      maybe stop repeating yourself because this was much further from happening than you seem to want to think.

      the point isn’t that it was *likely*. the point is that a formerly ceremonial part of the process is now a site of political contestation. something that was not “possible” — in that it was understood as outside the rules of the game — is now possible.

      if a sufficient number of people believe that you can overturn a presidential election by subverting the ceremonial processes to certify it — and if people with power have actively plotted to do it — then it’s a live possibility.

      Yep, a lot of the political system depends on a kind of honor system. Not good when people realize that and decide to game the system.

          The GOP knows that Democrats will never escalate, no matter what they do. If there was a soft coup, Democrats would back down.
