So here's a question, what happens when a bunch of democrat states take Trump off the ballot, and a bunch of republican states take Biden off. Can an election even go forward at that point? (lemmygrad.ml)

Colorado supreme court ruled that they can take Trump off the ballot, now it looks like California is trying to do that as well. Meanwhile, republican states are threatening to retaliate in kind.

This seems unprecedented for US, does anybody know what happens in this scenario?

I think you've nailed the problem on the head. If the election goes forward where some states allow one candidate and others allow the other, then whoever wins will lack legitimacy in the eyes of the public. Whichever side loses will immediately claim that the election was unfair and that the results should be overturned. This gets US a step closer to the civil war scenario.

They're so used to doing these things in other countries that they will try it themselves?

Let me grab some popcorn.

A color revolution finally coming home.

Where is Nuland right now? Is she in the States? Is this what happens if she is allowed to stay there too long, her very presence just causes color revolutions?
