Now might not be the time to ask about conspiracy theories.<p>Let's see:<p>1) The US is an actual police state where the police have little check on their power.<p>2) ACAB<p>3) A substantial fraction of the US population (> 1/3rd) supports white supremacy.<p>4) "Guns rights activists" are more interested in their right to be able to shoot black people than defending freedom, liberty, or Constitutional rights.<p>5) The current administration will do everything it can do to keep power, including illegal and unconstitutional acts, which might include invalidating the upcoming election.<p>6) A large enough fraction of the US police and military will support #5 that it will be carried off.<p>Or were you thinking of something inconsequential like a hollow Earth?
