Summary

Donald Trump’s recent rhetoric and actions suggest he may be preparing not just for an election, but for a “slow-motion coup.”

Despite being seen as an electoral liability for Republicans, Trump has primed his followers with narratives of stolen elections and positioned 2024 as an existential battle. This approach parallels far-right populist movements worldwide, where loyalty is signaled through belief in conspiracy theories.

With ongoing lawsuits, targeted claims of “non-citizen” voting, and support from some judicial figures, Trump’s strategy hints at an attempt to disrupt and delegitimize the electoral process if he loses.

    It’s pretty obvious there’s a shitload of Republican leadership fully invested in overthrowing democracy. They can’t win any other way.

    Question is… Do we let them? If we want meaningful reform we need the House/Senate, we need to vote like it’s the last meaningful vote to ever be held in this once great nation, and hopefully prove ourselves wrong in doing so.
