The Looming Post-Election Chaos In Pennsylvania Could Be Our Modern "Fort Sumter"-- We Need A Landslide, Not Just A Win!

I'll Keep Writing About Things Most Of Us Don't Want to Think About--
September 3, 2022
Who doesn't see what lies ahead in Pennsylvania? Or, who wants to? Incel Mastriano will likely lose to Shapiro by a narrow margin, but will refuse to accept certification of the vote or any court rulings on the matter. As sure as I know my name, I can see him organizing and leading a heavily armed group of white supremacist militias, many of which will come from throughout the US, and attempt to seize the Governorship by force. This will be the Trump insurrection's "Fort Sumter."
Remember that Pennsylvania sent many bus loads of terrorists to January 6th, and they mostly came from Central PA, Mastriano's base. He paid for the buses and was there. Remember also that Ron DeSantis came to PA personally to campaign for him, and as is known, his state of Florida had the greatest number of terrorists in attendance that day, and the most people charged with crimes of any state. If you think these things are unrelated, think again.
Anyone who thinks Mastriano wore a Confederate uniform (article on his relationship to the fascist militias from 2020 below) because he was doing "cosplay" for fun is living in a Tooth Fairy universe. The Nazi "Elmer Fudd fanboy" Mastriano is a leading Trump cult leader, and IS the insurrection. He is with QAnon and the actual Nazis who use Gab. The "Rod of Iron Ministries" AR-15 cult of Rev. Sean Moon is at his disposal, and because Moon is a Gun dealer they have a huge armory stockpiled. And most ominous is that what he does after the election will likely be a trigger for similar militia insurgencies nationally, which is why the President must and likely will act decisively.
I have little doubt that the most dangerous scenario for Pennsylvania and nationally is that President Biden will be forced to invoke the 1807 Act and deploy the National Guard in Pennsylvania. And at that point nothing in the US is predictable.
Why do you think Biden went to Philadelphia and said what he said? It's his job to think about and prepare himself (and us) for everything that might realistically happen on his watch. As hard as he hit on the actual danger we face, he wouldn't speak to all of it because most of us can't handle it all at once. He also would want to avoid triggering an immediate explosion of violence on all sides. But he had to intervene right now to get us to think about the worst case scenarios, and if you heard his tone while speaking it was indicative. The very fact that he chose to go to Philadelphia, democracy's birthplace, is all the more significant in this light.
Almost to a fault, I always think this way, which is to imagine the worst and prepare for it in order to prevent it. It is why I've been saying since May when the Incel won his primary that Pennsylvania is our modern day Gettysburg. I'm afraid too many people don't see it that way.
The President knows we need a landslide in Pennsylvania to remove all doubt. That's why, in my view, he made the forceful and uncharacteristically dire statements he made about the immediate threat to democracy right now, not something that might happen in 2024. All of this stopped being politics a long time ago.
It is already 2024. What are we doing to make a landslide happen? That is a question which I think requires an answer.
