re: #219 wrenchwench

Investigations are continuing. Everything found is campaign fodder. Damage continues either way. A coup is not imminent. I could be wrong, but what if I was?

If you define “coup” as the tanks-rolling-in-the-street version, then no, we’re not there…but if you use the “slow-moving coup” version, yes, it’s already underway (in fact, I daresay it started when malevolent turtle mcconnell vowed to block and kneecap Obama at every turn).

Georgia’s gubernatorial race was stolen (not by Russian ratfuckery, but good-old-fashioned GOPer suppression). And maybe Florida was as well (depending on how deep the Russian ratfuckery in certain counties went).

So…yes…I’m extremely worried about election fraud/voter suppression unlike anything the US has ever seen next year, simply because GOPers stand to benefit. Televised impeachment hearings now (and scorched-earth fines/arrest policies against supoeana-dodgers) at least stand a chance of revealing so much crime that even a few other GOPers will follow Amash’s lead.
