Game-On for the Coup?

This guy Michael Anton is great and predicted the shenanigans on Election Night even though he was more relaying what the Leftists were saying rather than having some magic crystal ball and now he has a follow up piece that's worth your time.

Game-On for the Coup?

 

It will all go according to plan—unless we stop it.
Strictly speaking, a coup is an illegitimate change of government by violent means. But what if you can do it without violence? To win without fighting is best, Sun Tzu says. An ostensibly (“mostly”) peaceful ouster from power is preferable to the use of force because it can much more easily be sold as “our democracy” at work.

National polls consistently predicted a huge Biden blowout. That they were wrong (again) is demonstrated by the facts that (a) the 2020 popular vote is, so far (California is not fully counted), a mere two-point spread, hardly a blowout; (b) Trump got a higher share of the vote than last time; and (C) Trump received far more total votes than last time.

But it’s the swing states that matter. Here (again) Trump was supposed to lose—if not necessarily bigly in every case, at least widely.

But throughout the day, the president consistently outperformed the polls. He crushed his 2016 performance in Florida. He also outperformed in Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas. Senators he was supposed to drag down with him, including Joni Ernst, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell, won handily. Even Susan Collins, who was supposed to be sure goner and lose by at least three, won by nine. A party that was “certain” to lose the Senate has kept it and gained (so far) six seats in the House.

Looking at states no one expected Trump to lose, his overperformance is even more stark. The polling average for West Virginia was Trump +17; he won it by 39. Kansas was estimated at +9; the result was +15.

Throughout the day the president was also outperforming his expected result in key states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He even, for a time, looked like he was within striking distance in Virginia, a state Hillary Clinton won by five points in 2016. At one point the New York Times’s “meter” had Trump’s chances in North Carolina at 92%. The needle was also sliding in the president’s direction in Arizona and Georgia, among others.

And then, suddenly, the counting stopped in at least five states (or parts of states): Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin; all but one with a Democratic governor (coincidence, surely!). When has that ever happened? Well, it happened in Broward County, Florida, in 2018, when a dodgy Democratic election official appeared to be intervening, illicitly, on her party’s behalf. The process only got back underway when the state’s (Republican) governor intervened and had her removed from the process.

But getting back to last night, some time in the wee hours, additional ballots were “found” and added to early totals which had Trump ahead. To no one’s surprise, those votes were overwhelmingly—literally as much as 100% in some batches—for Biden. According to Nate Silver, no one’s idea of a Trumpist, one tranche of 23,277 votes that turned up in Philadelphia were “all for Biden.” Absent some kind of harvesting or fraud (or both), that’s a logical and statistical impossibility.

Through the night, all such ballots came from heavily Democratic areas posting unusually, improbably high turnout. 85% in Milwaukee? A city that turned out at only 61% in 2016, and even with Obama on the ballot in 2012, at 71%? But 85% for Sleepy Joe? According to one report, seven Milwaukee precincts returned more presidential votes than they have registered voters. Turnout in Wisconsin overall is alleged to have been 89.25%, more than five standard deviations for the state’s mean turnout since 1960—another statistical impossibility.

One might also wonder why this urban Blue wave materialized only in close states. Milwaukee was way up but not Cleveland? Philly but not St. Louis? Granted Ohio and Missouri are Red, but their big cities aren’t.

How It’s Done

We’ve seen this movie before. This is how they beat Scott Walker in Wisconsin in 2018, Tom Foley in Connecticut in 2010, and Norm Coleman in Minnesota in 2008.

Why stop the count? Because that’s the only way to know how many votes you need to “win.” Sure, you can just brute force things by backing up a truck full of ballots. But that looks bad. You might even end up counting more votes than there are registered voters in the state. Better to eke out a narrow win. As Joseph Kennedy, Sr. allegedly said to his second son, “I’m not paying for a landslide.”

Speaking of the Kennedys, veteran political observer Theodore H. White—in their company on election night 1960—explained how it’s done.

In Illinois, the race came down to downstate (Republican) versus Cook County (Democratic), and the bosses, holding back totals from key precincts, were playing out their concealed cards under pressure of publicity as in a giant game of blackjack….

The AP ticker chattered its keys once more and reported: “With all downstate precincts now reported in, and only Cook County precincts unreported, Richard Nixon has surged into the lead by 3,000 votes.”

