It’ll be in late September to mid October if it happens, but I think it might be too late. His people are already questioning the Butler PA event and the trust needed to pass bullshit over them seems to be eroding. Fascists do not do well when people even wonder whether they’re telling the truth or not.
We need to be prepared for a variety of scenarios like election fraud, refusal to leave, or refusal to seat the new congress. But I think the propaganda game is more or less lost for the assholes.

Well January 6 was most definitely a chaotic attempt at a Beer Hall Putsch equivalent.
Looking at false flags specifically, he is talking about past “stolen” elections and is also using election security as pretext to change voting infrastructure with some justification. Although the changes are both legal and illegal at times.
It seems like he managed to repurpose ICE and homeland security into his personal police and spy agency, very akin to the gestapo / SS. He is using immigrants as a scapegoat, no matter their legal status.
I guess it’s harder to find a false flag specifically equivalent to the Reichstag fire, but he is using false flags at almost the same level constantly for different things. So technically no, but practically he’s got one foot on the line. We’ll have to see where he takes this during the elections coming up.
