The Rules
Posts must be:

It means forget the votes, and forget democracy. In other words, do a coup. The thing you are adamantly arguing against.
I hope someone's paying you to spread disinformation, and you're not simply a blithering imbecile.
NO THE FUCK IT ISNT YOU FUCKING MORON. NOW ALL YOU'RE DOING IS PARROTING FUCKING ALEX JONES' BULLSHIT. I HEARD THE SAME EPISODE AND YOU AND HE ARE DEAD FUCKING WRONG.
Holy shit, that's what you are. You're one of the Alex Jones idiots. Now it makes sense.
Yeah, good luck with any of your nonsense holding up in court. You're worse than the sovereign citizen people. At least they mostly keep to themselves with all their made up nonsense.
Not like you. You're here just showing your ass in public.
A coup doesn’t have to be violent. It can utilize existing rules if it breaks their spirit or the ability to change them.
A coup is a forceful seizure of governmental power that subverts the existing system of power. That includes shit like this.
A coup can be military but also from other bodies.
In this case it would be a self-coup since a lawfully elected power would be attempting to maintain power by illegal means.
