Didn’t know that. I never turn off cellular data though.

Presumably they’d be prosecuted for state crimes. Trump would likely use it as an excuse to declare the insurrection act. But what changes? There are already armed troops on the streets gassing, beating, and killing people.

Yep. Nothing can ever sync instantaneously. Data takes some time (especially in a big crowd).

That’s why ensuring the cellular data toggle is on is so critical. If that’s turned on the photos & videos should sync automatically.

This is a critical step. Ensure it is syncing over cellular data or else it will wait til you’re connected to WiFi.

For cellular data, go to Settings - Apps - Photos. Then scroll down to Cellular Data. Tap that and turn on Cellular Data.

/2 The official policy of Trump supporters is that they support anything this government does.

Treat them accordingly.

They would no longer hold office once their term ends. Or is your argument that every republican in a red state is just going to refuse to leave office?

I agree with you that they may not care. But just logistically, it’s really not possible for them to stop the elections. They don’t have enough troops to be in enough communities to stop it. Plus all the state pols want their jobs and aren’t going to voluntarily let them go away.

That’s… not how it works. An executive order doesn’t just override the constitution. When he’s tried things that are unconstitutional they’ve been struck down by courts and he’s backed down. See national guard in LA & Chicago, etc.

If they did that they would have no ability to vote or do anything, so they couldn’t elect a new speaker. Also they wouldn’t get paid so…don’t see that happening.

In that scenario there would be no reps at all. Every rep is up for re-election. Every rep would be out of a job (including, Mike Johnson).

Mike Johnson wouldn’t be speaker anymore. He would not even be a rep anymore because his term ends and if LA canceled their election he’d be out of a job.

So it would be a disaster for the repubs. Not to mention that many states that cancel elections would no longer have governors or state reps/senators, etc. Bottom line: I just can't see any way they'd do this.

If red states cancel their elections, those states would have zero reps in the house (every house race is up for reelection). Assuming no party changes, the end result would be something like 167 Ds vs 91 Rs in the house. In the senate, it would be something like the Ds gaining about 5 seats.

Then those states cease to have representation. The current congress's term expires on 1/3/27. That's not up for debate. It's in the 20th Amendment of the Constitution. So, Mike Johnson is no longer speaker after 1/3/27.

I think you’re overestimating the average person’s ability to understand this. Most people I know who are using ChatGPT, for example, many of whom are highly educated with multiple degrees, are surprised when I tell them that it often gets things wrong. Most people are using it without thinking.
