The “secret” almost certainly involves a plan to install Trump in the White House if he loses the election—but this plan could be even worse than you think.

A potential plan by Republican leaders to steal the 2024 presidential election. The plan involves delaying the certification of election results in key battleground states, potentially decreasing the overall number of electors appointed and allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency through a contingent election, whereby the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, determines the president.

    Lol…I was in the process of writing a similar comment. Articles like these worry me that this coup is going to result in the very real loss of American lives. History will prove this man as one of the worst in the world.

      Loss of life would be tragic, of course, awful. I think people could be put in the very real, very dangerous situation where they’ve been abandoned by the captured court, and the fascists are installing themselves on a perversion of the law, and the freedom of all Americans is at stake. When you’ve been put in that position what can you do? The courtswomt care, the republicans won’t care, and if they take over like this it will be permanent. Dark fucking days ahead.

      And let’s not pretend a coup in America wouldn’t have ramifications abroad either.
