Kurt Eichenwald's Twitter thread about how Trump could cancel the election is keeping people up at night

I’d say it’s a bit late for that. The Redcap In Chief has already gotten the message that the POTUS is supposed to be the ‘quick-acting’ branch of the government, when the ‘slow and methodical’ branches (i.e., Congress and Judiciary) can’t react to a situation with dispatch. And since Don John Two-Scoops has already spent his entire life honing his gaslighting/grifting skills on everyone dumb enough to work for him or rent from him or otherwise do business with him in any way, he’s got all the skills necessary to put the country into ‘crisis mode’ for as long as he lives.
The one and only possible remedy for it is to get a Democrat supermajority into both the House and Senate, to override every veto he casts AND to use their own powers to physically drag him from the White House if/when he refuses to surrender power voluntarily.
