We have had a lot of discussions about different topics surrounding executive authority and and attempts to subvert democracy to assume complete power.

The Atlantic

Trump Is Already Undermining the Next Election

And the one after that, and the one after that.

Let's start with election integrity. As it stands, orange Voldemort with a nose (OVWAN) is attempting to exert undue control over the electoral process, something presidents aren't supposed to have any involvement in, outside of their own reelection campaigns.

Taking control of elections or de facto destroying them, is a key step a would be dictator has to take in order to provide longevity to their regimes.

The article I shared touches on a few topics within potential threats to elections, one it hasn't addressed is the federal governments funding powers when it comes to states running their election processes. Specifically security funding. One of the weapons in Dump's arsenal is the two tiered justice system that will actively target anti-MAGA sentiment while ignoring the intimation, coercion and violence employed by his enabled MAGA moron followers.

A failure of security during either the 2026 midterms or the 2028 could be catastrophic. While the ballots still remain closed, a dangerous obstacle course is being prepared to a would be voter in even making it there, unscathed.

As the article details, there are congressional and executive attempts to disenfranchise as many voters as possible. Birth certificate verification may be tossed out the window. This will impact the votes of working class voters, minorities, married women and those who happen to not be medically fit to drive and have not traveled abroad.

I think it is safe to assume, whether legal or not, there will be a 25th amendment attempt by the Republican candidate to pass the torch back to Trump, assuming the candidate in question isn't going to make their own power grab against Trump if they win the next presidential election, if they can even lose said election should OVWAN successfully rig it.

Hmm, I might take out a subscription to the Atlantic. As a concerned European, I think I need a reliable source of commentary on these shenanigans.

The current proprietor of The Atlantic is Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs  is the widow of Steve Jobs who founded Apple. She purchased The Atlantic  in 2017, six years after the death of her husband in 2011, and she is a billionaire (worth $15 billion) in her own right. She also seems to be in the process of inheriting the mantle of the legendary Katherine Graham who became the publisher of The Washington Post after the death of her husband Philip Graham in 1963.

Graham appointed Ben Bradlee as editor, and backed him fearlessly in the face of enormous hostile pressure from the Nixon administration over the publication of follow-up articles about the Pentagon Papers (first published by the New York Times in 1971), and then memorably backed her editor when he went to press with articles about the Watergate Scandal written by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein from 1972 onwards.
