    1. An interesting thread here with important objection from @jbouie. I think Bouie is right especially on a key point: that the Eastman strategy (Pence not certifying) went hand in hand with the state legislature strategy (and I would add the Jan. 6 riot strategy).https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1441407079940509696 …

    I would like just one essay like the new one from Kagan to treat Trump's incompetence in using power as a core fact about him, not a variable that's likely to change radically in 2024: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/23/robert-kagan-constitutional-crisis/ … pic.twitter.com/vCo2v730Ec

        2. Trump's coup attempt should be seen as a war fought with disparate but converging forces: it relied on legal theorists like Eastman (to justify not certifying), co-operative GOP pols (Cruz, Grassley, Rand), state legislature and (as a pressure point) the Jan. 6 riots.

        3. The fact that the coup didn't work is hardly reassuring considering how many different political forces Trump was able to get to go along with this crackpot scheme (and vast majority of GOP congress was after the fact unwilling to impeach/remove). Also: its still going on.

        4. The coup remains an unfinished story because Trumpists continue to work over state parties and legislatures to make them do in 2024 what they didn't in 2020/2021: overturn election results. @bellye66 & I talk about this & more herehttps://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-stuffed-shirts-and-the?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

        Bouie being right in an objection to uptight parasite Ross Douthat is a given, my friend.

        What struck me reading about Trump's election-night reaction to Fox calling AZ was that Giuliani was the only guy in the room giving Trump good advice (from a coup perspective), and in the next administration, Giuliani or someone like him will be the only guy in the room.

        Replying to @HeerJeet @jbouie

        Sorry, imo Ross is right and Bouie is wrong. I don't see any justification for the assumption that Trump will eventually hit upon the correct constellation of abuses and corruptions to launch a successful coup. It's a remote possibility, but not likely.

        Trump may not be the ultimate beneficiary but he is helping republicans sow the seeds necessary to justify future electoral corruption. Half the country would view GOP interference as “correcting “ a rigged outcome
