The Trump Campaign Is Reportedly Plotting an Election Coup to “Bypass” a Biden Win. This plot, if executed, would almost certainly start an armed rebellion.

I believe it but sadly our Democratic leaders will not be able to do anything. Trump and his machinery have always outsmarted Democrats in every step. That is sad.

Ask not what the enemy will do, ask how our leaders will lead us.

Yes. But "outsmarting" is one thing. But taking the higher road with ethics, honesty, and competence is quite another.

@mischl
I like honesty and competence but will that give us the White House?

@St-Sinner There seems to be so little appreciation of honesty in our culture. I've often said, "An honest man can NOT get elected in this country." It seems you have to tell people what they want to hear. However, there are a few of us who REALLY appreciate honesty. Right now, I'd settle for somebody who is at least decent.

@mischl

Culture and Presidential Politics are two different things. What is taught in schools does not work in politics. I hope you know that.

If that was not the case. Trump would not be president for whom many moderates and some Democrats crossing over..... voted.

Being an idealist in the real world had its disadvantages. Pragmatic will work.

This sounds a bit over the top. I seriously don't think such a thing will happen. Wouldn't this amount to treason anyhow? If so, the president could be arrested. Otherwise, this would amount to complete upheaval of our how our federal and state governments function. It would be so completely unpredictable and unprecedented in the U.S. and I don't think trump has the guts or intellect to orchestrate a coup of our government nor does he have the backing to do so. If he tried this, the majority of Congress would turn against him, because why would a dictator need a Congress that was created as a means to balance power within our government.

So far, Congressional & Senate Republicans have gone right down into the rabbit hole with Trump.

This is an attempt to bypass the electoral college. It could be successful with a close electoral win for Biden. If he gets 300 electoral votes, this won't be successful and could lead to the end of the electoral college at some future date. This is frightening.
