    Actually it was 64, and he won one of them but it didn’t change any results.

    …of 64 cases across six swing states brought forward by Trump and his supporters, all were lost except for one in Pennsylvania.

    The successful case in Pennsylvania was procedural, not based on fraud, and had too few votes to overturn the state results, according to the report's authors.

    The man who has already attempted a coup

    The man who has proven again and again that he will do just about anything to ensure he doesn't lose the majority he needs to not get impeached

    The man who is a known compulsive cheater

    The man who tried to call people to "find more votes" for him

    The man who blatantly used jerrymandering to secure enough seats to maintain his majority

    The man who knows damn well is in the gutters in the polls and who knows will never win the next election if it is fair.

    You are asking if he is preparing a coup?

    The outcome of the movie Titanic was less predictable than that.

    Trump's logic falls flat on its face, and even the most dimwitted magat can understand this:

    If the US elections are fraudulent, then he won the presidency twice fraudulently.

    Also, you'll notice he's not investigating the 2016 or the 2024 elections.

    Not quite. They think all elections are rigged against them. When they win, they were popular and strong enough to win despite the rigging. When they lose, the enemy was evil enough to pull it off.

    Can't lose logic.

    At this point, to anyone surprised at this idea, I can only roll my eyes.

    He was quoted, recorded on video, saying "You'll never have to vote again."

    He told you exactly this. Morons didn't really think about what that meant. Many of us saw it for exactly what it was.

    The coup, along with other nefarious plans, was prepared a looooonng time ago.

    I'm not an expert but if I had to guess I'd say that the usa is about 60% through being completely overthrown. You've still got time to stop this insanity though.

    The most hilarious, yet tragic, thing is you aren't being overthrown by a hostile foreign country. Or evil genius mastermind.
    You are being taken over by an old dementia riddled pathological liar and narcissist, that paints itself orange who also raped/rapes children and women.

    If I went back to the 90s and wrote a book about a 'rich' hitler loving nepo baby who raped kids becoming president of the us using Russian money, and then taking it over from the inside I would be laughed at. Not one publisher would touch me.
    Hell, even if I got rid of the fat cunts 'greatest' hits of child rape, etc, and just focused on the failed reality TV 'star' and all the casino bankruptcies with the blatant corruption becoming president then no publisher would have touched me. Yet here we are.

    Trump has the backing of multiple countries that want him to fuck the US up. He also has the backing of the overwhelming majority of billionaires.

    This isn't a coup of a reality tv moron....the reality tv moron is being used as a tool by the actual engineers of the coup. Trump isn't smart enough or functional enough to pull off a coup or even conceive of how to do one with outside help. Trump is a functionally illiterate moron of a puppet being propped up by a multi-billion dollar propaganda machine.

    The end boss won't be Trump. I dont mean to minimize the damage he's done, but in the end he's a useful idiot. The work horse that is plowing through systems of protections to plant the seeds of whatever comes after. The bull in the china shop, or even just a developer as he's always been. He's the middle man in the story that is America's shift and collapse/reformation.

    He says and does things to enrich himself and his family but he wont be the power behind the throne.

    I cant say that I dont hate him, but he's just one piece of the machine at work here. He doesn't have the skills or the strength to be a true dictator. He's the tip of the spear that his supporters are using to kill America.

    I would be more worried about who will take over when he's gone, or who's working behind the scenes. It's not one person yet, or at least, history hasn't revealed who that one person is.

    What he is, is a demonstration. Proof that these things can be done with minimal pushback. And a lightening rod for our ire.

    But it will get worse, and it wont be a Trump dynasty.

    He's absolutely going to try to ruin the midterm elections, but almost everyone I know would crawl over broken glass to vote him out.

    At some point, local communities need to start addressing the overreach of this federal government. These are not national elections, they are state elections and the feds have no authority or role in them. trump’s thugs should be ridiculed, doxed, physically confronted, and driven out by local and state authorities.That means cops. That means governors deploying the national guard.

    Of course none of that will ever happen because cops generally don’t actually give a fuck about their community or laws, and governors and the national guard are mostly showboating pussies.

    Sad to say, the coup has already happened. There are remnants of the judiciary holding out but the executive and legislative branches have both caved.

    He already wants his Proud Piddle Boys to also be at polling stations. People who are like "don't give him a reason to try to cancel the election" need to realize he doesn't NEED one to try and do it, that he'll try regardless.

    Can you even imagine how stern the letter from congress will be regarding this very obvious thing the liar-rapist is obviously planning to do? So stern. Shivers down the spine stern. Prepare yourself. So stern.

    "Is he preparing a coup?"

    We've had one coup, yes, but what of another?

  • source
  • [–] 18 points 2 months ago

    Hrs been blatantly preparing a coup the entire time and its just being allowed to happen. Reminds me of when someone is being stalked and blatantly threatened and the cops say that they can't do anything until after the stalker actually physically hurts someone. Trump and his associates have been outright announcing they're going to hostile take over their country and end democracy but apparently nothing can be done until they do it, at which point it may be too late

    Send troops then we'll shoot. Make a new law, we'll ignore it. I don't want to live in a fascist nation. I will do as much as I can to prevent it.

    He tried it once already and was allowed to get away with it. So yes, he will try again.

    Yes, as Iran is clearly not enough, he will need some kind of civil war to prevent the midterms (just as a test) before his family can remain in power for the next 60 years

    Isn't he a bit old for a coup? Seems like the moment he tries he'll get pneumonia or something and die.

    ...preparing? We've been living in a post-coup US since January 6 2021.

    Remember that time when Trump marched his goons on Capitol Hill to attack the US government, then took over the US government?

    Yeah, that's a fucking coup.

    It was a stupid and poorly executed coup, but it ultimately led to the results he was after.

    He’s already the dictator. Any coup would need to be to remove him.
