Premise: trump tries to hijack the government with false claims of national security threats and election tampering.
I like the idea that we game out alternative strategies to possible maneuvers in order to create an effective counter strategy.
Here's a possible scenario:
trump knows for sure he loses the election; that may occur before the polls close or perhaps after the polls close but before Biden/Harris take office.
A large Black Lives Matter demonstration happens in D. C. Several armed provocateurs in the demontration shoot at the Nazi armed militia standing near the demonstrators. The militia fires back killing several protestors.
Barr calls in the heavily armed ICE and DHS secret police to 'secure order'. Police kill and/or beat hundreds.
trump declares a national emergency and declares election invalid.
Federal troops surround the white house and prevent access.
trump announces a temporary suspension of the election in a national speech. He arrests Biden and Harris.
OR, another scenario:
A large bomb explodes at a Republican meeting killing 200 or 300 men, women and children.
A fake BLM spokesperson claims responsibility for the explosion.
Repeat above:
Barr calls in the heavily armed ICE and DHS secret police to 'secure order'. Police kill and/or beat hundreds.
trump declares a national emergency and declares election invalid.
Federal troops surround the white house and prevent access.
trump announces a temporary suspension of the election in a national speech. He arrests Biden and Harris.
DC Mayor can stop the coup by demanding the Federal troops exit the city and relying on city Police to control the situation.
My point is to prepare for the possibilities so we do not respond poorly. I hope we are doing this preparation now.
