2. First of all, I don't think people should be shamed if they are worried. What Trump is doing is very unusual and troublesome. Ronald Brownstein is an eminently centrist liberal and even he's concerned.https://twitter.com/RonBrownstein/status/1326276263279882240 …

3. No one should be complacent but it's important to take each Trump step and see what he could maximally achieve. The lawsuits are all jokes, are getting laughed out of court & aren't enough in any case to overturn Biden's substantial lead.

4. Military is a bit of black box but the moment of crisis was during the Black Lives Matter protests when military leaders rejected Trumps call to use troops. Trump's civilian goons will help him cover-up stuff but officer class isn't going to intervene in election.

5. Trump's moves are best seen as corrupt (using election fraud claim to raise funds, putting in loyalists to selectively declassify on Russiagate) but the actual mechanism of a coup aren't there yet. Trump is setting himself up to be GOP leader & run again.

6. Again: no complacency. Keep vigilant & powder dry. Be prepared to take to mobilize mass protests if necessary. But also don't panic & focus on specific fights. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-concede-defeat-coup/ …