I was dismayed, for if Nixon really carried Illinois, the game was all but over. And at this point I was jabbed from dismay by the outburst of jubilation from young Dick Donahue, who yelped, “He’s got them! Daley made them go first! He’s still holding back—watch him play his hand now.” I was baffled, they were elated. But they knew the counting game better than I, and as if in response to Donahue’s yelp, the ticker, having stuttered along for several minutes with other results, announced: “With the last precincts of Cook County now in, Senator Kennedy has won a lead of 8,000 votes to carry Illinois’s 27 electoral votes.”

Later that evening, Kennedy told his friend Ben Bradlee of an early call from Daley, when all seemed in doubt. “With a little bit of luck and the help of a few close friends,” Daley had assured Kennedy before the AP had pushed out the count, “you’re going to carry Illinois.”

Is that what happened last night? Sure looks like it. Plus ça change.

To say nothing of other considerations, it’s hard to believe that an eight-point win in Ohio would be coupled with losses throughout the rest of the upper Midwest, or that historically deep purple Florida would go strongly for Trump while Georgia and North Carolina would not. Are those states really so unrepresentative of the American electorate?

Stop the Steal

The thing could (but will never) be proved. Those who ran the operation are also in charge of all the potential investigating agencies. There’s zero chance they will use any of that power to uncover their own malfeasance. Think a Biden Justice Department will look into it?

Expect instead a media typhoon of propaganda insisting that the results are all legit, that any anomaly you think you see (or saw) is a “conspiracy theory,” or at any rate innocently explainable by mundane process details too boring to get into. Twitter is already slapping warnings on the accounts of those who point out irregularities. How long before they start outright suspensions?

Will it work? That depends on the president and his allies and what they do. The odds and the forces arrayed against them are immense.

What would I have them do? I’m no expert but the crew at Revolver has some good ideas: (1) challenge the late-night “finds” in the courts; (2) hold rallies in contested states; (3) urge GOP officials in close states to expose shenanigans and, if necessary, to refuse to seat Biden electors in the event of a fake count; (4) mount a campaign to marshal grassroots public opinion in the president’s favor. Convince the people that if in fact the election is in the process of being stolen, the president and his allies are going to fight the steal on their behalf. If middle America wants to prevent this election from being stolen, it will have to be willing to act—now. I know they are willing, but they need to hear from the President and his best surrogates. I’d get Trump on Tucker, tonight, to explain his plan.

But in another sense, the Democrats’ plan won’t “work.” Even if the steal can be made to stick, half the country won’t accept it. That is, they’ll accept the reality that power is now in the hands of a party that took it by fraud. But they won’t believe that the election was fair or the outcome real. They will believe, or be confirmed in a belief that’s been brewing for a long time, that the system is rigged, the process is fake, the ruling class are liars, the government is illegitimate, and that they themselves are subjects and not citizens—anything but a free people with a say over its own destiny. If the ruling class can get away with this, they will be able to get away with anything. And they will know it.

The irony will be that those who, over the last four years, have bleated the loudest about “our democracy” will have been most responsible for killing it off.

Replacing Mark Esper, Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller activates special operations forces to report directly to him

 

For those who are reluctant to recognize the actions taking place to defend America against both foreign and domestic enemies, a massive change was just put in place at the Department of Defense that proves some additional clues about what’s going down.

Special Operations forces have now been restructured to report directly to Defense Secretary Chris Miller, who replaced swamp creature Mark Esper, recently fired by Trump. The term “special operations forces” usually includes special forces from the Army (Rangers, Delta, etc.) and Navy (SEALs), and likely encompasses many tens of thousands of highly-trained, elite troops. (The exact count is not public information.)

Chris Miller, who previously served as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, described the changes as “tectonic” and as being pursued to “combat transnational threats.”

But he also said something even more interesting:

At the 6:29 time mark, Miller says: (emphasis added)

At the same time, should any maligned actors underestimate our resolve or attempt to undermine our efforts, we will not hesitate to restore deterrents and defeat any and all threats.

As we implement the President’s orders, we also recognize that transitions and campaigns are fraught with risk and unexpected challenges and opportunities. That is why I am here today to announce that I have directed the special operations civilian leadership to report directly to me instead of through the current bureaucrat channels. This historic step finalizes what Congress has authorized and directed and will put Special Operations Command on par with the military services for the first time.

