Look, this is *today* and the Republican leadership is not standing up to defend an R governor while GOP election officials are begging for this to stop before "someone gets killed" & armed protesters are showing up at elected officials houses. This isn't just some norm-bending.pic.twitter.com/jbCkrEyAMe

Another counterargument to mine from
@dandrezner who highlights "the near-total absence of violence or mobilization toward violence" (well, kinda true enough... yet) and says Republicans are not lockstep (I think the elected ones are pretty lockstep!)https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/12/07/its-not-coup-its-not-even-bad-coup/ …9 replies 14 retweets 85 likesShow this thread -

Can we have accurate headlines? It may be “almost certain” to fail but it’s an attempt to steal the election—one that is not being condemned by Republican leadership, and supported by many, and that should be the top story everywhere instead of this normalizing tone.https://twitter.com/PhilipRucker/status/1338116738064527360 …

zeynep tufekci Retweeted Newt Gingrich
