President Donald Trump is not trying to simply undermine President-elect Joe Biden's presidency, nor is he primarily trying to position himself for a 2024 presidential run, as many have suggested. No, Trump's No. 1 goal is to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It's time for Biden and other Democratic leaders to describe his actions in the most forceful and universally understandable language possible. And that means, in this case, calling them part of an attempted coup to illegally overthrow the Biden presidency.
In the past few days, several experts have noted that Trump's actions do not technically constitute a "coup" in the academic sense. According to Michael Albertus, an associate professor of political science at the University of Chicago, for example, a coup "typically connotes a violent takeover of government." Yet these same experts warn that Trump's actions are a threat to our democracy.
Regardless of how you define the word, now is not the time for academic debates. Trump's wildly effective communications strategy proves that sometimes simpler is better. Biden's response, in contrast, has been far too careful and far too polite.
Instead of taking the supposed high road, Biden and other Democratic officials must flood the media - including Fox News - with warnings about Trump's lies. Attempts to remain in power against the will of the people are not business as usual in America - they are more akin to something seen in banana republics.
Biden, as president-elect, must be spending the weeks until Inauguration Day vocally defending our democratic elections against authoritarian attacks from within. By standing up to Trump's attempted coup, Biden will be proving to those millions of Americans who voted freely and fairly for him that they made the right choice.

Bullcrap.
Projection!!
NBC is Comcast is an American enemy more dangerous than Russia or Iran
NBC affiliates must be eliminated They are not free speech voices, they are criminal propaganda purveyors. All the NBC affiliate employees are American enemies including mindless weather reporters. X
They always project what they’re doing. I fully exect and hope I am wromg some Trump people to be arrested before democrat/Dominion people.
Of course they are worried. The election fraud was so massive and so blatant, it cannot be concealed -- even by a thoroughly corrupt media.
Yep,cracks are starting to show in the oligarch’s propaganda mill.
The Left (which includes all of enemedia like NBC) always say exactly the opposite of the TRUTH. Trump’s election WAS/IS an attempted coup ... by Biden/DemonRats.
Soy boy, et al, must be geared up for something today.
They are afraid, IMHO, of what SCOTUS will do. Expect a deafening chorus of “ ACB must recuse herself because Trump appointed her.”
There will be 100,000s of forged signatures on voter rolls and absentee envelopes or there will not be and that is the only thing that will matter.
I HOPE the delay in showing this is just to heighten drama. That would make realty show sense and Texas Hold ‘Em poker sense, get everyone all in before showing the cards.
If it’s a done deal, why hasn’t Kamala resigned her senate seat?
We at NBC have told nothing but LIES for 4 years regarding Trump Russia Collusion,
You can trust us now???
NBC= ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!!
#BidenConcedeNow
aah yes... use what republicans say and simply say the same thing... just like little kids ...
is it possible the FakeNewsMSM could get more Orwellian?
probably.
Did he ever write something like this about the Russian and Ukraine hoaxes?
