The Supreme Court’s conservative majority didn’t decide the legality of Trump’s order, instead ruling that states who sued did not have the legal right to challenge it.
I mean, I’m not saying that’s not possible. I’m saying it was the opposite case of your first claim. They need to move as quickly as possible to implement the guidelines before Sept 3rd. If they don’t make it in time, some states will have already sent ballots. It’s more than just USPS involved here, they’re only one part of the “guidelines” Trump wants.
The postal service, like the courts, is slow to adapt. So are the states.
All of that being said, those lucky enough to live in a state like Washington or Oregon can already cut out the postal service entirely by printing ballots at home and dropping them off at the ballot box. The postal service has no power to block the ballots that way other than the inconvenience of printing at home or a library. I have exclusively used ballot boxes the entire time I’ve lived in WA, and if fuckery does happen (which I wouldn’t be shocked by), I’ll print my ballot and drop it off.
At no point have I denied the treason aspect that you are bringing up. I am attempting to let people know how to work around it and still be able to vote. Part of fighting this treason is to work around it while the treason itself is also sorted out.

Sent ballots out, sure. But they can be sent back as long as they’re postmarked up to election day.
Do you mean ballots sent through the USPS from a voter to the election commission? Or am I misunderstanding?
Ballot drop boxes are not operated by the postal service.
Yes, the first one. Yes, I know that many people can “work around” the treason by using drop boxes. It’s still treason.

Didn’t say you did. We’re on the same page, I’m just especially salty today.
Understandably, I feel that.
