I want to know what people really feel is the most realistic and likely way that the next week goes down. If you already know, answer first, then read on. I don't want to influence your thinking with my own.
This is what I think: Monday and Tuesday: More declassification, more military on scene. End of Tuesday, Biden team announces delay of inauguration proceedings citing "security concerns", as they have been.
Public focus on it elevates, shills start appearing in a mixture of panic and anger; blaming Trump and supporters for it all and being scared that he might not be inaugurated. All the while, stuff continues to come out, painting all of the DS in a bad light, especially Biden. This gains visibility with the delay of the ceremony. The new date for the ceremony is set for a week later or so.\
Time passes, tons more bombshells against him, and there is hardcore warfare for control of the public narrative; is Biden terrible? Is Trump terrible?
We're a day or two out from the new date. Either they punt it down later again, or Biden comes out and moderately quietly steps down. Oddly, there is minimal outrage; it makes headlines, but, somehow, emotions are not significantly widely stirred. His supporters had been dooming deep down since the delay, and many low information voters that either supported him or just in general aren't following much news take it with mixed but muted emotions due to the bad things declassified about him and just sheer widespread emotional and mental exhaustion from the past months, if not years. Because he was never sworn in, Trump takes presidency again.This captivates the news cycle, and, quietly, a week or so later, Biden is taken into custody, alongside other non-public officials.
With the presidency secured in Trump's hands, the military buildup fades, and he declares official appointment of special councils, etc. to investigate and prosecute on all the declassified information. We wait a month or two, the public recovers their stamina and attention span, and then we witness the reports from these investigations, and we watch as major DS officials get taken in and put on trial, one by one, and found guilty, for all of the world to see. The corruption is exposed calmly, and eventually, the swamp is drained. Trump finishes his term (as this might take around two years to process and to get replacements for guilty officials) strong with the other branches of government in lock step, fixing our voting systems, cleaning up the covid mess, and restoring our government. Trump proceeds to take the back seat as the leader of the reformed party (or new party or whatever) and becomes the kingmaker, involved in politics still, as I don't think he's the kind of guy that would ever truly retire; but taking things a lot more calmly. He endorses one of the next candidates, and life goes on with major course corrections in place and minimal public upset.
I would accept this outcome, and, though I'd much prefer something more direct and absolute, I just feel like that won't happen. Do we really think that Joe Biden will be arrested in the two days before his inauguration, let alone like, 3/4ths of the legislature and hundreds of others? It's definitely possible, it just doesn't seem like the plan that would be preferred by public officials who generally want to reduce public chaos rather than elevate it.
To be clear, I do NOT believe Biden will be sworn in. I also do NOT believe he will be arrested mid-inauguration. Something like that would be way too jarring to people, and we really haven't seen the kind of Declas I was hoping for or expecting to see that would really bring the house down and set the stage for mass arrests. Perhaps if we get the Durham report, and it damningly indites all of the DS officials including Joe, we might see mass arrests, but a part of me expected that to come out today if at all. I suppose the possibility remains that they get arrested and THEN the report warranting it is revealed, but I'm equally unsure of that.
What do you all think is MOST likely to happen (not just what you want to happen, I mean from the Q/etc. perspective of protecting civilians whilst defeating the DS)?
