If january the sixth had been successful, what do you suppose the government would have functioned like after they tossed all the dems?

[bongsaway]

So trump's goons attack the capitol, stop the vote count, declare victory and kick every democrat out of office and install nothing but republicans in their places.

How do you suppose the rest of america would react? Do you think the military would take orders from them?

I have a friend who is privy to a lot of upper-level military information. I asked him what would happen if Trump refused to leave the White House. He said, "Oh, he's OUT". And this guy does not like Biden.

It never ceases to amaze me how fragile our democracy appears to the left.

Apparently, all it takes to bring down the United States of America is 700 rioters.

Have you informed the Chinese?

Trump and his followers both think it makes him look tough defying the law, while they both claim he and them are for law and order.

Trump had his reign of terror and america survived. Once the remnants are finally swept away, maybe the gop can move forward like reasonable adults willing to compromise?

Hundreds of rioters plus the Trump sycophant republicans and their alternate elector voodoo. And Grassley taking over while Pence was "indisposed".

Grassley suggests he may preside over Senate debate on Electoral College votes • Iowa Capital Dispatch

Sen. Chuck Grassley, Senate president pro tempore, suggested he may preside over the U.S. Senate debate regarding counting Electoral College votes.

It's a protest, not a real attempt to take over the country.

 

[Demon]

At least 955, and who knows how many they haven't been able to identify and find.

At least 1,003 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all.

Thousands of pro-Trump supporters descended on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Two years later, more than 1,000 have been charged with crimes.

What a terrible scenario, you are basically saying what would things be like if Trump was successful in staying in power despite the election process.

There would have been a real moment of government chaos, perhaps internationally destabilizing and domestically economic collapsing, which is probably what Trump and his enablers and supporters (including those here) wanted. Unsure what the military would have done but it may have split them as Trump enjoys splitting everyone else into the with us or we'll kill you crowd.

Make no mistake, those "patriots" only wanted one thing... their dictator to stay in office as a catalyst to empower them to harm all opposition.

The Republican Party is really only about anti-Constitutionalism today, and they crave power as a means to inflict violence on others.

I believe they were trying to decertify enough votes so Trump could “win”. How were they going to get rid of all the Democrats?

If they had succeeded it would have been challenged in court and the Electoral Count Act , or at least part of it, would have been ruled as violating the 12th amendment and therefore unconstitutional. Biden won the election and that would have been the end result.

But tell us, what was Trump going to do with the Eastman plan? What was he trying to do when urging Pence to not certify the electoral votes?
We all know but I'd like to hear it from a Trump apologist.

It was Trump who thought he could do that. And yes he informed the Chinese..

“He’s now president for life, president for life. And he’s great,” Trump said, according to audio of excerpts of Trump’s remarks at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida aired by CNN. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday,” Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.

If they had hung Pence like they wanted to Trump would have declared martial law and thrown the election into the House where he had a majority. Did they think it through enough? You must be kidding.

Let's backtrack. If they had succeeded, trump would still be president and if they could keep trump in office using violence you don't think their next step would be to use violence to remove the dems? Seriously? Trump would have encouraged it, hell he encouraged hanging his own vice president.

You underestimate the depths some folks will go to for power, money, fame and trump wants all three. He is a dangerous man.

Technically the military would have to follow orders of the "Commander in chief, who at that point would be Biden as Trump's term of office expired midnight of the day before.

The GOP began falling apart when Reagan/Bush came into power. Then Newt more or less took control of Capitol Hill like he was the one. Did not know it at the time Newt was sent in
by the Koch people so was a man named Sam Brownback. Newt introduced the legislation known as The Patriot Act which essentially put this fake Republican Party in the hands of
ALEC and the Koch financing team.

Nothing patriotic about the Patriot Act no way Jose. The GOP has been losing ground ever since. The Gutter ..........

It's all of the People ALEC has been funding over the past 35 years which has placed this country on a slippery slope. ALEC Koch has invaded school boards, local government, invaded capitol hill and offered many many many
names to take over the judicial system. ALEC is no fly by night operation. It is a well organized hit squad. Putting fascist believers is all of the right places to over throw this country......legally. Legalizing High Crimes. Charles Koch
knows what he is doing

Which is why very large voter turnouts are quite necessary for the next 50 years.

Just a protest my arse.

The "GENERALS" PER SE were not prepared to back back Trump no matter what. They just needed someone to step up and tell them don't do it.

Now the USA needs the FBI to be brought back to America.

It's a protest, not a real attempt to take over the country.

The protest ended, and the attempt to stop Congress from fulfilling it’s constitutional duty began at the point when crazy ass, violent Trumpsters attacked police officers and forced their way into the Capitol building.

Although the majority of crazy ass, violent Trumpsters did not have any specific plan of what to do exactly, or how to accomplish their goal, their intent was nonetheless clear; stop Biden from becoming President.

He was urging mike pence to do the 'right thing' in front of his now bloodthirsty crowd ready to fight for trump. So pence does do the right thing and next thing everyone knows we're hearing the crowd chanting hang mike pence. Who is confused, them or me? He helped uphold the constitution that day, what did they want, the law and order folks?

The "rioters" (carrying zip ties) went right to the Senate and House floor looking for Congressmen to take hostage. That was their goal to hold hostages and stop the certification of the electoral vote. Trump could then throw the election into the House where he had a majority.

I don’t believe there was ever a genuine risk that the mob of crazy ass, violent Trumpsters would deliver complete control of the country to Traitor Trump.

What could have happened was to cause enough of a delay in certifying Biden’s legitimate win that it would violate the specific requirements outlined in our Constitution, thus sparking a “constitutional crisis”.

Your scenario is so much a product of your fantasy, it's mind boggling.

1. Nobody attacked the Capitol. There was a riot.
2. The riot didn't "stop the vote count". It stopped the plan to not accept the bogus state certifications. btw, that plan would have required the states to investigate their election fraud...and deal with it. THAT'S what the riot stopped.
3. If the riot wasn't successful, no Democrats would have been kicked out of office and no Republicans would have been installed.

Now that reality has been restored, let's answer your two questions...

1. How do you suppose the rest of america would react?

Trump haters would have been pissed. Trump supporters would have been happy.​

2. Do you think the military would take orders from them?

Them...who? Congress? The states? Or the sitting President? Or the pissed off people? Per the Constitution, they would continue to take orders from the sitting President...whoever that turned out to be.​

So...the fact is, the riot WAS successful.

Which Trump would have remedied by throwing the election into the House with 1 vote per State. Republicans had a majority of States and would have picked Trump as the winner.

That is not what I heard when the mob got to the Senate floor. I heard them say "where did they go?" They planned on holding hostages and stopping the certification of the vote. The Trump would have declared martial law and let the House decide the election in his favor.
