This is stupid. The Left accepted the results of the 2016 election. Trump has been president for 4 years. They didn't like it, they've been critical of him. They've attempted to hold him accountable for his corruption, which Trump himself opened himself up to, but none of that is not accepting the win.

We're not talking about merely being unhappy and playing politics because someone is in office. We're talking about ignoring the will of the voters completely if he loses. Would you accept that? If Trump lost Florida or PA or Ohio, and Trump gets the electors to vote for him anyway, that would literally be the end of our democracy. How can you be okay with that? How can you call yourself an American and defend that?

Not only that but they actually did it in 2016.

Even so far as a bunch of Dem celebrities making a video imploring electors to cast faithless votes if Trump won their states.

This is the kind of stuff that sends people over the edge.

These people have no plans to make life better in America - so they make up fearful scenarios and scare people to death to get their vote. The right probably does this as well to some extent - but like I said before, the left weaponizes people through fear and mental anguish.
Attack the source because you can't defend the content.

So let's hear it... even if you believe the source is fake news, if something like that happened, would you defend it? Would you be party to the end our of democracy just because you hate your political opponents?

They should change their name to the National Inquirer if it wasn't already taken.

The Trump campaign is discussing plans to ask state representatives to set aside the election results in their state and select Trump electors *even if Trump loses the vote in their state.*

I wish this were just another dumb conspiracy theory, but sadly, it isn't. I know a Republican with Ohio's EC who has already been approached by the Trump campaign about this, apparently to suss out those loyal to him and willing to subvert the voters should he lose.
Good, democrats are trying to steal the election -- if they weren't they would not give Trump this opportunity to object to results that don't go his way.

Such an act would fit the very definition of a political coup, and while there are a lot of traitors in Trumper and Republican circles who would excuse it, many would not let American democracy go without a fight.




You mean like the death threats the electors got from Dems in 2016?

So how exactly do I know an Ohio elector, a Republican, who has been approached about this very proposal? Are you all so far up Trump's *** that you can't even entertain the possibility of him ever doing anything wrong?

You know that leftists are getting desperate. They are upset that the Supreme Court vacancy has derailed their Covid narrative, which they hoped to use from now until election day, so they have to try to cook up something else.

Also, OP, your thread would be more serious if you showed as much concern when Democrats were openly threatening and trying to coerce GOP electors to change their votes from Trump to Hillaryin 2016
