I often mention the December 18, 2020 meeting where Sidney Powell, Michael Flynn, & Patrick Byrne (the Overstock dot com guy) swept into the White House uninvited & ambled into Trump’s office, then tried to convince him to have the military “re-run” the election.

“But Origins,” you say, “surely you’re not JUST relying on Patrick Byrne’s word!”
I am not. It was covered amply by the real media.
CNN, for instance:

And so on and so forth. There are also accounts from the “let’s NOT have a dictatorship” side of the meeting, which cast the argument in a different light.
But ultimately, the details of who said what are only of interest to historians.
What matters to all of us is this:

What matters to all of us is this:
These anti-democracy activists, committed conspiracy theorists all, walked into the White House and sat down with the President.
For hours, they tried to sell him on overturning the election at the barrel of a gun.

We’re INCREDIBLY fortunate he didn’t go along w/it — and I don’t know why he refused. My guess is he thought the military wouldn’t do it.
Or maybe his narcissism worked in everyone’s favor for once: the emotional rewards of watching the real lawyers and these fascistic assholes fight for his attention were short-term & very real, ans therefore WAY more important than, you know, making a decision or following up.
Either way, the December 18th meeting is a pivotal moment in American history, but very few people know about it.
That’s why I wave my arms and shout about it so frequently.
