    The “backlash” will be that the people that take him off the ballot may end up being murdered. Or their family might be killed. Or both. Sure, maybe it’s the duty of the secretary of state in each state to remove him from the ballot. But would you be willing to do that if it was likely someone would try to murder you? And consider for a moment that it’s likely that a significant number of cops that you might expect would protect you probably sympathize with political violence in favor of Trump.

    Those are the stakes for the people that need to remove him from the ballot.

    Are you ready and willing to fight? Because you might have to.

      This is why Mexican politicians kowtow to the cartels.

      I thought America was better than this.

      If I took an oath of office you bet your ass I’d be willing. That’s what it means to serve your country in office. If you aren’t willing to uphold your oath, resign.

      I would hold no ill will to any person who resigned their position because they are unwilling but if you want to do the job, do it.
