The Trump Campaign Is Reportedly Plotting an Election Coup to “Bypass” a Biden Win
How Republican-controlled state legislatures could be used to circumvent the results of the election and ensure a Trump victory.

Donald Trump has been throwing everything he’s got at the 2020 election to ensure a favorable result or otherwise undermine the outcome: Sowing doubt in the legitimacy of mail-in ballots. Screwing with the Postal Service that will handle them. Trying to recruit “law enforcement” as poll watchers. Flirting with delaying the election and openly stating that he won’t accept any results he doesn’t like.
Now the Trump campaign is said to be considering another, even more outrageous approach: In a thorough and deeply disconcerting piece about the constitutional crisis that may await us between November 3 and the inauguration in January, the Atlantic’s Barton Gellman reports that the Trump campaign has been discussing “contingency plans to bypass the election results and appoint local electors in battleground states where Republicans hold the legislative majority.” Citing the president’s baseless claims of fraud, Team Trump could ask GOP-controlled state governments to choose electors, completely ignoring an unfavorable or uncertain popular vote, state and national Republican sources told Gellman.
“The state legislatures will say, ‘All right, we’ve been given this constitutional power,’” a Trump campaign legal adviser explained to the Atlantic. “‘We don’t think the results of our own state are accurate, so here’s our slate of electors that we think properly reflect the results of our state.’”

This is bone chilling scary shit, but it's real and it's believable.That's exactly what their plan has been all along. It wasn't until the pandemic struck. This is the 'finale' and they're going to get away with it. Don't think your votes are going to count because we may not even get the opportunity to cast them.
Here's the deciding factor as to whether we survive as a country or bend the knee to Putin. Our military. That's it.... where will our Generals' allegiances lie, with the president or with the preservation of democracy? If they refuse to follow the 'commander in chief' they will be considered traitors. If they decide to refuse his orders to kill American citizens and rebel, they will possibly be our own hope.
