Trump opposing mail-in ballots is the first step in the November presidential election being canceled.

You need to understand he is an authoritarian. He will blame any of his many failures on the constraints of democracy. He will seize power.

Authoritarians create crises and authoritarians use crises to remain in power. Any faith in our institutions or laws is only as good as people’s willingness to fight for them. You need to understand nothing should be taken for granted with Trump, with any authoritarian.
For anyone saying an election can’t be canceled or delayed. You need to understand this has happened time and time again. Authoritarians find ways, especially with the assistance of a party. Your faith is unfortunately misplaced.
And if you think Trump will accept a defeat by mail-in vote... look at 2016. The “voter fraud” excuse. Look at 2012, where Trump called for a literal revolution as Romney list handedly to Obama.

It’s time to reconsider what you think is possible.
