could someone hand-hold me through the rationale of trump's anti-USPS efforts? like, if all mail is canceled, how does that help him win? or is he just selectively killing mail in urban areas where people will be voting for grandpa joe?
all that shit aside, my jaw is kind of on the floor at headlines like "Postal Service plans to remove 671 high-volume mail processing machines"... what

I just thought it was the tail of a long term effort by the GOP to privatise mail?

Apparently, people who (would only) vote via mail (poor people, minorities) predominantly vote Democrat? At least that's what Trump's team believes...

As hilarious and satisfying that would be, with the state the US seems to be in now and with all the gun nuts out there, I would be much too afraid of the civil unrest that would surely follow...

I would have no idea what to expect.
I usually credit our fringes with absolutely nothing - incoherent mal-adapted role-playing social rejects. Not a legitimate structural threat, but good for a few bits of random violent tragedy per decade.
This year has obviously proven that I was slightly mistaken, but how much? The retarded children tearing Seattle apart and destroying statues of historical figures aren't the ones who would freak out if Trump was assassinated. They come from the OTHER pile of worthless thalidomide-baby filth. What are we supposed to do if BOTH vats of human waste get spilled? Maybe if the South rises again while the state is being smashed, both columns of easily-manipulated emotionally subnormal cum-elementals will collide with each other and all die. Then I don't have to think about any of them anymore, AND trump is dead.
2021 here we come.

If you think things are bad now wait until a heavily armed civilian population starts facing mass evictions. This payroll tax deferment could also lead to the dismantling of social security in the course of another four year term.
