Game-On for the Coup?
The American Mind ^ | 11/04/20 | Michael Anton

Posted on 11/04/2020 4:02:16 PM PST by PoliticallyShort

Those who ran the operation are also in charge of all the potential investigating agencies. There’s zero chance they will use any of that power to uncover their own malfeasance. Think a Biden Justice Department will look into it? Expect instead a media typhoon of propaganda insisting that the results are all legit, that any anomaly you think you see (or saw) is a “conspiracy theory,” or at any rate innocently explainable by mundane process details too boring to get into. Twitter is already slapping warnings on the accounts of those who point out irregularities. How long before they start outright suspensions? Will it work? That depends on the president and his allies and what they do. The odds and the forces arrayed against them are immense.

What would I have them do? I’m no expert but the crew at Revolver has some good ideas: (1) challenge the late-night “finds” in the courts; (2) hold rallies in contested states; (3) urge GOP officials in close states to expose shenanigans and, if necessary, to refuse to seat Biden electors in the event of a fake count; (4) mount a campaign to marshal grassroots public opinion in the president’s favor. Convince the people that if in fact the election is in the process of being stolen, the president and his allies are going to fight the steal on their behalf. If middle America wants to prevent this election from being stolen, it will have to be willing to act—now. I know they are willing, but they need to hear from the President and his best surrogates. I’d get Trump on Tucker, tonight, to explain his plan. But in another sense, the Democrats’ plan won’t “work.” Even if the steal can be made to stick, half the country won’t accept it. That is, they’ll accept the reality that power is now in the hands of a party that took it by fraud. But they won’t believe that the election was fair or the outcome real. They will believe, or be confirmed in a belief that’s been brewing for a long time, that the system is rigged, the process is fake, the ruling class are liars, the government is illegitimate, and that they themselves are subjects and not citizens—anything but a free people with a say over its own destiny.

If the ruling class can get away with this, they will be able to get away with anything. And they will know it. The irony will be that those who, over the last four years, have bleated the loudest about “our democracy” will have been most responsible for killing it off.

If this is stolen, it will be remembered as the end of the US.

They are planning 10s of trillions in spending.

Kids in schools will be taught stuff that makes transgenders pale by comparison.

Military back down the hole.

Sell out to China.

Christianity will be HATED.

And there will be no reason to vote anymore.

So yeah this is all of it on the line.

Whatever Trump says to do, I’m with him

Stolen or not, a Democrat administration will not be compatible with American values.

This is Tree of Liberty stuff even if Trump loses fairly.

The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

However, it is not clear to me how even force of arms would be able to reset to a Constitutional Republic.

All true and unbearable to tolerate for any patriotic American (us).

And the suburban women voters and others who didn’t like Trump’s tweets, his harsh name calling and his hair: How do you like Communism and loss of all your freedom and safety? Hmmmmmm?

Now you and the uneducated college grads who said “Let’s give Socialism a try for a while like they did in those Scandinavian places over there.” Except they aren’t really Socialist there and the Dems will bring in the Chinese and Venezuelan aspects that brought millions to imprisonment, forced labor camps and death. See how tolerant “of the thought you hate”* the Squad and Pelosi will be.

They’re so used to American freedom here they took it for granted as a birthright. They’ll soon find out it isn’t.

Did anyone get Pelosi’s claim the other day that Amy Coney Barrett is an “illegitimate justice”. They will do all they can to remove her, another part of the coup.

“If this is stolen, it will be remembered as the end of the US.”

Trump is our last legally elected President. The United States has fallen from within.

“Think a Biden Justice Department will look into it?”

Will barr stop sucking his bagpipes long enough to do anything about it?

The Democrats’ careless abuse of the electoral process is guaranteeing a much less pleasant strongman than Trump will emerge in the future and put down their neo-Bolshevik revolution. And that strongman will not be accountable to Republican voters, either, and the USA will have a real problem.

Worse, I just retired and my savings will either evaporate or be stolen. I will NOT be a ward of the state subject to elimination.

I am ready to take orders from General Trump. He will be our leader out of office. We will resist everything they will try to force us to do. In all categories: further lockdowns,and anything scamdemic-related: a big big one is that the feckless governors and Mayors that oversaw the destruction of their cities were expecting perhaps to shame Trump and the American taxpayer to bail them out and physically rebuild them, and make them whole again, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. It was also re-establish the political credibility of people like Cuomo and DeBlasio.Trump was not about to do this. With Biden it will be a shoo-in, or so they think ...this is where out first legitimate National Tax Revolt comes in-—such obvious and clear grounds for a tax revolt it’s already assumed a beautiful shape in my mind. Any ideas? What else can we do to say NO!What else, and what other issues can we marshall for our Great Refusal?

it’s not a coup just against Trump - look at the hatred in both these articles published today, both dogwhistles labeling white folks a ‘minority’ and both demonizing Trump supporters specifically and Republicans in general. There won’t be any ‘unity’ to a Biden/Harris reign. Our foreign enemies will be energized:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/millions-of-white-voters-are-once-again-showing-who-they-are/ar-BB1aHnXW?ocid=msedgntp

and then you have the attempt to disband the Electoral College, going for a popular vote that would disenfranchise those who work for a living out in the country over urban gimmedats that outnumber them:

Why should anyone be surprised after a sham impeachment and the deliberate destruction of millions of American jobs and Trillions in personal wealth ...

Barr: Fat but invisible-—think about the last time you saw him? When was that? Obviously, a Deep Stater.

any anomaly you think you see (or saw) is a “conspiracy theory,”

Anyway, it's been debunked in advance.
