    trump knows that winning by votes is off the table. he doesn’t care. votes and vice presidents don’t matter when your plan is to take over by force

        his muppets in congress, state legislatures, and trailer parks will be doing everything for him. like before, the only thing trump will do is shout “election fraud” every 5 seconds

          I don’t think it will work. Governors certify the votes, and every swing state except Georgia has a Dem governor. And the governor of Georgia hates Trump.

          Look, I hear what you’re saying. I’m disgusted by the way Trump faced almost no repercussions for January 6th with so much damning evidence against him.

          Last time he literally tried to have his own VP killed by a mob working under his direction while he sat and watched Fox News and refused to respond to the Capitol being attacked.

          Even if he tries that again, Biden will call out the National Guard immediately, and I imagine that they will be prepared for a repeat attack this coming January anyway.

          Things will not go down the same way again.

          Granted.

          But where is their intelligence, counter-intelligence, surveillance, counter-surveillance, 5 eyes, the biggest military-industrial complex, organization, planning, infrastructure, communications, and the thousands of other advantages that the current President and -elect have at their fingertips?

          Not downplaying the threat or likelihood, but if it happens, there’s 0% possibility of them succeeding at anything short of mass suicide.

          Who gives a shit? He’s not an elected official. And even when he was president and attempted the coup, they weren’t successful because of how fucking stupid they are. We have the military on our side this time.
