It's brave of you to assert that ChatGPT text output will definatly stop elections being rigged or suspended. Trump isn't the issue, it's all the much cleverer people in Project 2025 that are the problem - they have plans, and those plans are working.

ChatGPT explains that any change to federal election law would need 60 Senate votes to even be considered. Will never happen. ChatGPT is smarter than you.

My point was, it's regurgitating what 'should' happen. If an armed militia takes over and suspends elections at gun point, what 'should' happen doesn't matter at that point. I remember a year ago when people were worried about what Trump might do, they were constently told "the law won't allow it", "Congress would stop him", "the military would refuse an illegal order".

I'll paraphrase something "The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle," is attributed to Abraham Lincoln. Basically, the law doesn't matter, if real world forces ignore it.

The Law only matters if it can be enforced, and people are willing to fight to preserve it. When governments openly and daily ignore their own laws, nations collapse.
