A former adjunct professor at George Mason University ignited a backlash on Twitter this week when he argued that Americans need to “actively topple” the government if Donald Trump wins November’s presidential election.
Former George Mason University instructor and academic David A. Walsh came under fire this week for a series of tweets in which he called on Americans to take down the government if President Trump wins reelection next week.
“Here’s the thing: if the worst-case scenario happens next week, Americans don’t need to just “protest.” They need to actively try to topple the government,” Walsh wrote in a tweet.
“Also worth noting that the military has already made it clear that in such a scenario, they’re not going to back Trump,” Walsh added.
Walsh’s faculty profile page is no longer active on George Mason’s website. In a cached version of Walsh’s faculty profile from October 10, he is listed as an adjunct faculty member. His faculty profile claims that he did his dissertation on the “far right and the origins of the American conservative movement.
In a tweet, George Mason Univesity said that Walsh no longer teaches at the university. Moreover, the university wrote that they don’t agree with Walsh’s statements.
“Contrary to earlier reports, @DavidAstinWalsh does not teach for @GeorgeMasonU nor is he a Mason faculty member,” the university wrote in a tweet. “He did teach one class as a part-time instructor last year, but he is no longer an employee of the University. That said, we do not agree with his statement.”

If he means drastically reducing the power of centralized, socialist Fed.gov, then I agree.
He should get the hell out of our country.
It’s a thing. They have their own website: https://www.shutdowndc.org/
Isn’t that treason and insurrection. Inciting riot/war against the government? Why hasn’t he been arrested?
It’s America not Africa
If Biden wins, how about we topple the former professor.
Apparently “democracy” can’t survive elections.
"To begin with, the universities will have to be purged—an ugly word, but an appropriate one in the present context."
This isn’t free speech this is advocating the violent overthrow of the government
This son of a bitch needs to be tried and convicted of treason
And the punishment needs to be more than Guantánamo
Americans toppling the government? What do you think the deep state has been trying to do the last four years?
We will find David Walsh and rip him to pieces no matter what happens!!
“Also worth noting that the military has already made it clear that in such a scenario, they’re not going to back Trump,” Walsh added.”
He is taking LSD! I work with the military and there is no such talk. Only former OBuggery assholes have spoken up!
That’s not the way we do things in Trump’s USA.
Trump wins, you comply and be peaceful.
I think he’d look good with a rope necktie.
Someone needs to post his picture. He is an effeminate soy boy to the max!!
Go Google and see his picture. You will laugh!!
No, it’s almost treason and insurrection.
He still says it in the condition “If X, then revolt.”
He’d have to say “X happened, time to revolt!” And do some substantive step in furtherance of his revolt — like buying ammo and going to DC.
