      1. So what the hell is going on? Trump refuses to concede election, is trying to undermine results with conspiracy theories and has purged the civilian leadership of Pentagon & replaced it with ultra-loyalists. How worried should we be?

      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 …

      Is it alarmist to note Trump is installing loyalists at the Pentagon precisely as he muscles virtually the entire GOP into either embracing his unfounded claims of fraud or at least refusing to acknowledge Biden victory? Biden is casually dismissing it all as irrelevant? Is it? https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1326263424146399232 …

      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/ …

          Secret Service may have to intervene, though.

          Again the last part is quite naive. Why do you believe officer class isn’t going to intervene? What’s the evidence?

          Officer class may not. But what about the enlisted men? Last thing you want to hear is "... appears the troops have shot their officers and are moving on the capitol." I have been in countries where this has happened

          Even among enlisted men support for trump is lower than ever and I mean that in a sense that they are as divided as our people back home. A coup wouldn't muster up enough of them to be concerned about I dont think.

          Isn’t it the case that everyone follows down your “wait and see” path, it will be too late to act? Most of the media is still joking about it and calling him a Toddler

          Trump is a guy who loves and needs IMMEDIATE gratification. We know that. So we also know he isn't some strategic master but he tends to "understand" some people. He know how to play their basic urges. He uses and abuses that. So what does that mean for these actions? Revenge....

          Military won’t intervene, I’m not even sure what that would look like and who would order what.
