How Close Did Trump Get to Overthrow the Government in the US? Closer than you Think.

Trump treated the office of presidency like a CEO's office... thinking that he can simply refuse to go, and if he lost, he will simply refuse to admit he had lot, and find EVERY loophole and exploit every bit of vague language in the books to stay in power, including inciting a riot on January 6 to disrupt the electoral vote certification process for a proper transition of power. And the J6 committee's investigation is only now slowly uncovering the extent on how far he HAD gone. 

* Fact: Trump had pressured Mike Pense, his own VP, to refuse the electoral votes (that says Trump lost and Biden won), even though Constitutionally there is no such power given to the VP. 

* Fact: Trump allies believe in extreme readings of the Electoral Count Act, which defined the process of the presidential election. Trump allies told Trump that the individual state legislatures can send their own electoral college delegates instead of the ones that are bound by the actual state election results. At least seven states have sent a fraudulent list of electors to the National Archive claiming Trump had won, And many of these "fake electors" are Republican candidates for office in the upcoming election in November 2022. 

* Fact: Trump allies in red states believe in redrawing maps to keep Red states red and gerrymandering the locations in order to decrease the voting impact of their enemies, and are trying to prevent independent reviews of their actions by the courts or independent commissions by claiming the extreme reading of the Electoral Count Act. So far, SCOTUS (Supreme Court) has rejected such readings, but at least 3 justices like the idea. 

* Fact: Trump himself called state election commissions, outright ASKING them to FIND additional votes to make him the winner. In a recorded call, Trump called Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes so he wins that election. Georgia ended up counting the votes THREE TIMES, and certified the win for Biden TWICE. It is unknown if there are OTHER instances of this happening in other states... or whether any other state officials gave in to the pressure. 

* Fact: Trump allies, knowing they need to control the election process, so they can never lose again, are running for the election commission and other positions all over the US, in a bit to "ensure fairness" and look for fraud that was NEVER proven in 2020 election. Many of them STILL hold views that 2020 election was fraudulent, and it is very likely even if they don't see fraud in 2022, they will claim fraud ANYWAY because they can't accept being losers. 

* Fact: Trump KNEW and ENCOURAGED January 6 folks to gather up a knew they are likely to attempt to storm the capital. He may not know the extent, but many of Trump's associates predicted "things might get rea, real bad on Jan 6". including Mark Meadows, as early as Jan 2.  The Oath Keepers took Trump's tweet about making the Jan 6 protest "wild" as a call to action. 

This is an ORGANIZED conspiracy to destroy American democracy, and it is ONGOING. Many of the election deniers are running for office are are planning to continue endorsing Trump or Trump-y     candidates such as Abbott or DeSantis. 

Vote when November 2022 comes. Do NOT let them win.
