Looks like the Claremont Institute was all in on the coup attempt!

‘Barely concealed bloodlust’: Claremont Institute laid out detailed plan for using cops to overturn Trump’s election loss

The right-wing Claremont Institute published a report in mid-October 2020 that gamed out a scenario where Donald Trump would remain in office through an alliance between law enforcement and militant extremists.

And golly gosh folks! Who do you think wrote that report?

The report was prepared by attorney John Eastman, who authored a memo laying out another strategy for keeping Trump in office, and former Trump deputy national security advisor K.T. McFarland, as well as Kevin Roberts, then-executive director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, alt-right figure Jeff Giesea and right-wing blogger Charles Haywood, reported The Bulwark.

There is a perverse kind of logic that if I by force overturn (ie steal/coup) an election then once im in the chair somehow everyone will recognize me as the legitimate president
