Meet the Far-Right Constitutional Sheriffs Ready to Assert Control if Trump Loses

There are hundreds of Constitutional Sheriffs around the country who believe they are the ultimate legal power in their county. We break down how they have coalesced with the election denial movement.

"Constitutional Sheriffs believe that they are there to protect the citizens of their county, and the only power that they answer to are those citizens and the Constitution, and therefore, they believe that no federal, no state agency can tell them what to do and that they have ultimate power over their dominion, which in the US is a county."

There are 400 to 1,000 Constitutional Sheriffs in our country.

If doesn't win they take over.

Good answer. I believe that Biden has taken the necessary steps to not let Jan 6 ever happen again.

@QueenOfEverything @BrentSullivan

Can you say more about what steps he’s taken?

We’ve been a little bit out of the anxiety loop that is the news these days.

@ATXJane @BrentSullivan

Trump is putting more effort into discrediting November’s election as he is into winning it.

I can't find the Biden clip- but he was asked about "another Jan 6" and he said that our country will be prepared. It's a much different scenario bc trump isn't President, can't call out troops, or demand invalidate the election. The vote security is heightened. That's top priority. Biden won't give away what happens if :Asshat: "rebells"

Thank you so much for your reply. Like so many others, I’m managing anxiety. I think we’ll know a lot more thru the election itself & then muddle thru the aftermath. Our democracy seems both fragile in certain ways & doggedly stubborn & recalcitrant in others.
I know there are countervailing forces, but I’m hoping for healing & righting the ship. 🇺🇸 And maybe upleveling toward our better selves.
