I hope you don't mean the same Americans who allowed trumPutin
to seize power in 2016, or to put up with trumP and impeachment,
treachery, corruption, a Depression and The Plague for four years?

Are you saying those people are finally going to have enough and put a stop to this?
Or is the article the joke with trumP's attempt to become Tyrant the punchline?

Have you seen the MAGAT revolt in Michigan?
Not in Mississippi, mind you, but in Michigan?

trumP is not going quietly, if he goes at all.

I don't see him ever losing. We have been steadily losing this country since Watergate. Slow steady steps starting with Reagan's "nine most terrifying words", through Ailes, neut and the fox propaganda site. Ever forbackward 1 step ahead, 2 steps back.
Trump ain't hitler but he has a similar small base. The biggest difference is trumps power come from the real evil of McConnell and from the huge backlash to having a real live black man going in and out the front door of the White House just as big and proud as you please - hard to admit, but Obama was the biggest force in the get out the new never voted right wing voter crowd.

- and what was it their spokesperson said about the children - something about "baby mamas".

I think that if everyone who wants to vote is allowed to vote,
and if all those votes are honestly counted, trumP is crushed.
But I don't know that we're going to see a fair and free election.

I hope you are right, but with foreign state sponsored videos and with the James O'Keefe types making more fake videos, mainstream news doing some idiotic dance by giving conspiracy ideas equal time against facts and trumps imaginary tale of stopping the virus and giving everyone free money will all factor into the count.

Oh, and if needed, there will be the war to consider

I still say he's going to try and postpone the election, especially if his "open up our country" bullshit results in an even more widespread outbreak. I can't imagine the amount of blatant lying and whining and bragging and blame placing that will accompany the announcement.

No matter what he raves about, a real President, much less an impeached President* has no authority to dismiss Congress nor postpone/cancel the election. His power to declare martial law are way more limited than he thinks, and he probably wouldn't like it anyway. Decent discussion here:

But he should certainly feel free and welcome to OD on anything available.

The Stable Genius has a multitude of options:

1) Aggravate the pandemic situation so the election gets postponed or cancelled.

2) When the fake protests reach a fake crescendo, declare martial law and postpone or cancel the election.

3) Dismiss Congress if it tries to impeach him again.

4) OD on Chloroquine.
One vote here for option 4

Limitations on presidential authority only exist if both houses of Congress and/or SCOTUS and/or the various security services say they exist.

Ut-oh.

His power to do things as he sees fit is not limited by the senate and likely will not be limited by his SC lackeys.

Possibly, but here's a good legal/political analysis of the "adjourning Congress" issue, from a right-wing perspective in National Review. Short version, among other points, Obama already tried it and lost in the Supreme Court. Ironically, Obama beats Trump again.
