(CRITICAL INFORMATION) The Trump family has now put out via propagandist Mark Levin—quickly retweeted by Trump's son—a call to enact the "November Nightmare" scenario I outlined in Episode 7 of the PROOF podcast. You'll want to know what is being plotted.
(PS) In summary, what the Trump family is now advocating is the creation of fraudulent slates of state electors that do not represent the will of the voters or final vote tallies. It's the most dangerous, anti-democratic tactic ever advocated for in modern U.S. political history. 
(PS2) Here's the proof that this was RTed by Trump's son to his 6 million Twitter followers—though of course you can confirm it yourself by looking at Don Jr.'s Twitter feed. The percentage you see in this screenshot is the troll/bot rating automatically provided by @BotSentinel.
(PS3) The upshot is this: the false fraud claims the Trumps are making are *not intended for you or me* as their intended audience. Their audience is Trump's base, which he wants to threaten GOP politicians into supporting his "November Nightmare" game plan (fraudulent electors).
(PS4) I very much understand and respect those who are saying the Trumps' call for fraudulent state electors shouldn't be amplified in any way or for any reason (even critique).
Here's the problem: we need to *know* that this is being plotted within far-right Republican spheres.
Here's the problem: we need to *know* that this is being plotted within far-right Republican spheres.
(PS5) Trump's "November Nightmare" doesn't require that you know about it or agree to it. It only requires far-right actors to know about it and advance it. So if only *they* know that the plot has been set in motion, won't the rest of us be blindsided if we're unaware of it now?
(PS6) For instance, discussing Trump's plot *now* allows us to say that it's even more dangerous than Levin's framing, as state GOP *parties* could try to send fraudulent electors to Congress even without the blessing of state legislators—and before the end, that might be tried.
(PS7) Saying "this is the plot" is *not* the same as advocating for it, and I think people know that very well. Pretending the plot doesn't exist doesn't make it go away. What we *must* do—I agree—is *always* discuss the plot as a fraud, unconstitutional, and a threat to America.
(PS8) If you want to know about how American elections really work with respect to slates of state electors—that is, how this topic is addressed and executed legally, constitutionally, and consistent with our founding principles—here's an excellent primer:
