    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 have searched the depth of legal nonsense and still found nothing. But I have found some lawyers unscrupulous enough to just make up some absolutely insane and implausible bullshit, and I will be somehow convincing them to put that case before a judge I handpick. Then when most states refuse to follow the idiotic decree I have set forth based on 100% flawed arguments with no constitutional power behind them, I will declare that those states are stealing the election and declare martial law.”*

    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.

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

  9. 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.

    Is anyone here ready for a revolution to abolish a tyrannical government? My money is on the Constitution, and States‘ Rights.

    *Freedom-hating right-wing sources*: Go ahead and click on the inflammatory headline. Now enjoy the next 600 words of bullshitting and exposition.

    *Freedom-defending left-wing sources*: Sorry, this article is behind a paywall, just like all the others. If you wanted to read the news for free, why don’t go to FOX instead?

    This is exactly how conservatives control the narrative and why liberals keep losing the culture war.

  13. > 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

    Well…he attempted one after he lost and voters in 2024 said “we want him to finish the job this time”. MAGA and republicans don’t want free and fair elections, that’s what P2025 was for. It’s literally the party’s platform.

    >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?

  16. He was caught trying to cheat, he has fake electors submit fake documents from several states and was still allowed to run again. He’s been cheating the whole time..
