I did hear a Trumplican call in to a radio show today and say something to the effect "He should just declare martial law, arrest all the Democrats in government and lock them all up, because they want to make us be Communist/Socialists"
I wouldn't suggest death camps to that guy, he sounded like he was ready to start on his own campaign.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I apologize if I mistakenly thought that you wanted to get rid of the electoral college. But I did hear, contrary to your opinion, more than that. I did hear you're questioning the unfairness of the e.c. and the anti-democratic nature of it. I admit that I didn't hear you say that it should be tweaked. I checked back in the thread but couldn't find that. And most discussions about the controversy are portrayed as the e.c. versus the popular vote.

In any event, my question to you was not if the electoral college should exist, or even if it should be "tweaked." My question is "is it necessary for America to have 50 separate units of government with different constitutions, various different laws, different educational concepts, different tax structures, different economic conditions and needs, differences that often are obstacles that the national government has to overcome, or would it be better, more democratic, more efficient and cheaper if we were the United State of America rather than the United States of America? There certainly would be no need of something like the electoral college. And we could easily, basically unopposed, have the purely democratic popular vote.
