      1. This is right. Trump's clownish authoritarianism makes it hard to calibrate a response: to take Trump's schemes as likely to succeed is to fall into hysteria. To dismiss them as mere distraction is to fall into complacency. Both responses wrong.https://twitter.com/AdamSerwer/status/1329093979879723008 …

      As with everything Trump has done to subvert democracy, his scheme to overturn the election results would be catastrophic if it succeeded and yet it is nevertheless being executed in a way that could be set to the Benny Hill theme.

      2. Most modern authoritarians have a clownish aspect (for reasons Adorno noted: that buffoonery is mockery of norms & order). But Trump much more than most authoritarians actually is inept & stupidly incapable of doing things. Which doesn't mean he's not dangerous.

      3. Several things can be true: a) Trump is trying to pull off a coup b) this coup is failing and will fail. c) coup attempt is still hugely damaging to democracy. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-coup-election-michigan/ …

          There are some crimes that you simply have to take seriously even if they’re being ineptly perpetrated by the Three Stooges.

          The threat to our democracy is real. The destruction of our norms is a current and future threat. That the #GOPOligarchs have not shot down Trump shows they & their money support the overthrow of democracy if they are the ones in power.
