Riot and protest instigators plan to “make sure Trump leaves the White House” by any means necessary after the Nov. 3 election, according to website posts from the group Shut Down DC and their allies. “[W]e’re making plans to be in the streets before the polls even close, ready to adapt and respond to whatever comes our way,” the group says on its website currently.
“Trump has shown that he will stop at nothing to maintain his grip on power. Trump will not leave office without mass mobilization and direct action,” an Oct. 13 version of the same web page reads, according to Internet Archive records.
The group linked to protests at the homes of Trump administration officials tells its DC-area supporters to “Come to Black Lives Matter Plaza” on election night “to create serious disruption if Trump really tries to steal the election!” Black Lives Matter Plaza is the site of repeated anti-Trump summer rioting and defacement of the historic Saint John’s Church one block away from the White House.
On the page, Shut Down DC sketches out its plans for election night and immediately following. On Nov. 4-7, the group says it plans to “do whatever it takes”:
In the days following the election we’ll continue to come out into the streets every day to respond to rapidly changing events. We may be waiting for votes to be counted or we may be responding to major attacks on democracy. Over the next few weeks we’ll use our Spokes Council process to plan actions that are flexible and can scale to respond to a lot of different scenarios.
Then, on Nov. 8-11, the group’s plan is to meet members of Congress returning to Washington DC for the lame-duck session. “If Trump is trying to launch a coup, that’s no time for business as usual. We’ll meet them at the train station or the airports or if they drive into town we can meet them at their homes,” the website says.
A slide deck posted on the group’s website from an “organizing call” claims this group is working in concert with leftist groups around the nation to prepare for President Trump to “steal the election” and attempt a “coup.” The slides pinpoint now as the time these groups are “gathering gear” to respond.
The post-election plan of action links to the group’s advice about taking “appropriate precautions” for security. This includes forming “affinity groups” “that will go into more detail and possibly engage in higher risk actions.”
“Keep in mind that not everyone needs to know every detail of your plans,” says the post-election plan about “taking appropriate precautions.” “We don’t! Feel free to only share what people outside your [affinity group] need to know, and keep the specific action details close to the vest.”
What kinds of actions these might be are stated in a “Strategic framework for action following the 2020 election” that sketches out their plans for rioting and attacking American institutions and life until Biden is installed as president. It claims if Trump declares victory that will mark “the start of the coup.”
“At some point in the days following the election Trump will almost certainly either attempt to declare outright victory or attempt to invalidate the results of the election. That is the start of the coup,” it claims. “…Trump can only seize power if the world believes that he has the power. That’s why we’re starting this phase of the election in the streets… We need to show that we’re ungovernable under a continued Trump administration…That can mean blocking traffic at major intersections and bridges, shutting down government office buildings (why should ICE or the FBI be able to keep doing Trump’s bidding when he’s leading with a coup?!?), or blockading the White House.”
The document bases its action plan upon the scenarios projected by the establishment leftist “Transition Integrity Project” for election night and sketches these activists’ response to each, explicitly rejecting the possibility that Trump could legitimately win. It continues:
We’ll keep it going until Trump concedes. We could be in the streets throughout the fall and into the winter– maybe as lots of rolling waves of action or possibly as a few major tsunamis! In other parts of the country, as vote counts conclude, our focus will turn from protecting the vote counts to themselves being ungovernable.
As it becomes clear that Trump’s coup is failing, institutions and the elites will start to abandon him – or we will approach them as part of the problem. Either Amazon will shut down AWS for the Trump loyalists in the government or we’ll shut down their fulfillment centers. Either governors will tell their national guards to stand down or we’ll shut down their state capitals as well. Over time, Trump will grow increasingly isolated and his empire will crumble down around him.
Then — and this is the important part — Biden will move into the White House and be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.
On its Facebook page, the group recently posted a picture of a mob arriving at Sen. Lindsey Graham’s house at 6 a.m. to harass him for following the Constitution. In the picture, one protest sign reads, “We can’t sleep so neither should Lindsey.”
“Preventing Donald Trump from stealing the election and remaining in office is likely to take mass, sustained disruptive movements all over the country,” the group’s website posted on Oct. 7.
“Puting [sic] pressure on the media and social media agencies to refuse to declare a victor, resisting demands to call the vote in forvor [sic] of Trump, physically protecting the vote count from counter-protestors, federal agents, or white supremacist militias are all potential actions in this moment,” says the group’s “Disruption Guide for 2020.” The guide, a Google document, had 61 viewers at the moment it was reviewed for The Federalist.
I would think so.
Including getting more electoral votes than Biden.
Agreed, invoke the "Insurrection Act".
Not so much! With Wray in charge of the FBI, there has probably been no intelligence gathered on these nuts. So the only ones to be locked up are the suckers that were stupid enough to hit the streets. The "central committee" will likely go untouched.
The Democrats know they’re going to lose and they’re planning their violent tantrums when he wins.
Too funny!
Sounds like a good opportunity to pare out the government dead wood.
It qualifies as filling the void left by patriots who don’t take to the streets. Gotta admire their tactics.
If anything is tried after a Trump victory, butt kickings will be dispensed as needed.
Sedition: Overt conduct such as speech and organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order, inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state.
They will be all over trying to block people (Trump voters) getting to the polls.
Oh BS... No need to call out the National Guard, we have a Militia (look it up) and events like this is better taken care of by Militia. Believe me, there is a large militia, and they are waiting to take out the trash.
Wray is part of that Central Committee.
I shouldn't, but I hope they bring their insanity to the suburbs. The McClowskis are nothing to what many will be facing.
Yes, I know everyone is locked and loaded and that the anarchists won't have as much weaponry or training.
However, once they head to your neighborhood, I hope you have either armed roaming patrols or roof top sighting for Molotov Cocktails. That's where the real danger lies. The now enemy doesn't need high powered weapons. A MolCoc in your window in the night while asleep is almost unpreventable, unless sighted around the clock by roof snipers. Think about it and talk to your neighbors about defensive measures.
It's coming, since they have been given so much free reign in so many cities. Then, I could be wrong since they are just cowards of opportunity.
Wish I had a gun, but since I did a sell-back, I will call the police.
The level of absolute contempt I have for these people has no limit on its depth.
Unfortunately, I have a close relation who is one of these “Resistance” people. I only know because he sent me an email by accident.
I am not going to let it ruin my relationship, but...this is a difficult thing when I feel that they should all be arrested and tried for sedition.
Well OK, that means there’ll be fewer of them around to vote in 2022 and 2024.
And the FBI says right-wing extremist groups are the biggest threat.
It would seem that along with a Trump landslide, we will be presented with a target-rich environment.
“They will be all over trying to block people (Trump voters) getting to the polls.”
That will not be a good thing where I live
They will use the liberal infiltrated FBI on the militia.
Good, I’m looking forward to that.
