attempted Coup d’Etat happening right now in this Country. Our future as
a Constitutional Republic is legitimately at stake, and whether we

first and foremost on everyone’s mind. For supporters of President
Trump, to aid and abet what he is doing would be to give up America as a
Constitutional Republic for eternity in order to hold power for four
more years. While this might seem appetizing, understand that when it
turns against you, you will no longer have the protection of the
Constitution. This is how Countries end.
This
is the point where the Roman Republic turns into the Roman Empire.
Where the Shah is no more and the Ayatollah becomes the Supreme Leader,
where the Weimar Republic turns into Nazi Germany, where Venezuela turns
into Chavezuela. It will happen if people—all good people—don’t stand
up against it. The Country your kids will inherit is at stake.
Donald Trump lost the election fair and square. This is not actually in
dispute. There was no systemic fraud and there were no irregularities.
Nothing happened out of the ordinary. This was a landslide in terms of
popular vote and states. This bears no resemblance to 2000 when the
entire election came down to 600 votes in one state, and there were
legitimate issues of voter intent. That was a dispute that needed to be
resolved and was.
This
is an attempted theft of an election.
The Constitution, states’ laws, and precedent indicate that if there was
indeed a legitimate dispute and a State couldn’t certify their election
by December 14, State Legislatures could use that “uncertainty” to
Select their own slate of electors. There are Republican State
Legislatures in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona.
Trump doesn’t need to win in Court. He simply needs to tie things up in
enough of those states until December 14. That is why he is claiming
fraud and irregularities with no evidence. He told us months ago that if
he lost the election, he was going to do this. He is now doing it. It’s
all about his own power, and he would sacrifice our Country for it.
Sure,
if there were legitimate issues he has a right to have those
determined. What he doesn’t have a right to do is use the Constitution
to destroy the Constitution. That’s what he is doing. It’s worth noting
that a purge of sorts has also started. He fired the defense secretary
who refused to use the military against citizens. He’s threatening to
fire the head of the FBI and the CIA. He has stopped the GSA from
releasing transition funds to Biden’s team. Even if democracy wins, this
puts the Country and its continuity in peril.
This
is the time to fight like our future is at stake. It is. It’s incumbent
on all people—including Trump supporters and elected Republicans to put
the Country and the Constitution before his power. To not allow him to
create a crisis in order to maintain power in the face of an electoral
defeat.
Or America is no more. That’s not hyperbole. The Founders would be
horrified."
