Yet, Wilentz writes, “many of even the most influential news sources hold to the fiction Trump and his party are waging a presidential campaign instead of a continuing coup, a staggering failure to recognize Trump’s stated agenda.”

Stopping that coup means first winning the election — and then ensuring that local officials certify it.

That means:

    Good luck on the certifications if nothing is done to uproot the traitors he put into positions that handle those. The trunk is rotting, the tree awaits its fall.

        Who do you think got ripped out and replaced with traitor loyalists? The state and local officials. Look at my own state of Arizona. Fake electors still abound.

          I don’t doubt that there are more wannabe traitors in local office; Trump didn’t put them there directly though.

            These ideals and plans originate somewhere related to the GOP. So you’re right, he didn’t directly do it, and after he’s gone this isn’t done.

              Yep. The fundamental problem is that the Republican party has transitioned into a pro-dictatorship party because they’re afraid that nonwhites will have the same freedoms as they do. And that doesn’t go away once Trump is gone.
