They won't win. They've lost the support of both congress and the electorate.

To be clear, they'll grow more dangerous as the noose tightens. They'll try to invalidate the elections. They'll block congress at every turn. They may try violence.

But if Minneapolis is anything to go by, they're going to find out one way or another that we aren't trapped in here with them, they are trapped in here with us.

    If Hegseth mobilizes troops to block Congress from convening, it could come to civil war. I think Congress should have a contingency plan for this in advance. If they are physically blocked from the Capitol building, they can convene over Zoom or something.

    Vought has already published (his think tank did anyway) the plan to deem certain candidate elects unfit to take the oath on 1/3/27. Things that could make a candidate elect unfit? Being a Muslim or a member of DSA. They're telling us what they're going to do again. We should start listening.

    Very scary yet thorough analysis. TL;DR is that Trump has been and continues to put the pieces in place to seize power by preventing Congress from convening on Jan 3rd. There have been several moves that have been made to that end, like purging generals and creating a "quick reaction force" within our military. The most recent move was promoting Steven Miller to White House chief of staff.

    the guy that has been joked as unable to physically overpower a hooker, and went into politics as part of his sexual frustration.

    If Hegseth is removed this conspiracy theory falls apart.
