    1. Trump's refusal to acknowledge defeat, his stirring up of conspiracy theories, his incitement of street goons like the proud boys, his call for Republican state legislators to choose electors -- all of these amount too a coup, albeit a typically half-assed Trumpian one.

        2. Trump's half-assed doddering like doomed coup shouldn't blind us to the other ways he has undermined democracy -- in particular by his lazy governance which has empowered factions within the national security establishment.

        3. This Defense One story deserves more attention than it got. Trump's Syria Envoy boasting about how they were able to deceive him into keeping troops in Syria. Very typical story of Trump era: an addled president empowering national security state.pic.twitter.com/WEln4XgjdT

        Right. Give or take 20 judges stand in their way really from getting what they want which is to wrongfully invalidate hundreds of thousands of votes.

        According to serious people we only have a right to be upset if he somehow pulls it off. If he fails then it was no big deal and we should just forgive and forget.

        Yes. But to preserve my mental health until January 20 I will probably not be revisiting this 1983 Seymour Hersh's piece about the dying days of the Nixon presidency:https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1983/08/the-pardon/305571/ …

        Read Len Colodny and Bob Gettlin's book "Silent Coup" for more on the deal engineered by Haig

        Does a coup have to be successful to be called a coup? It's at minimum a coup attempt.
