Some with Trump paranoia plan move to Canada

 Politico:

“This is not 2016 or 2020,” Kamala Harris said here Friday, on a campaign swing through this battleground state. “The stakes are even higher this time.”

But for Michigan Democrats listening, it’s sure starting to feel like a repeat of those two earlier races — all the way down to threats to move across the border to Canada should Donald Trump pull off what to them is inconceivable: Winning on Nov. 5.

As they watched Harris hammer Trump in a park framed by foliage in full color, hoisting their phones to snap photos of her and pining to hear Beyonce’s “Freedom” when Harris walked out, nearly 20 Democrats who spoke to POLITICO conceded that what was once a brat summer had faded into a plodding autumn.

The uneasy Democrats are now wrapping their heads around how the race became this impossibly close — and what they might do if Trump, currently leading within the margin of error here according to an average of public surveys, pulls this off.

Anxiety — and honest-to-God fear— has replaced joy on the trail for fretful Democrats 18 days out. Harris didn’t even say the word in her remarks. Instead, she described at least three times a “fight.”

“The election is here right now,” Harris said. “We have to energize and organize and mobilize and remind our neighbors and our friends that their vote is their voice.”

And not long after she walked off stage, voters here were contemplating what they would do not just in the days before they make it to the ballot box, but after if their preferred outcome didn’t materialize.

Some were weighing voting with their feet.

“Oh, God, she has to win: I don’t want to live in a Trumpian hellscape,” said Erin Conklin, a 62-year-old retired homemaker and artist. “We might have to leave: Canada, if they’ll take us.”
...

This looks and sounds like insanity.  The Trump presidency was the opposite of a hellscape.  Unlike the Biden-Harris regime, Trump was not putting his political opponents in jail.  The world was actually more peaceful under Trump and inflation was more under control.  I blame Democrat leaders for this Trump paranoia.  They are so desperate to cling to power that they are trying to frighten their voters into showing up.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