He specifically invoked “transitions and campaigns,” and although the word “campaign” typically refers to a military campaign, paired with the term “transitions,” this now seemingly refers to Presidential transitions and political campaigns.

This appears to be a dog whistle to other patriots throughout the DoD, broadcasting the fact that patriots are now in charge at the DoD, and they now directly command U.S. special forces assets. In other words, those assets have just been removed from the control of the deep state swamp bureaucrats that haunt the halls of the Pentagon, rubbing elbows with John Bolton and other swamp slugs in the hope of starting more wars.

Special Forces assets are now being deployed to take down America’s domestic enemies and traitors

Now, many dots are beginning to be connected here, with unconfirmed rumors circulating over the last few days that U.S. Special Forces teams have already arrested certain high-level Democrat and deep state traitors who are behind the recent foreign election interference in the U.S. elections via the Dominion and Scytl voting systems, both of which were rigged to produce a Joe Biden “victory.”

I cover more details about this in my Nov. 16th Daily News Update podcast.

According to recent rumors, U.S. forces raided a server farm in Frankfurt, Germany, taking possession of server data that proves the massive election fraud that was carried out. This means efforts are already under way to gather all the evidence needed to prove treason on the part of those who attempted to steal the election and overthrow the United States government.

Attorney Sidney Powell explains some of what went down on November 3rd during the left-wing election steal in America:

 

The coordinated election rigging that took place — using technology from Venezuela, servers from Germany and money from Communist China — is of course an act of international warfare against the United States government. All those engaged in these acts are, in fact, enemy combatants even if they are U.S. citizens or lawmakers. They can be arrested by U.S. military personnel, relocated to black sites like GITMO, and interrogated or prosecuted under wartime military law.

Some observers say this process has already begun. This is what we think Sidney Powell meant when she said, “The Kraken was already released several days ago.”

In this emergency podcast update from 24 hours ago, I explain in great detail why it is credible that U.S. military forces have been activated to defend the United States of America against a foreign-instigated election rigging attempt that tried to illegally install Joe Biden as President.

Perhaps this is why Lin Wood says that Joe Biden “and people like him” are going to jail.

Video taped confessions are likely being recorded right this very minute.

Trump doesn’t need the entire DoD to pull this off, you see, and he doesn’t need the DOJ. He doesn’t need police or the National Guard, either. He has command over the many tens of thousands of special forces operators and patriots who have sworn an oath to defend the Unite States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. President Trump is finally giving those patriot boys a chance to make good on that oath.

This morning brings news of a recount defeat in Georgia. 

I'm not going to lie to you. It don't look good.  The attempt to overturn the election without the use of violence and martial-law decrees don't look good at all for our Donald.  

It's a pity. It really is.  Donald had so much going for him, but he lost. He lost bigly. He's a one-term flop. A failure, if you will. He was trounced by a senile old geezer name of Sleepy Joe Biden who held faux rallies with four or five people snoozing in their cars as they listened to him drone on about who knows what. (Maybe screwy crazy stuff like global warming being caused by humans. Geez, can you believe it?) 

This is an indication of just how badly and how horribly Donald performed.  And how horribly he failed and now has an "F" for failure branded on his forehead. (I'm trying to say this in as nice a way as I can so I don't offend any of Donald's remaining fans here, but it's not easy without using the "f" word. The "f" that stands for "failure" or "flop," if you prefer. Either word is frankly painful, but it's also quite true. 

How did Donald's electoral shellacking happen?  How could it have happened? I think it'll be something that we'll all be thinking about for years to come. But hopefully we won't lose sleep over it or live with a lot of bitterness and regret within us that'll eat away at us like cancer. That is the hope. 

I know that it's easy to point the finger of blame at all of us who love and worship dear Donald because we didn't try hard enough to support him or cast enough votes. And also his staff, including some never-Trumpers that he accidentally hired, should share in the blame.

But I also wonder about this. Just who is the primary person who should be blamed for this humiliating defeat?  I've been thinking and thinking about this, and I know my fellow Donald fans, who are incredibly intelligent and even intellectual and know things-- lots of things that others don't know, like about elaborate evil left-wing conspiracies, e.g. -- and I've come upon the following theory. It may be hard to swallow, but maybe it's true. Maybe the main reason that Donald lost the election is that he ran a shitty sort of campaign and is kind of shitty and corrupt and narcissistic and incompetent and treasonous and other taboo words I wouldn't like to use.

