Trump doesn't have to threaten a Coup, or anything close to it

He just has to signal that there might be some violent "unrest" and then wait for someone to appease him sufficiently so that he won't push more in that direction.

It worked in the 2016 presidential election. All of Trump's claims that the election would be "rigged" helped make the FBI bend over backwards to avoid giving him any fuel for those claims. They assumed Hillary would win so they thought the prudent course was to go hard on her and soft on Trump in public. It seemed "safest" to head off any "trouble."

Too many in this nation, who actually know better, still handle Trump with kid gloves rather than risk "poking the bear". They think America can ride out his storm without confronting him head on. Two more years, or six more years at most that line of thinking goes, and then we can have our politics/nation/society back.

Denying Trump power now will result in violence, the only question is how much. Crazed individuals can lead to the death of dozens, or hundreds, or even possibly thousands. But they can't take down America, they can't undermine our Constitution on their own. If most responsible Americans of every political stripe stand firm against Trump's intimidation, any and all possible terrorism or even insurrection he may seek to stoke will briefly flare and then be crushed. The real danger is what we may do ourselves to weaken America out of desperation to avoid that possible scenario. ~ Tom Rinaldo

It is like Brexit over here. We are told we can't possibly ask for another referendum because it would 'divide the country' - which is, in fact, totally divided, watching the weird brexiteer minorities posturing and fighting. It is just a threat from a lot of wetlegs.

This must be the new narrative now that all your coup attempts failed. You guys tried, like Brexit, to subvert the will of the people, and failed, miserably.

Brexit in the UK and the rise of right wing thugs in Germany (a real shocker there for ya) highlight the worldwide putsch underway, I remember watching the birth of this putsch shortly after Bush stole office in 2000 - Cheney and his nazi pals started the ball rolling
