Seth and Thomas unpack, in excruciating detail, the stunningly plausible yet still somehow unthinkable nightmare scenario: an incumbent president who loses his re-election bid in November but finds a way to stay in power with the implicit blessing of partisan state elections officials, a conveniently hands-off 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, and a compliant network of state congressional delegations in the House of Representatives. The first stages of this scheme have already been fully and successfully executed, and the whole of the plot is not just legal but has already been telegraphed as palatable to those who’d be responsible for carrying it out, so hold onto your hats—this may be exactly where we’re headed.
