Even so far as a bunch of Dem celebrities making a video imploring electors to cast faithless votes if Trump won their states.
Except that didn't happen and Trump became president. And you clearly didn't read the link. It's about replacing the electors completely with those loyal to Trump to vote against their state results if he loses them.

Would you support that if he did it?

Maybe we can have all these "will Trump accept the election results if he loses" threads combined in to one of those super threads so we don't have to see a new one every few days?
/not just this thread, but every other dumb thread that pops up claiming some nefarious plans that Trump has in store if he doesn't win ala accusations in 2016 that showed us who didn't want to accept their loss..

Name any way that Democrats are trying to steal the election, with any specific example whatsoever. You have nothing and you know it. You're just another traitor to your country.

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?
Who in the hell do you think you're kidding? They haven't accepted it for 4 years!

They literally played underhanded and threatened and otherwise tried to coerce electors to vote against Donald Trump in 2016 after he defeated Hillary Clinton. And they tried to steal the election via the courtroom, too. You can expect more of the same. It's the Dems' M.O.

We need receipts. Anyone can say that they know someone or heard someone say something.

You are on an anonymous board on the internet. LOL

Regarding the "coup," another ridiculous sensationalist TDS type of thing. Both sides have their frantic, gasping, out of breath drama they accuse the other of doing.

The Trump administration wants to hold onto power, just like the Democrats will do anything for power. Both sides want power, and want to keep it.

A coup? Highly doubtful and some sensationalism going on there.

I would be more likely to believe the Democrats want to fudge the numbers with mail-in voting. Now that's likely to happen. Maybe not on a scale that is widespread, but that's definitely a strategy they are pushing forward to try and win.

It was not from the Democratic Party. Political parties cannot control every yahoo and nut claiming to be acting on their behalf. And that's a hell of a big difference from an acting president and political party working in tandem to completely replace electors so they'll vote against state results. This is especially true given that SCOTUS ruled on this issue just this year, saying that so-called "faithless electors" cannot vote against the will of the people in their states. No wonder why they want to replace RBG as fast as possible.

You do realize that the majority of people say they want the winner of the election to replace the pick, right? Also, Covid didn't go away. Apparently, your only news sources are cartoons because adults know this stuff already.

What legal actions did democrats take to overturn the results of the 2016 election?

I don't think such a thing would happen as it would cause chaos and all out war and people would lose faith in the electrical system.

Exactly what Putin dreams scenario would be and it would be litigated in the courts and Trump wouldn't be considered a legitimate president.
