Defaulting on the debt would be a great “emergency” that requires elections to be cancelled…


Thankfully elections are more or less impossible to cancel since they are scheduled by the states


And having armed federal agents at the polling booths won’t be a problem? Or declaring it “stolen”, or simply ignoring the results, or refusing to leave office.

None of those are much of a stretch from all the laws already broken repeatedly


Including the states that have replaced their election officials with Trump loyalists?
