And yes, he wants MARTIAL LAW so he can control or cancel elections.

For all this he needs to divide the country into hostile camps, manipulating one side by pushing the emotional buttons of fear, hate, and long simmering grievance. He depends on the complicity of a major media and a political party to sustain his endless lies for ignorant voters predisposed to believe them.

And a Supreme Court predisposed to rule in his favor, heedless of any honest interpretation of the United States Constitution.
