Incredible. 11 Republican Senators and a majority of House Republicans will vote to reject the 2020 US election result and instead appoint Trump president themselves.
This attempted coup will fail. But the world should remember that we came so close. edition.cnn.com/2021/01/02/pol…

The coup is failing because Joe Biden's election victory (7 million more votes and unassailable leads in the battleground states) wasn't narrow enough for it to work.
But what if it had been closer? Think about how close we came to democratic collapse and possible civil war.

Europeans cannot 🙈🙉🙊 and pretend the US is a different place than it is right now. Biden's win does not make everything go back to normal.
Europe is allowing itself to be dependent on an unstable country that has just narrowly averted collapse.
Is that wise?

Last month @ChrisHayes did a good job explaining just how close the US came to complete democratic collapse.
And this explanation came well before it became clear how many Republicans in Congress would vote to overturn the election result this week.