I don't know. Maybe my theory is crazy. Please, fellow Donald fans and other assorted well-bred goobers, I need reassurance. Tell me that it wasn't mostly Donald's fault. It just couldn't be, could it?

Good moves. His only hope is the military because the DOJ, FBI, and CIA aren't going to do shit as evident by their dual justice standards where the Democrats get away with major crimes and Republicans are investigated for made up ones.

too bad they arent going to go for it.

Top general says no role for military in presidential vote

 

WASHINGTON — The U.S. armed forces will have no role in carrying out the election process or resolving a disputed vote, the top U.S. military officer told Congress in comments released Friday.

The comments from Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, underscore the extraordinary political environment in America, where the president has declared without evidence that the expected surge in mail-in ballots will make the vote “inaccurate and fraudulent,” and has suggested he might not accept the election results if he loses.

It’s obvious now, Fox News CONSPIRED against Trump

(Natural News) We all saw it unfold before our eyes election night, as the mass media pretended like Joe Biden had the lead from the outset, would keep it, and would be “patient” while an avalanche of fake votes and voting machine algorithms did the heavy lifting the next few days to help him “win.” Then, for some strange reason, Fox News called Arizona way too early. Looking back it’s the smoking gun. Hindsight is 20/20, and even the sloppy Democrat cheat machine can’t cover their tracks. Now lump Fox News right in with the swamp creatures. They stabbed all patriots in the back during the biggest battle of the century.

The goal of the Democrats and Globalists (who now own and run Fox News) was to convince all Americans that Biden had the whole thing “in the bag” from the beginning so the results would sting less. Four years ago, every Democrat in America was screaming the Russians conspired with Trump to fix the election, now every Republican is labeled a conspiracy theorist, including Trump, who says the election got rigged in any way, shape or form. Guess who was in on the fix? Fox News.

Allegiance is quickly shifting away from “Fix” News

Aside from the amazing Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, Fox News is finished. Allegiance has shifted to incredible investigative journalists at Gateway Pundit and Zero Hedge. It’s obvious that Fox “Fix” News (The Rupert Murdoch-owned TV network) carried out treason, along with Associated Press, CNN, all the alphabet networks and pretty much every bloody newspaper and network in the country by declaring Biden the winner. But now the proof of mass fraud is all being uncovered.

Still, the mass media is hiding it all, including the Fixed News Network, Fox. Then again, it’s really no surprise because Big Pharma owns and runs every word spoken by the network, since they dominate the advertising revenue (just watch 5 commercials and at least 2 are about toxic lab-made prescription drugs).

It started getting obvious the fix was in for Biden, when uncertain, toss-up races in many states were called for Biden, while states where Trump was walloping Biden were left “undecided,” so the crooked mail-in ballots and Dominion voting machine algorithms could “work that magic wand” for the Sleezy Joe and  “Down & Dirty” Kamala, later on. Right now, it’s hard to trust anybody or any news at all. Watch this:

Rhino “Republicans” undermine Trump, and the Globalists who hate Trump even more so run Fox News

We won’t name any names (except for Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA), and Sen. Lisa Murkowksi (R-AK). These senators vote against anything wise Trump proposes, and rather for anything dumb that Chuck “the Schmuck” Schumer wants. Yes, and Mitt Romney is the reincarnated John McCain of the senate. They all want Trump out of office so they can launder billions of dollars the old fashioned way. But wait, there’s more.

Fox didn’t just call Arizona early, though, because then came Michigan. Fox News, literally overnight, became just more fake news. What a horror for the fans of Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. Fox went total lefty, and the world saw it plain as day. Even Trump was screaming bloody murder about the fraudulent election all over Twitter but he got censored by the Globalists.

Nearly three million votes, all in swing states, have already been found to be fraudulent. Some were mailed in by dead people. Many more by felons. Hundreds of thousands of votes were switched from Trump to Biden by Nancy Pelosi’s voting machines that fixed the whole election (Dominion). Fox News celebrated all the fake wins for Biden, and were leading the charge. Never go to “Fix News” again. Boycott everything they represent. You should have “killed your television” years ago, during the Vietnam War.

Now it’s time to tune your internet dial to Censored.news for all kinds of updates on the stolen election that Trump plans on winning back. My friends and patriots, nobody, and we mean nobody, should ever bet against Trump. May the republic forge through this living nightmare brought on by the new Hitler duo – George Soros and Bill Gates.

