Could it be that Trump, in an effort to keep power, cancels the 2020 election due to a serious coronavirus wave outbreak? If it sounds evil and vile, then you can bet Republicans are probably going to do it. The Republican-led Senate just gave Trump a free pass on impeachment despite him being guilty as hell, thus suspending rule of law, checks and balances and democracy. So, Trump can do whatever he wants. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Republicans under Bush tried to create a perpetual war with its war on terrorism after 9\/11 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?p=4250\" target=\"_blank\">Republicans under Bush tried to create a perpetual war with its war on terrorism after 9\/11<\/a>. Now with many waves of coronavirus possible and the American public panicking like never before, Republicans will absolutely politicize the hell of it because if there&#8217;s one thing the GOP knows how to do, it&#8217;s fearmonger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the sheeple scared and keep &#8217;em away from the polls!
