What would a 2024 Trump coup look like? A new paper offers a worrying answer.

[BidenPresident]

A new paper by an election law specialist seeks to answer this question with a “realistic risk assessment” of the 2024 presidential election. Even if the scenario it outlines is extreme, it deserves attention, because it raises very vexing points about weaknesses in our election system.

Understanding these weaknesses has concrete utility right now. It will help shape Congress’s efforts to shore them up via reform of the Electoral Count Act of 1887, or ECA, which governs how Congress counts presidential electors.

"Here’s the unsettling reality: If the ECA isn’t revised, under certain scenarios, all it would take for a future effort to succeed is a single corrupt GOP governor and a GOP-controlled House of Representatives."

There is a real possibility that things are going to get much worse, before they get better.

Oh for fuck’s sake!!! How in the HELL did you poor little persecuted tender bunny rabbits ever get pResident ‘tater ‘tard in the WH without cheating? If your platform is solid and working for the people, why do you think you’re gonna have trouble going forward?

It’s a natural thing for the party in power to lose seats in the mid-terms, sometimes they lose by a narrow margin, and sometimes it’s an epic ass-kicking. But this time around you assholes seem genuinely scared that you’re gonna lose bad. Why? Scared of the possible investigations and impeachment’s? Scared that they’ll shit can your precious 1/6 kangaroo court? You’re pathetic.

GOP is doubling down on a coup.

GOP is doubling down on a coup.

It is going to get bad.

[BidenPresident]

It is going to get bad.

I think so. As long as Trump is free we are threatened by a violent coup.

[BidenPresident]

It is going to get bad.

I usually hate blaming the media for all of our ills, but I will make one observation.

Biden's press conference was mostly questions about covid and Ukraine. On covid--tough shit, we have to live with it. On Ukraine--who gives a shit.

Yet media (NYtimes, Washington Post) continue to call Biden a failure and daily obsess on polls. To what end? Nothing.

The only cheaters were the Trump voters who got caught committing election fraud in PA and FL.

[PostmodernProphet]

If the ECA isn’t revised

are you afraid you won't get away with cheating twice?.....there is nothing wrong with the electoral college apart from the fact you don't know how to attract the majority of voters in the majority of states......

If your platform is solid and working for the people, why do you think you’re gonna have trouble going forward?

We won't have trouble moving forward unless you throw up more obstacles to voting.

It’s a natural thing for the party in power to lose seats in the mid-terms

Didn't happen in 2002.

Also, you gerrymandered all you could in the 2010's, and now those gerrymandered maps are coming back to bite you in the ass, specifically in states like LA, SC, and AL...where the GOP is going to have to give up a seat so Black people can have representation.

And also, you and your big fat mouth have killed about half a million of your own voters because you convinced them to drink their own piss instead of getting vaccinated.

So who the fuck is going to even VOTE for you Nazis if all your voters are dead from COVID?

[LV426]

But this time around you assholes seem genuinely scared that you’re gonna lose bad. Why? Scared of the possible investigations and impeachment’s?

No, scared of literal Nazis starting a Fourth Reich.

Scared of the possible investigations and impeachment’s?

Telegraphing your playbook before the 2022 elections isn't going to win you control of either chamber.

[LV426]

Scared that they’ll shit can your precious 1/6 kangaroo court? You’re pathetic.

Speaking of 1/6, how come for two straight months, you ran your big, fat mouth about a stolen election, but then didn't go to DC on 1/6 to do anything about it, even after Trump invited you?
