IT'S A COUP.

It’s a coup.

I have a quarter century of election observations to rely on. This is not "setting the stage for a coup". That phrase is stupid and meaningless. I have never, ever, seen someone "set the stage" and then stop. Setting the stage is, in fact, THE OPENING ACT OF THE COUP.

The coup is not yet complete. It may still be foiled. But if you lie to yourself and others about what's going on, you are choosing a fantasy.

THE COUP IS UNDERWAY.

I cannot possibly emphasize this enough.

Just a reminder that trump is the only president in recent memory that failed to run a fair election. I wonder if his supporters think that he'll do a better job second time round 😬

Sorry. I can already feel your temperature rising from the incorrectness of my comment above. Lmk if you'd like me to delete it.

I don't mind jokes, and as far as I'm concerned even jokes that fall flat are safe. (You have to give people the freedom to try, even if they fail.) I mind when people try to pass jokes off as fact, but you're not doing that here, so. *shrug*

But yeah, it should be noted the 2020 election was fair.

I keep seeing remarks like "the coup is not complete" and "may still be foiled." Nobody includes the crucial information of by whom and how it may be foiled. Other than calling elected representatives and preparing to flee, what can I do?
