    What do you think of this?

    Republicans and corporate Democrats move forward with evictions, which will bring about riots all around the country. Then Trump declares martial law and postpones elections indefinitely. Realistic?

      I think the already-brewing state vs federal power struggle will escalate to the point it needs some sort of resolution before the eviction crisis really gets moving.

        I don't think it'll be an issue at all in R states and it seems like the testing ground in Oregon is not putting up much opposition to this unilateral intervention.
        So I think they'll just swallow the boot and get in line once the time comes. But I'm just spitballing here, so what do I know.

          There's already a thing going on in Washington where Trump says he's sending troops and Inslee says he can't. And I don't think Inslee is cool enough to keep pushing back on that under pressure, but something has to come of it, and that makes prediction timelines really complicated. (And, as I said elsewhere in this thread, I don't think the eviction crisis is going to really take off for another few months, so there's time to make it even more complicated.)
