yes in the sense that they have nuch to lose in a civil war and that they and we would all live through this without insurrection. i figured it is worth a pitch at the high level at least.
visualize just trump and biden meeting in an otherwise empty room and having tea while they discuss the finer points of the total consequences to the usa a prospective hot or cold civil war. how could either want that?
i figure that trump has at least some military support as well as considerable loyal republican support. if not, this would probably not work.
i was watching michigan this evening and trying to figure out if and how any democrats could watch these hearings and excuse themselves from culpability of their leaders staging a rigged election. i think there is a poll out in which a decided majority of people on the street believe that the election was stolen from trump. if so, there should be ways to avoid a hot/cold civil war, so long as the leaders can agree and everyone can save face.
maybe as part of the tea meeting, trump can promise biden a pardon as part of the deal. i know it stinks but biden seems to hold a pretty good hand at the moment and he might be tempted to reach for the pot thinking no one is going to object.
trump might not object, but trump is only one person, many people voted, and many people witnessed what happened as we can see and are confirmed in the swing state hearings.
since biden is currently showing a winning hand, then biden presumably would ask for a concession from trump at a tea meeting. the logical concession that trump could make— for the good of the country— is to step aside voluntarily before the inauguration, but ask biden for the same concession.
They don’t think they are going to lose anything.
I think they figure they’ll just clamp down harder on us and we’ll capitulate.
And based on our previous behavior, that would be the logical conclusion for them, but I think they underestimate how pissed people are becoming.
