Brace yourself for the chaotic hellscape that’s likely to follow Election Day. While many of us are trying to game out our most-paranoid worst-case scenarios, Trump keeps adding more reasons for us to worry about November 3.

As Eric J Scholl points out, the president and his inner circle already appear to be strategizing ways the Supreme Court could influence the election outcome. And according to Barton Gellman at The Atlantic, the Trump campaign is even “discussing contingency plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states where Republicans hold the legislative majority.”

Cool cool cool cool cool. What’s the worst that can happen? 🙃
