Do you honestly believe the rich elite, investment bankers, stock brokers, hedge fund managers, CXO’s of major corporations, and their minions who are at the top of the existing power system will grab arms and fight against… literally no one…? No one at the top of the power pyramid cares one iota about these feelings of cultural insecurities. It’s all an illusion to control you. They are just feeding you these ideas to pull the wool over your eyes as they scrape your 401k and eat your life savings.
There was Zero chance of overturning the election. So I do take issue with any threat being "serious".
Trump and his team were quite serious in their motivation to keep him in power, IMO. We were just lucky that they were just downright "silly" in their degree of competence compared to the guardrails in place. I would very much prefer that Rump and his ilk never get another chance to apply what they may have learned from their first attempt mistakes.
No one that isn't far left or far right thinks that there was anymore than zero chance that trump could overturn the election. There was never a "real" threat.
The real threat is that Trump would have overturned the election if he could. The fact that he "couldn't" seems pretty irrelevant given that he's the likely Republican nominee for the 2024 election. He only had 2ish months to undermine the democratic election in 2020. If he somehow wins reelection, he'd have 4 years to plan for another attempt.
They threw as much sh*t as possible on the wall hoping that something would stick. Fortunately they failed although they could have created a constitutional crisis if Pence had gone along with the strategy of refusing to certify the results of the Electoral College. Same with the fake electors or if the swing state election officials contacted by Trump went along with his scheme to conduct additional recounts or as he put it "to find votes".
So? He wasn't eligible to be president after the 2020 election either because he lost a fair election. It didn't stop him from trying.
How long was Hillary’s sentence for screeching loud and long about the way 2016 was stolen and Trump being an “illegitimate president” ?
I questioned whether this overturning the election crap could've happened. It wasn't ever going to happen. So there wasn't a SERIOUS threat. Not complicated.
For those of you who think the Democrats wouldn’t try something similar in 2024 should Trump win, think about the Voting Rights Act they tried to pass, nationalizing elections. Thank god that failed. The indictments. All the changes they got away with in the 2020 election that they won’t get away with in 2024 because 19 states passed new voting law legislation. You think if Trump narrowly wins in 2024, Biden and the Dems are going to bow out gracefully? Wake up.
If Pence had done what Trump told him, it could have played out differently. I suppose it would have wound up in the Supreme Court, and I don't think the Court would have gone along with it. But those willing to go through the plan were apparently willing to take the shot, especially after Trump put three new Justices on the Court and changed the balance.
Where did I say that? I said it wasn't a serious threat. That's it. Why are you so bent out of shape? No one thought it was credible but the far left. If that includes you well that's your problem.
LOL. But that never came close to happening. Do you want me to make some wild outlandish what/if's? You would rightly say that isn't a serious threat. This isn't complicated. Only the far left thinks this was a serious threat.
If it's a close race, there will be investigations and perhaps lawsuits. I disagree that trying to enact legislation (on either side) is analogous to what's alleged in this indictment.
