And it's not really that stealth. In many states, they're actively switching voting rules & decisions from Governor's offices to state legislatures, which they're populating w/ "Big Lie" zealots. They're also putting into place restrictive voting measures pretty much everywhere they can.
Make no mistake about this: the idea here is simple...Trump hit a wall in all of the swing states this past election when he tried to get counts stopped, votes discarded, and results overturned after the fact. He's making sure that next time, he has loyalists in place as the decision-makers in each state, so they'll do whatever he wants. He could lose the national election handily & his minions will work with him to "find the votes."
This is all happening right now, right in front of us & in broad daylight. It's a relatively quiet, slow-moving coup - and it could end the republic.
That's not melodramatic or TDS. People need to wake up here.
Stop the steal.
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

"We're not a democracy" has already become a right-wing talking point since last year.
I have no doubt that if they succeed in a coup & this turns into an autocracy, they'll gloss over it & say things like "elections weren't really working anyway...this is better."

Apparently the vote has reached the point where the winner is the guy that cheated the most.
Cry me river's.
How far over the edge does it have to go before you see the doom?
The time to address the strong effort to subvert democracy is now. Now is the time when all of these measures and personnel changes are happening - not in 2024.
If you don't want to be part of the discussion on how to counter those efforts, that's cool. But your comments here aren't doing much either way.
