Great Twitter thread about the possibilities of this election:
1/ Here's how Trump & his team work:
– Announce something outrageous and illegal. Followers act on it. Critics scream & go to court. Court says "stop."
– Trump team announces some new variant, also outrageous and illegal. Same happens.
– Trump Team does same thing, over & over –— Rosa Brooks (@brooks_rosa) July 31, 2020
3/ Trump keeps "losing" and having to retreat. But meanwhile, he is winning, because each time, some damage is done: his directives cause real harm that cannot be undone by subsequent roll backs.

5/ Trump formula: repeat x 1,000, on every single issue.
Expect it. Prepare for it.

7/ Slowing things down on the margins, changing a few people's behavior on the margins, causing confusion on the margins, hurting a few people on the margins. Over time, it adds up
