The President and his totally insane advisers are discussing seizing voting machines and declaring martial law cnn.com/2020/12/19/pol… nytimes.com/2020/12/19/us/…
Doesn't matter that it won't happen. These are grounds for removal from office. Full stop.

The President is having meetings in the White House about whether to mount a coup. We cannot be silent. 
The Wall Street Journal editorial board mocked me for warning of the threat Donald Trump posed to American democracy back in 2017. People were still suggesting that the threat had been overblown just a few weeks ago. And here we are.
Donald Trump will not succeed. Joe Biden will be president on January 20. But the fact that a coup is being considered and the President is not being immediately impeached and removed from office is a sign of profound democratic erosion.
Dangerous how the goalposts are shifting. Imagine telling yourself in 2014 that people will think everything is fine because the next President won't *successfully* pull off a coup

Dangerous how we treat this as normal. In stable democracies, the military doesn't *have* to disavow its role in potential coup plots.
The man with the nuclear codes
The head of a state party is calling for the President to engage in a coup - a topic recently discussed at the White House - and overturn the results of a free and fair election.

Barely even news. The fact that a coup was *contemplated* is a violation of his oath. You impeach and remove any president who has meetings about overturning elections. Likelihood of success doesn't matter.

If the President had a meeting about murdering someone at the White House, would everyone say, well, he won't actually do it?
The President had a meeting where he and his advisers discussed a military coup as a response to the election. A coup. In the United States.

What if Barack Obama had a meeting about a coup? Does anyone think we'd just pretend it didn't happen?

Meanwhile, a "leading" contender for Virginia governor is calling for martial law (washingtonpost.com/local/virginia… thedailybeast.com/virginia-state…). What if she wins and tries to overturn the results in 2024? Should be expelled from the VA state senate nytimes.com/2020/12/20/us/…
Indeed. A bipartisan conspiracy of silence.

Nothing to worry about, just a delusional person at the White House trying to get the defeated president to seize voting machines from states as part of a coup-like effort to overturn the election. No big deal.

Nothing to worry about, just one of Trump's top advisers calling the incoming presidency "illegal" after Trump was defeated in a free and fair election
