80's Republicans were already evil and stupid, but at least they would absolutely lynch 20's Republicans for treason

This is the stupidest timeline.

I would do the same, and the first thing I would do is declare the GOP a terrorist organization and start mowing down their leaders and media figures.

So fuck off, Senator.

Him: "ah yes, political precedent - that has never bit anyone in the ass"

This is the most oniony nottheonion all week, but it is only Tuesday so we will see what happens.

Someone representing Ohio saying they don’t support democracy in swing states? Shocking. Anyways I hope he gets cholera and dies of it. The sooner the better.

"He said he WOULD HAVE done a coup, not that he WOULD DO it, totally different!!!1!"

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 42 points 11 months ago

Whatever that means

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.

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.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

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.

Yeah, he'd do a coup. Thanks for repeating it. Cry some more about it.

Random note, whose sockpuppet are you? Get too butthurt because your last one got downvoted to hell?

He said IF he was Vice President in 2020 he would have told contested states to do slates of electors.

how do you not realize this is a coup? dear god man, how does discarding voted electors for a new slate based on party lines not equal a coup?