This election was about demographics and the continuing dumbing down of our electorate via the mass importation of leftist voters from socialist countries.  You should know this; sadly you do not.

How is the Aquarian corrupt?  Please state your facts or lose the argument (again) to me.

Also please delineate your fourth paragraph and explain how Donald Trump, our greatest living President, failed in his performance.

I invite you to defend you suppositions rather than hurl insults.  Sadly, I don't think you are able.

P.S.  What country are you from and how does your leader compare?  I would assume he is superior to President Child-Molester-Select Biden.          

And put some ice on that.

Game-On for the Coup?

It will all go according to plan—unless we stop it.
Strictly speaking, a coup is an illegitimate change of government by violent means. But what if you can do it without violence? To win without fighting is best, Sun Tzu says. An ostensibly (“mostly”) peaceful ouster from power is preferable to the use of force because it can much more easily be sold as “our democracy” at work.

National polls consistently predicted a huge Biden blowout. That they were wrong (again) is demonstrated by the facts that (a) the 2020 popular vote is, so far (California is not fully counted), a mere two-point spread, hardly a blowout; (b) Trump got a higher share of the vote than last time; and (C) Trump received far more total votes than last time.

But it’s the swing states that matter. Here (again) Trump was supposed to lose—if not necessarily bigly in every case, at least widely.

But throughout the day, the president consistently outperformed the polls. He crushed his 2016 performance in Florida. He also outperformed in Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas. Senators he was supposed to drag down with him, including Joni Ernst, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell, won handily. Even Susan Collins, who was supposed to be sure goner and lose by at least three, won by nine. A party that was “certain” to lose the Senate has kept it and gained (so far) six seats in the House.

Looking at states no one expected Trump to lose, his overperformance is even more stark. The polling average for West Virginia was Trump +17; he won it by 39. Kansas was estimated at +9; the result was +15.

Throughout the day the president was also outperforming his expected result in key states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He even, for a time, looked like he was within striking distance in Virginia, a state Hillary Clinton won by five points in 2016. At one point the New York Times’s “meter” had Trump’s chances in North Carolina at 92%. The needle was also sliding in the president’s direction in Arizona and Georgia, among others.

And then, suddenly, the counting stopped in at least five states (or parts of states): Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin; all but one with a Democratic governor (coincidence, surely!). When has that ever happened? Well, it happened in Broward County, Florida, in 2018, when a dodgy Democratic election official appeared to be intervening, illicitly, on her party’s behalf. The process only got back underway when the state’s (Republican) governor intervened and had her removed from the process.

But getting back to last night, some time in the wee hours, additional ballots were “found” and added to early totals which had Trump ahead. To no one’s surprise, those votes were overwhelmingly—literally as much as 100% in some batches—for Biden. According to Nate Silver, no one’s idea of a Trumpist, one tranche of 23,277 votes that turned up in Philadelphia were “all for Biden.” Absent some kind of harvesting or fraud (or both), that’s a logical and statistical impossibility.

Through the night, all such ballots came from heavily Democratic areas posting unusually, improbably high turnout. 85% in Milwaukee? A city that turned out at only 61% in 2016, and even with Obama on the ballot in 2012, at 71%? But 85% for Sleepy Joe? According to one report, seven Milwaukee precincts returned more presidential votes than they have registered voters. Turnout in Wisconsin overall is alleged to have been 89.25%, more than five standard deviations for the state’s mean turnout since 1960—another statistical impossibility.

One might also wonder why this urban Blue wave materialized only in close states. Milwaukee was way up but not Cleveland? Philly but not St. Louis? Granted Ohio and Missouri are Red, but their big cities aren’t.

How It’s Done

We’ve seen this movie before. This is how they beat Scott Walker in Wisconsin in 2018, Tom Foley in Connecticut in 2010, and Norm Coleman in Minnesota in 2008.

Why stop the count? Because that’s the only way to know how many votes you need to “win.” Sure, you can just brute force things by backing up a truck full of ballots. But that looks bad. You might even end up counting more votes than there are registered voters in the state. Better to eke out a narrow win. As Joseph Kennedy, Sr. allegedly said to his second son, “I’m not paying for a landslide.”

Speaking of the Kennedys, veteran political observer Theodore H. White—in their company on election night 1960—explained how it’s done.

In Illinois, the race came down to downstate (Republican) versus Cook County (Democratic), and the bosses, holding back totals from key precincts, were playing out their concealed cards under pressure of publicity as in a giant game of blackjack….

