      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 …

          Good question. I imagine all the people that dreaded the approach of 1860 because they knew it would be a leap into an abyss, but did not know what the abyss would look like.

          Then why no real urgency for electoral reforms? The way Dems are approaching this issue almost makes it seem like a scare tactic to get their people to the poll. They issue grave warnings one day and then tell manchin it’s ok to vote his conscience the next.

          I'm very worried they'll do it. It'll be civil war of some kind - probably not blues and grays but riots for sure. States seceding, which I'm not sure wouldn't be the worst thing at this point

          What worries me is that the lack of action by Biden WH and congressional Dems’ suggests that they don’t take this threat seriously. They should.
