I’m not the only person who is alarmed. What I wrote sounds extreme but it could happen. The Perry Bacon, Jr. column is outstanding.
The calm, grown-up take is that “the country will be okay no matter who wins the election”. Normally that’s true. But we can also point to moments in history where that wasn’t true. I think it’s just as reasonable to ask “What if we break something that can’t be easily unbroken?”

Trump has already said it will be rigged. I would not expect Johnson to observe the traditional process if Trump loses.