The AP ticker chattered its keys once more and reported: “With all downstate precincts now reported in, and only Cook County precincts unreported, Richard Nixon has surged into the lead by 3,000 votes.”

I was dismayed, for if Nixon really carried Illinois, the game was all but over. And at this point I was jabbed from dismay by the outburst of jubilation from young Dick Donahue, who yelped, “He’s got them! Daley made them go first! He’s still holding back—watch him play his hand now.” I was baffled, they were elated. But they knew the counting game better than I, and as if in response to Donahue’s yelp, the ticker, having stuttered along for several minutes with other results, announced: “With the last precincts of Cook County now in, Senator Kennedy has won a lead of 8,000 votes to carry Illinois’s 27 electoral votes.”

Later that evening, Kennedy told his friend Ben Bradlee of an early call from Daley, when all seemed in doubt. “With a little bit of luck and the help of a few close friends,” Daley had assured Kennedy before the AP had pushed out the count, “you’re going to carry Illinois.”

Is that what happened last night? Sure looks like it. Plus ça change.

To say nothing of other considerations, it’s hard to believe that an eight-point win in Ohio would be coupled with losses throughout the rest of the upper Midwest, or that historically deep purple Florida would go strongly for Trump while Georgia and North Carolina would not. Are those states really so unrepresentative of the American electorate?

Stop the Steal

The thing could (but will never) be proved. Those who ran the operation are also in charge of all the potential investigating agencies. There’s zero chance they will use any of that power to uncover their own malfeasance. Think a Biden Justice Department will look into it?

Expect instead a media typhoon of propaganda insisting that the results are all legit, that any anomaly you think you see (or saw) is a “conspiracy theory,” or at any rate innocently explainable by mundane process details too boring to get into. Twitter is already slapping warnings on the accounts of those who point out irregularities. How long before they start outright suspensions?

Will it work? That depends on the president and his allies and what they do. The odds and the forces arrayed against them are immense.

What would I have them do? I’m no expert but the crew at Revolver has some good ideas: (1) challenge the late-night “finds” in the courts; (2) hold rallies in contested states; (3) urge GOP officials in close states to expose shenanigans and, if necessary, to refuse to seat Biden electors in the event of a fake count; (4) mount a campaign to marshal grassroots public opinion in the president’s favor. Convince the people that if in fact the election is in the process of being stolen, the president and his allies are going to fight the steal on their behalf. If middle America wants to prevent this election from being stolen, it will have to be willing to act—now. I know they are willing, but they need to hear from the President and his best surrogates. I’d get Trump on Tucker, tonight, to explain his plan.

But in another sense, the Democrats’ plan won’t “work.” Even if the steal can be made to stick, half the country won’t accept it. That is, they’ll accept the reality that power is now in the hands of a party that took it by fraud. But they won’t believe that the election was fair or the outcome real. They will believe, or be confirmed in a belief that’s been brewing for a long time, that the system is rigged, the process is fake, the ruling class are liars, the government is illegitimate, and that they themselves are subjects and not citizens—anything but a free people with a say over its own destiny. If the ruling class can get away with this, they will be able to get away with anything. And they will know it.

The irony will be that those who, over the last four years, have bleated the loudest about “our democracy” will have been most responsible for killing it off.

Game-On for the Coup?

It will all go according to plan—unless we stop it.
Strictly speaking, a coup is an illegitimate change of government by violent means. But what if you can do it without violence? To win without fighting is best, Sun Tzu says. An ostensibly (“mostly”) peaceful ouster from power is preferable to the use of force because it can much more easily be sold as “our democracy” at work.

National polls consistently predicted a huge Biden blowout. That they were wrong (again) is demonstrated by the facts that (a) the 2020 popular vote is, so far (California is not fully counted), a mere two-point spread, hardly a blowout; (b) Trump got a higher share of the vote than last time; and (C) Trump received far more total votes than last time.

But it’s the swing states that matter. Here (again) Trump was supposed to lose—if not necessarily bigly in every case, at least widely.

But throughout the day, the president consistently outperformed the polls. He crushed his 2016 performance in Florida. He also outperformed in Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas. Senators he was supposed to drag down with him, including Joni Ernst, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell, won handily. Even Susan Collins, who was supposed to be sure goner and lose by at least three, won by nine. A party that was “certain” to lose the Senate has kept it and gained (so far) six seats in the House.

