    1. Trump's a clown but the GOP is serious about power. I was interested to learn from Ronald Brownstein's reporting in Atlantic that Biden White House has fears of elected GOP (in congress & state legislatures) overturning 2024 electoral vote.pic.twitter.com/8P0Jy8nQ7r

        2. With all coup talk, it's important to realize dual truth: Trump wants a coup & also he doesn't have a plausible mechanism for one. Resistance of permanent bureaucracy (civilian & military) + GOP elected officials sparred USA from real threat in 2020/21. But 2024?

        3. Plausible coup scenario that Biden White House worries about is: post-2022 GOP controls House & key swing states. Trumpized GOP (purged of those who resisted in 2020/21) overturns electoral results.

        4. Worrisome thing about this scenarios is that if Dems give up on voting rights reform, there isn't very many ways to stop GOP from doing that. More here:https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/the-coup-next-time?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

        You mean you didn't think that Biden paid attention to the news?

        I think that it is a reference to Biden's increasingly tiresome and dangerous habit of lionizing the GOP and bipartisanship.

        I like that idea, but you'd have to be pretty lucky to have a good outcome.

        Serious worry and they come to that dumb conclusion. GOP is not even playing the same game
