1. Yup n/t

2. Yup.

Pence and Pelosi assassinated by the mob. Trump declares martial law to “control the chaos”. Without pence and pelosi, the certification is thrown into chaos, and Trump uses it to declare the election null.

3. I believe that may be true.

If Pence had been captured, killed, hung--whatever, trump would have called it.

6. He had to get it done before the election was certified. When Pence failed, game on.

4. That's what it looked like.. didn't work.

5. Agree.

7. This was his Reichstag Fire and it failed

But yes.

Martial law was the goal.

11. I fear it was his Beer Hall Putsch. (eom)

8. Pretty sure trumPutin was hoping for a bloody battle between MAGAts and anti-fascists.

He wanted more bloodshed so he'd have more excuse to send in the troops and declare himself ruler, for national security.

[crickets]

14. Yep. It looks awful for trump that only his rabble showed up.

There's clearly no one else to blame.

9. That's precisely what they were after n/t

[brooklynite]

10. No...

What you're imagining requires a strategic approach that Trump has never exhibited.

[Iggo]

12. Of course, it was.

13. The goal was establishing a monarchy

I'm not exaggerating or kidding. He always said what he meant, and he said maybe he'd be in office another 8 years instead of another 4, or maybe even 12. And then he talked about his kids taking over. He never joked about this stuff. He said what he meant.