If middle America wants to prevent this election from being stolen, it will have to be willing to act—now. I know they are willing, but they need to hear from the President and his best surrogates. I’d get Trump on Tucker, tonight, to explain his plan.

But in another sense, the Democrats’ plan won’t “work.” Even if the steal can be made to stick, half the country won’t accept it. That is, they’ll accept the reality that power is now in the hands of a party that took it by fraud. But they won’t believe that the election was fair or the outcome real. They will believe, or be confirmed in a belief that’s been brewing for a long time, that the system is rigged, the process is fake, the ruling class are liars, the government is illegitimate, and that they themselves are subjects and not citizens—anything but a free people with a say over its own destiny. If the ruling class can get away with this, they will be able to get away with anything. And they will know it.

The irony will be that those who, over the last four years, have bleated the loudest about “our democracy” will have been most responsible for killing it off.

....Nice reporting.

This election was about demographics and the continuing dumbing down of our electorate via the mass importation of leftist voters from socialist countries.  You should know this; sadly you do not.

How is the Aquarian corrupt?  Please state your facts or lose the argument (again) to me.

Also please delineate your fourth paragraph and explain how Donald Trump, our greatest living President, failed in his performance.

I invite you to defend you suppositions rather than hurl insults.  Sadly, I don't think you are able.

P.S.  What country are you from and how does your leader compare?  I would assume he is superior to President Child-Molester-Select Biden.          

And put some ice on that.

Donald loves you, FanBack.

And, by the way,, he needs you to help him now, more than ever. Please won't you help him?

I don't wish to alarm you, but this is what will happen to your cult leader if you don't help him (i.e., contribute money to his worthy cause):

How much more proof do we need that this election was stolen?  We have Trump and Giuliani's word that the fix was in and that is good enough.

So, the next logical step is to place the so-called "president elect" under house arrest and declare martial law. 

Then, go after the traitor democrats.  We know they did something, but we just lack the who, where and when.  So, the only course is lock 'em all up - concentration camps like we did to the Japs in WWII.  Bread and water is too good for those bums - let's starve them to death.

Elections are going to be obsolete, so we might just as well set up the line of succession to Don Sr.  Under the rights of "promogeniture" Don Jr takes over in the event that Don Sr. dies.  This is really exciting stuff! - I am a firm believer in the concept of Divine Right of Kings and I hope that we can amend the constitution to reflect that.  Or, we can just throw the whole thing out - that works too.

I put a spell on you.

You have failed the test.   FanBack is victorious once again.

Look, FanBack.  This is serious. Let's not fool around. Your cult leader is in trouble.  Serious trouble. He may not make it mentally, if not physically, through this very rough time. He needs your support. He needs you to make a generous donation to help carry on with the noble fight to liberate and look after and improve the lives of everyone who has the wisdom and persistence to believe in him. 

Once again, this is what the future holds for your beloved Donald, may God keep him strong and bless him and protect him against the coordinated insidious illegal coup to overthrow him that is being carried out even as I write this:

The malicious forces arrayed against your Donald are powerful. So we just have to be even more powerful. As powerfully powerful as possible. Help to release that power, FanBack. I know you can do it. 

But a word of caution.  Be careful not to give Donald all of your money. You'll want to keep some for yourself. This is because money can be use to purchase things. Essential things. This means things that are necessary for your continued existence, FanBack. Would you like an example? Sure thing, chum. Food, for instance.  Food can be very important. Some wise men even say they have life-giving qualities. So that's just the sort of thing you'll want to target with the money you will have left over after you give Donald most of your life savings. 

Good luck to you, FanBack. God bless you and especially Donald.

That is pretty weak sarcasm.  I have challenged you many times to present facts.  And you cannot.

Trump beat both parties and the entire establishment.  He couldn't do it twice.  He accomplished the agenda items for which I voted; i.e. selective deregulation, the fostering of domestic manufacturing (the only true defense against a fiat currency dubiously backed by the promise of Saudi oil), job creation, the peel back of executive orders, changes to the AFCA (holy misnomer!!) that saw my insurance deductible go from $5K to a $100 copay, limiting rich fat cats from writing off ridiculous state property taxes on their federal taxes.

These are facts.  Facts by definition are items that you are unable to produce in defense of your position.

 Debate me; sadly you cannot.
