Going Postal Series Of WarThis summer, a bipartisan group of former government officials, political professionals, lawyers and journalists held a series of war game exercises about how the 2020 election might go wrong. Convened by the law professor Rosa Brooks and the historian Nils Gilman, it was called the Transition Integrity Project, and the results were alarming. We assess with a high degree of likelihood that Novembers elections will be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape, said a resulting report. President Trump, it said, is likely to contest the result by both legal and extralegal means. Participants in the Transition Integrity Project played out tactics the president might try if threatened with defeat, including federalizing the National Guard to stop the counting of mail-in ballots. In each scenario, the decisions of the Department of Justice, state officials and the candidates themselves proved pivotal. A show of numbers in the streets and actions in the streets may be decisive factors in determining what the public perceives as a just and legitimate outcome, said the report.

Its a pretty massive effort thats underway, said Rashad Robinson, executive director of Color of Change, which is part of the coalition. Activists all over the country, he said, are really gearing up for this fight. It could be a fight unlike any most living Americans have experienced. We have been building grass-roots power for the last three and a half years, said Ezra Levin, one of the co-founders of Indivisible, which helped put the Protect the Results coalition together. This is not just a one day showing up at congressional district offices or town halls or a march. This is a possibility of a dayslong or weekslong mobilization, so we knew we had to start preparing now. Recently the conservative Michael Brendan Dougherty wrote, in National Review, that he has the unsettling sense that some progressives are steeling themselves for a color revolution in the United States, referring to the uprisings that ousted autocrats in post-Soviet countries like Ukraine. Dougherty believes progressives relish the prospect of violent revolution, writing that they think Trump must be toppled, somehow, preferably in a major confrontation. ![]() The prospect is, rather, a source of terror and dread that must nonetheless be considered. ![]() Biden, she said, can call a press conference, but Donald Trump can call up the 82nd Airborne.
