We listened as speaker after speaker explained that Trump was certain to win the 2020 presidential election – then just weeks away – in a landslide. Anything less would be a sign the Democrats had cheated. If that happened, warned a man from the podium, we may need to take matters into our own hands.

He is now serving an 11-year prison sentence.
