We are reaching the point of constitutional crisis. The republicans are fully on board with undermining and placing doubt on our democracy. They are already telegraphing an intent to mess with the electoral college through the electors... Im afraid we may be heading to towards a coup. If that happens, and I hope republicans take a long hard look at what would happen, we are gonna watch the downfall of our society through violence and economic destruction.
I think and hope a lot of this is posturing from the right but its getting to the point where its leaning towards an outright coup.

(25,457 posts)They're a bunch of bloviating morons. Just because they all repeat the same bullshit doesn't make it any less false.
It has zero basis in reality and is going nowhere, just like Trump's silly lawsuits. If all they have is a sex offender "star witness" and some Trump supporter who tried to vote twice, you really think the election is going to be overturned? Nonsense.
The electors BS has been repeatedly debunked. Not happening.

(1,351 posts)I dont think any electors nor the Supreme Court would go along with is. They would cause an apocalypse. The overwhelming popular vote along with large margins of victory in a state like PA. They would need electors in several states to change their votes and set up a horrible precedent.

(10,533 posts)The GOP is now refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of any votes for the opposing party. They have no intention of turning over the levers of power. What do you call that?

(8,029 posts)trump starts using the nuclear arsenal that has now been left exposed since he's fired everyone in charge of managing it, and he just fired the Defense Secretary that would refuse to start a war for him.
I think they're buying time.
