I mean no shit? Are Americans going to push back massively when he tries another coup, that’s the real question

There is zero chance that Trump would allow either chamber of Congress to be held by the Democrats. He understands the stakes. If the choice for Trump is either a Democratic controlled House or Senate and throwing the country into a Constitutional crisis over the rejection of elections, we know what he’ll choose. November, in many ways, is a final test as to whether we even live in a democracy anymore.

if this memo and shit is being pre-planned and is blatantly false without any info given can people get ahead of it in the courts?

We all know he will attempt it. The only question is whether the GOP senators and Supreme Court have a spine and if it’s too late if they do.

I wrote this a couple weeks ago when he announced the fed govt should take over elections. This seems like the basic course.

Why is this not surprising at all. The man is a crook and he will do anything. Why, because he is afraid.

Agreed. We need him out now, before he can truly ratfuck our elections for good.
No Kings III. March 28. Show the hell up.

It’s not a Coup D’Etat unless it comes from the Coup region in France. This is just sparkling white facism.

The first one may not have worked but at the same time there was no repercusion for him. Well, other than being elected president. So, why not go for it again. It’s not like the US will punsh him for anything. the man is stealing 10B and telling everyone he’s doing it. Crickets. Where is the outrage for any of his actions?

This only works when Congress and SCOTUS are complicit, so the entire Republican Party is planning a November Coup d’Etat.

More truthful headline would read – “It can now be plainly said: Trump is planning on finishing his January 6th coup d’État 6 years later in November.”

Republicans are gullible and complicit.
Fast forward and they will all deny being trump supporters once the adults actually regain authority.

> Trump has no power to “decree” that voters must present ID or to end mail-in balloting. But that doesn’t mean he can’t at least try both. Under the Insurrection Act or some other dusty statute, he can declare a state of emergency. Then he can decide that said state permits, nay requires, him to take extraordinary measures. On October 5, say, that might mean outlawing early voting. By October 13, it might mean no mail-in voting. By October 29, a reminder that all voters must present ID to vote. And by Sunday, November 1, two days before the election—an announcement that all these “reasonable” measures have alas failed, and he is now forced, against his will, to postpone the election.
> Have trouble seeing that happen? I didn’t think so.
Yes, quite honestly, I still am. Everything *else* in that scenario tracks. But there are still state-level elections that need to happen, like the 36 gubernatorial elections happening in November. That’s actually a large part of why elections *are* handled by the states. States also have elections. And I’m having a hard time picturing how, even in a doomsday scenario, Trump manages to prevent states from having gubernatorial or state legislative elections

They do not plan on relequshing control. This much is certain.

>The plan would mandate voter ID and ban mail-in balloting, and calls on Trump to issue an executive order announcing both measures.
I understand how requiring ID to vote would help Republicans, although many states already require ID to vote, so IDK how much this helps, but how does banning mail-in-voting help? Aren’t most of those votes from old people and the armed forces, whom skew Republican?

Trump is doing it but the Republican Party is defending and supporting it.
The RNC is a criminal organization, that’s why Trump fits right in.

Why can we only now say it? I’ve been saying it from the get-go (literally since 2016) and I was fucking right, and patting oneself on the back for finally growing the balls to call or what it is is a waste of time.
