    Yes, there will be.

    Your social media algorithm may be sensationalizing things to keep you engaged, but after Minnesota, any hope of a coup is gone, because Minnesota taught the authoritarians that they didn’t have a mandate to go full Gestapo. It also taught them that trying would not only piss off Democrats, but also fracture their own power base and create resistance among Republicans, which is why they’re speedrunning their grift on order to maximize the financial returns before the window closes and they have to pretend they care about ethics again.

    Hell, CBP killed two people in Minneapolis and all it did was motivate more people to get out into the streets, people wearing both colors of jerseys, not unlike how Nazis trying to batter Warsaw into submission created the most metal resistance movement of WWII.

    November is going to be a bloodbath. The only downer is that Democrats don’t actually oppose anything, so the extent to which it will matter is debatable. That fact, more than anything, should be comforting to you if you’re honestly afraid of canceled elections.
