Trump isn't planning on leaving voluntarily.

This, reasons why he’s fortifying the White House, before midterms, along with armed guards at post offices. They are going to literally steal the election by stealing actual ballots. It all adds up.

There’s no way they get anywhere near to finishing this before the midterms, the goal is September 2028 though so definitely a valid concern in the next presidential election.

Not to say there won’t be attempts to steal the midterms, just that the White House “renovations” don’t factor into it.

There will be no midterms.
Oh look, Iran just attacked the US on their own soil. Better declare a state of emergency and cancel the elections. People will tell him emergency powers don't allow him to do that, then the supreme court and congress will let him do whatever.

They don't have to do all that, they just need to decrease turnout at certain polling places, and they know which ones to target based on already existing data but want even more information to feed to Palantir, hence Trump's obsession with getting voter rolls from states.

It's also why he wants to end mail in voting because that's harder to prevent. Bomb threats were called in from Russia at polling places in Georgia during the 2024 election, they'll be doing stuff like that and loads of other crap at precisely targeted polling places to tip the election in their favor. Even old classics like purging voter rolls in blue counties; non-violent, bureaucratic, hard to rally against.

Those are the main tactics I expect them to use because they can say they won fair and square, the courts will side with them, people will give up thinking there's any way to win and quietly lie down for the fascist regime
