This was an orchestrated coup with numerous conspirators. Plain and simple.

So this communist is responsible for not one but TWO of the most destructive things to happen in the United States in our lifetimes, if not ever.

Obamacare and the outright theft of an election and possible beginning of a civil war.

Here’s Norm’s “democracy playbook”

https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/The-Democracy-Playbook_Preventing-and-Reversing-Democratic-Backsliding.pdf

All the lunacy we’ve been seeing from the DNC for the past 2 years is all right here -

BLM and AntiFa
“Bunce and Wolchik outline the “electoral model,” a set of electoral strategies for opposition campaigns against authoritarians.68 To implement the model, pro-democracy political
opposition must practice long-term planning, as well as pay close attention to detail, coordination, and lessons learned from past failures. Perhaps most importantly, pro-democracy
parties must pursue an overarching process through which they form transnational networks
between civil society groups, other opposition groups, local electoral activists, international
organizations, and nations striving to promote democracy”

Removal of winner take all elections to “partial votes” because that helps “democracy coalition groups”
“Of course, coalition formation can be excruciatingly difficult, especially in contexts where illiberal
leaders have engineered or exploited divisions. Voters also face difficulties with this approach,
as strategic voting may point them toward candidates whose views they find unpalatable. As
Jan-Werner Müller argues, one way out of this political dilemma is the use of referenda.72 With
their binary yes-or-no structure and potential to craft pointed questions that reflect unity among
opposition parties, referenda offer an opportunity to citizens to decisively communicate their
aversion to a populist government. While not possible in all contexts, such exercises of direct
democracy could serve as alternatives to coalition formation when the latter is beyond reach. “

To corporate collusion
“Corporations should also avoid providing a veneer of legitimacy to illiberal leaders, and instead
ensure that investment decisions are informed, principled, and sensitive to the country context. For example, Hungary’s Orbán has encouraged the continued investment of the German
car companies such as Audi and Daimler in the country, granting them tax reductions, subsidies, and access to decisionmakers.196 In return, he has used their support to legitimize his
economic policies, which contributes to his continued grip on power. Such companies should,
as Thorsten Benner has argued, disinvest from the Hungarian economy, and demonstrate
their support for the liberal democratic institutions that Orbán is working to dismantle.
Companies can act in support of the elements of democratic systems by engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR). As defined by the UN Industrial Development Organization,
CSR is “a management concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders.”197 The principles of
CSR can help promote transparency, corporate accountability, and sustainable development,
and help businesses keep in mind the long-term democratic health of their society.198 CSR can
include donations, employee volunteering, and pro bono work for civil society organizations.199
Within the framework of CSR, companies can also work to defend established standards and
regulations that can counter democratic backsliding, and can themselves propose their own
policies that promote and protect democratic values, even when the state itself rolls back
such protections.”

Norm Eisen goes hand in hand with American Oversight’s and CREW’s Melanie Sloan, a former staffer of Biden and Schumer.

Remember the Gerald Walpin affair? Republican Sen. Charles Grassley does.

Walpin was the inspector general of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the organization that runs the AmeriCorps service program. In June 2009, Walpin received a call from Norman Eisen, who was then the Special Counsel to the President for Ethics and Government Reform. Eisen told Walpin he had an hour to either resign or be fired.

Eisen’s call appeared to violate the 2008 Inspectors General Reform Act, which is designed to protect inspectors general from political interference. The Act requires the president to give Congress 30 days’ notice, plus an explanation of cause, before firing an inspector general. In Walpin’s case, the White House did neither

BARACK OBAMA HIMSELF was behind efforts to remove Trump from office. He and Nosey Joe knew about the unconstitutional wiretaps on the Trump campaign.

Bear in mind this is from Norman Eisen, a guy linked through his group CREW to the antisemitic former superdooper secret deep cover CIA agent Valerie Plame who tried to win an election in New Mexico before fizzling. She is a Global Zero unilateral nuclear disarmament dork and the former wife of the late Ambassador Joe Wilson of Niger yellowcake fame:

Washington Post: Denying Election Results Is like Denying Holocaust
12/25/2020, 6:33:05 PM · by E. Pluribus Unum · 72 replies
Breitbart ^ | 25 Dec 2020 | Joshua Klein
In a Washington Post editorial published Wednesday, authors Deborah E. Lipstadt and Norman Eisen argue for the radical comparison of challenging recent election results with denying that a Nazi Holocaust, the “best-documented genocide in the world,” ever occurred. The essay, titled “Denying the Holocaust threatens democracy. So does denying the election results,” makes several comparisons while suggesting how to combat such “denial.” Claiming to have “learned the hard way” to take Holocaust denial seriously, the authors state they have “watched with alarm the birth of another powerful disinformation mythology,” referring to the “false conviction pushed by Trump and his enablers”...

That’s the biggest dog’s breakfast of an article I’ve ever read.

I still have no clue what a “color revolution” is.
