“Is the Repubkican party naive, incompetent or part of the coup?”
All of the above in one way or another.
Didn’t we just go through this in the 1860’s with a rouge government in charge of a state or more? The federal govt is not obligated to recognize a state that has been taken over because of illegal actions or a coup. Withhold all federal funds to the state, de-actived, for federal purposes their national guard, remove from the federal charter the governor of FL.
