I think they're attempting the coup but they just don't have the keys to power. The middle civil service ranks don't support him enough, and nothing can jam the works like a functionary who doesn't want a thing done.
He's an angry senile man that just had covid and spent the past month on steroids and experimental drugs. We can't necessarily assume he's entirely coherent.
Reading your comment, I really hope this part is included in the historical interpretation of Trump’s presidency 60 years from now (boldly assuming the US and rest of the world still exist, that is).
We got to live during a pandemic with an already senile and mentally unstable sociopath as a president, and he caught the virus, almost died, and the steroids melted his brain. Then he disputed the results of a fairly cut and dried election, and is threatening not to leave lmao. I mean, that’s hilarious and would be a historical event I’d be into.
Absolutely. His entire brand is being the big winner who never gets owned, despite it happening a lot. Even if they don't pull off this maybe coup, he can inflate the actions they're taking now as his struggle with the deep state or some bullshit like that.
Would make a great movie for his future network since he's definitely not going to jail.
He's literally asking to be prosecuted by the Biden administration at this point. Like if he just backed down then Biden would absolutely not do shit, but past a certain point this shit absolutely does become personal.
SCOTUS just decided yesterday that state penalties on "faithless electors" are constitutional
in fact, that ruling yesterday, which I think was unanimous, would make it easier in a situation where GOP-held state legislatures in contested states contravene results for Biden
but that's only if SCOTUS doesn't invalidate mail-in ballots counted after last Tuesday in PA & WI and elsewhere lol
What does "states" in that context mean? Who exactly penalises? And What is the penalty? And is it just a penalty or is the vote of the faithless elector reversed?

I honestly can't wait for TrumpTV, it's gonna be a blast. Like a 24 hour Steven Segal movie marathon, but with more.

What if they do a faithless elector route where they maintain the presidency without a military coup

i think both in some cases
They could, but its surprisingly hard to bribe/threaten/subvert electors. The parties tend to appoint party loyalists.
