Will This Lead To Martial Law & Suspension Of The Midterns?

I don’t know. I don’t know everything in Project 2025, but I wonder if bombing Iran & following that up with Martial law & then suspend the midterms? What do you think?

Elections are run by the states, and were held during the civil war, WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, and after 9/11.

Nationwide martial law is a physical impossibility- do the math.

They can’t even control 10 million Los Angelenos, how they gonna control 350 million across 50 states?

The "Burn it all down and see what the results are" type of politics. At least he didn't nuke, but this isn't much better.
He just wants to look like he's doing something to keep his backers happy and stay out of jail.

Trump would declare Martial Law. The person responded, no because that would immediately cause the stock market to drop by 50% and even Trump is smart enough not to do that. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly who it was or exactly where I saw it. I've been searching online and still can't find it. Does anyone else remember seeing that or am I just imagining it?
