Anti-Democracy Party.

3. Treason. Sedition. Coup.

This is a coup.

One he planned and prepared for years ago. He told us exactly what he would do if he lost reelection in 2016.

He said he'd use the courts to orchestrate a coup, and that's what he's doing. The GOP did cheat in PA, WI, MI, GA, NV and AZ. He expected to win because he intended to steal those states again--you can only steal a close election.

We proved if we turn out, we win. He abdicated control of the pandemic to the virus itself, hoping it killed off those big city liberals. He can't figure out states have democrats, and republicans and decline to state no matter which way thee election turns out. His binary thinking, his ego, can not grasp nuance or shades of gray.

He did cheat, exactly how he said he would, and we beat him because you actually can't create fraudulent absentee ballots. GOP always made use of absentee, and only when democrats used them in massive numbers did he start to decry the mail in vote. Had he issued a federal shelter in place, mask mandate for three months in the spring, and responded with even a modicum of common sense, Democrats would likely have gone to the polls and his theft of those swing states would nave gone unnoticed.
