From September: Report: Trump Campaign Actively Discussing Radical Measures To Bypass Election Results
Pretty much what they are doing now.A jarring new report from The Atlantic claims that the Trump campaign is discussing potential strategies to cir vent the results of the 2020 election, should Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump, by first alleging the existence of rampant fraud and then asking legislators in battleground states where the Republicans have a legislative majority to bypass the state’s popular vote and instead to choose electors loyal to the GOP and the sitting president.
------------------------------------------------------
An active coup attempt to get around the results of a free and fair election, fascist voter suppression efforts aside.
Trump’s Attempts to Overturn the Election Are Unparalleled in U.S. History
The president’s push to prevent states from certifying electors and get legislators to override voters’ will eclipses even the bitter 1876 election as an audacious use of brute political force.

Trump to meet Michigan leaders in bid to subvert election
WASHINGTON (AP) — Michigan state legislators headed to the White House on Friday as President Donald Trump made an extraordinary and sure-to-be futile attempt to block Joe Biden's victory in the battleground state and subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The state has yet to certify its results for Biden, who won Michigan by more than 154,000 votes, according to unofficial results. Trump and his allies have been trying to convince judges and lawmakers in the state to set aside the popular vote and swap in Republican-chosen electors.
The president personally called two county canvass board officials earlier this week who had refused to certify the results in Wayne County, the state's most populous county and one that overwhelmingly favored Biden. The two GOP officials eventually agreed to certify the results, but following Trump's call, they later said they had second thoughts.
Then Trump invited Republican state legislators to Washington. As he departed Detroit for Washington on Friday morning, state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey was swarmed by activists bearing signs that read: “Respect the Vote" and “Protect Democracy.” House Speaker Lee Chatfield was also headed to D.C., as were at least two other GOP leaders.

Michigan Militia Plot Involved Capitol Takeover, Televised ‘Executions’
The militiamen who plotted to kidnap and execute Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer saw their operation mainly as a backup plan for a much more ambitious "Plan A," prosecutors say.
The plan was
to assemble 200 armed "Patriots"
who would take over the state Capitol building in Lansing, Michigan, and
then hold televised executions of the state officials they took hostage.
According to a do ent filed by the Michigan Attorney General's Office this week in response to an attempt by attorneys for one of the men to drastically reduce his bond,
the militiamen devised the Capitol takeover plan alongside their schemes to abduct Whitmer from her summer home.
At the end,
they intended either to kill everyone inside the building or to simply set it aflame with everyone locked inside.

The Capitalist oligarchy and their cheap shock troop Repugs fully intend to take over govt completely and not give it back
The Capitol insurrection isn't moderating the GOP.
It's making them more extreme.
Donald Trump lost a clearly winnable election, and now has saddled the entire party with responsibility for an attempt to overthrow the government
If ever there was a time for soul-searchingamong Republicans, now is that time.
Republicans are going to double down
on Trash,
culture war grievance politics,
violent insurrection, and
conspiratorial insanity for the indefinite future.

Looks like my post from November 20 was a wee bit prescient.
Coup indeed.

McCarthy kissing the ring sealed the deal.
One ring to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Another results of Trash/Repug push for one-party fascist totalitarianism is to deepen an already poisonous, violent, toxic American civilizatonal paranoia.
US Gun Sales Surged 60% in January
U.S. gun sales in January surged 60% to 4,137,480. This makes it the largest single month since figures started to be recorded in 1998.
The rise is part of a trend.
The sales total in the United States rose 40% last year to 39,695,315.
The figure also represents the high water mark in gun sales since the current record-keeping system went into effect.
Increases by state in January varied substantially, as has been the case for years.
Growing civil unrest may have prompted people to buy guns for personal and family protection,
Another theory is that chaos brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic is a major cause.
A new UC Davis School of Medicine study about fear of violence reports:
“The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated persistent structural, economic, and social inequities
in the conditions that contribute to violence and its consequences.”

American so-called civilization, unstoppably failing towards collapse.
The country faces a huge challenge
but instead of depending on and strengthening social bonds,
people attack each other,
attack the government with support from the Repugs,
refuse to cooperate for the common good, and
arm themselves to kill other Americans

Impressive mental gymnastics
Publicly state you plan to weaken the Police force, decriminalize misdemeanors and do away with cash bail; people respond by arming themselves
lmao gab having to post on twitter for anybody to pay attention
Right-wingers have been suckered by gun manufacturers and have swallowed propagand without thinking. Let them arm themselves, if it makes them happy.
Solving problems using left-wing, progressive policies will end up being cheaper, and better for economy in the long run.
Police are not the solution to all of societies ills, and thinking that is true would shoulder a huge burden of evidence to credibly assert.
Are police the solution to all of societies ills?
Pity post.
hey derp, protip: if you should happen to find yourself with a devastating comeback, don't overuse it.
Are you not feeling as devastated as you'd like to be, butthole?
used ironically.
I can hardly imagine others have forgotten you being unclear on the concept in several other threads.
you did call me a butthole, but you did also answer to derp.
thanks, derp
