Democrats Plot An Insurrection To Stop ‘Insurrectionist’ Trump
Issues & Insights ^ | 26 Feb, 2024 | I & I Editorial Board

Posted on 02/26/2024 7:09:29 AM PST by MtnClimber

We’ve now reached peak Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Democrats are actually making plans to prevent Donald Trump from taking office even if he legitimately wins the election. In other words, they are plotting an insurrection to keep the man whom they claim is an insurrectionist out of the White House. Logic, common sense, the future of the country, all be damned.

How do we know this is what they are scheming? Because, as President Joe Biden’s poll numbers continue to drop, his mental and physical health rapidly deteriorate, and options to replace him on the ballot shrink, Democrats are openly talking about it.

The Colorado attorney arguing before the Supreme Court to keep Trump off that state’s ballot warned the justices that if they didn’t stop him from being elected “it could come back with a vengeance.”

An amicus brief filed by three law professors in the Colorado case warns that if the justices don’t rule on whether Trump is eligible or not to run for office under the 14th Amendment, and if Trump wins the election, “it is a virtual certainty that some members of Congress will assert his disqualification under Section 3” of the 14th Amendment.

And yes, it is a virtual certainty.

An article published in the Atlantic last week, titled “How Democrats Could Disqualify Trump If the Supreme Court Doesn’t,” begins by saying that: “Without clear guidance from the Court, House Democrats suggest that they might not certify a Trump win on Jan. 6.”

How could this happen? Well, Democrats could conceivably win back the House in November. Which means that they could refuse to certify the election results on the grounds that Trump is ineligible to serve because he’s an insurrectionist. They would, as the Atlantic puts it, “have to choose between confirming a winner many of them believe is ineligible and defying the will of voters who elected him.” (Aka, insurrection.)

Russell Berman, the author of the Atlantic piece, said that in his interviews with them, “senior House Democrats would not commit to certifying a Trump win.”

Never mind that Democrats have spent the past three years calling those Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election for Biden traitors and labeling those who protested Biden’s certification on Jan. 6, 2021, as insurrectionists.

And what would happen if Democrats defied voters and handed the election to Biden? Well, what do you think?

In their amicus brief, the law professors warn that neither Trump “nor his supporters, whose votes effectively will have been discarded as void, are likely to take such a declaration lying down.”

“The result,” these legal eagles say, “would invite chaos while risking great damage to the Court’s reputation and to the mation as a whole.”

That doesn’t seem to bother Democrats. Rep. Jamie Raskin told the Atlantic’s Berman “that the threat of violence could influence what Democrats do if Trump wins. But, Raskin added, it wouldn’t necessarily stop them from trying to disqualify him. ‘We might just decide that’s something we need to prepare for.’”

We have no doubt whatsoever that, should Trump win and Democrats try to defy the will of the voters in an honest election, they won’t be called insurrectionists. They will be heralded as “saviors of democracy.”

And if Trump wins and Democrats don’t try to deny him the White House, and violent protests will erupt on Capitol Hill demanding that Trump be denied a second term, these rioters won’t be called insurrectionists, either. They will be called “patriots who are trying to save the country.”

As we said, we’ve reached peak Trump Derangement Syndrome.

After the 2024 election, the losing side is going to totally freak out.

I predict widespread arson in urban centers including Washington, D.C.

I believe you’re right about that. A Biden/Democrat victory would be something I could not reconcile with any kind of future I want to be a part of. Kinda gets to the core of our national identity, and how we fit (or don’t fit) into it. As a whacked-out far-right Christian Nationalist Extremist, I just a.) want to to mind my own business, and b.) wish others would do the same. That’s not, however, how things have been trending...

They will show Trump and us how an insurrection is done! The J6 prisoners should then immediately be released!

I have said here on FR for a long while—when Trump wins in Nov, DC will be destroyed included the WH and other Fed buildings by those with TDS. Watch and see what happens. It will be a shameful day.

If the vote counters decide that Trump “lost” in November 2024, I see three possibilities:

1) Trump supporters show up in Washington in January 2025 and wave signs expressing their support.
2) Trump supporters put their head down and accept the full implementation a totalitarian regime, complete with a national police force wearing snazzy black uniforms.
3) Trump supporters show up in Washington in January 2025 without signs.

The first option is definitely not going to happen.
So it will be 2) or 3).

A move like that could put us on the verge of a civil war.

Even if country makes it to the election we surely won’t survive the aftermath...at least not as the country we all grew up in.
Prepare now. Get right with God. It’s almost too late.

I see 2 as the more likely event. Then things will proceed to guerilla tactics.

I’m going on record that after 24, America is officially dead.

I think they will make some additional unconstitutional moves on the big red states like Texas and Florida.
Seize the state governments and install more puppets.

disagree. we’re not at peak trump derangement syndrome yet.

itss guaranteed that any swing state with a close vote will shut down their voting in big Democratic cities.

it’s very likely that the democrats will not accept trump as president and do something in imitation of J6.

Oh, I don’t think we’re even close to peak TDS. Wait until this summer.

To call democrats (Rats) fascists, commies, Marxists, criminals, is the most understated in history.

They are so much more evil than just Satanists, hardened murderer criminals, they embody evil in every sense of the word. They are literally pure 100% evil through and through. Not a single good molecule resides in them at all.

If good is at one end of the spectrum, Rats are all the way at the other end of that same spectrum.

When the looting and arson by ANTIFA and BLM reach cities previously untouched, we will be close to the historic high of TDS. If Trump manages to beat the election fraud machine then all hell will break loose and that will be the new record high.
