    This is the kind of development that, if it took place elsewhere, would elicit urgent US diplomacy, warnings about a power grab, and threats of sanctions against those who would subvert democracy.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-uses-power-of-presidency-to-try-to-overturn-the-election-and-stay-in-office/2020/11/19/bc89caa6-2a9f-11eb-8fa2-06e7cbb145c0_story.html …

        Enough is enough. Americans need the transition to begin, a return to governing, and an embrace of democracy - rather than attempts to subvert it - that once again inspires the world. No easy task.

        Not to forget a security council meeting. What happened to the beacon of democracy?

        I’d take it a step further and suggest we might be poised to step in. It’s unbelievable this is happening in the US.

        I know right? Guess now we are realising democracy is not secure, it ts not working & crazed dictators should be easier to stop

        Only the beginning. Wait until 2024. Republicans will never make the mistake of letting this many people vote again.

        A power grab from @realDonaldTrump, a guy who was never held accountable for his terrible business deals, money laundering and sexual indiscretions/abusiveness toward women. Folks, the US Constitution draws the line.

        Can laws be written so things like this can't happen? We can't afford another trump figure but smarter and sleeker. I feel he has been able to get away with a lot!

        Well, unless they were a South American right wing dictator. Then we’d arm them.
