There is one story that should be the dominant one but it is getting cursory coverage. The President of the United States warned that if things got bad, he had the military, police & Bikers for Trump ready and waiting. The stuff of dictatorships. Normalized in today’s environment
2. For two years when asked I have given my worst case scenario. Trump is cornered, goes on Fox and Twitter and says “This is a coup attempt by the deep state and Hillary Clinton to steal the election I won fair and square. Take to the streets to preserve our country.”
3. Many do. Most in the military will not. Most police will not. Some will. Bikers for Trump and others will. There are bloody confrontations, w police, radicals on the other side and peaceful counterprotesters. Trump calls a state of emergency and suspends civil liberties.
Of course, this is not a certainty. But as his shocking statement today suggests, it is not beyond his capacity or the willingness of many who follow him. And there is certainly no assurance that all or most elected Republicans in Congress would stand up to him.
