Another good and important read from Timothy Snyder. Especially for the cocky centrist democrats on this board who huff at any notion that the current coup may actually succeed. Listen to the warnings from experts who have spent a lifetime studying these things.

No, until he starts another holocaust then we have to just believe he's going to respect the thing he's openly refusing to respect.

Calling it what it is and not dismissing concerns as alarmist would be a start. Go troll elsewhere

If I had a nickel for every time someone on reddit said the military won't let trump get away with it...

The military will do what they are ordered to do, as has overwhelmingly been the case throughout history

The article makes a great point, if Trump succeeds they cant control what will happen.

Democrats are stupid if they think he cant succeed and Republicans are stupid if they think if he does itll just be business as usual.

probably the biggest thing protecting us is the hope that Republicans will realize that a civil war would ruin their political careers. I am hoping that soon some of them will start to figure out that it's time to stop enabling Trump.

How people feel won't matter if Trump is successful.

It would be armed insurrection or fleeing the country. Society is dead if Trump finds a way to win this.

what I am saying is he can't take power alone. he has to have support. and at some point the other republicans will realize that it is not in their best interests to give him that power. if he actually became a dictator most of the current members of the republican party would probably not even survive the coup. there would be a culling and even people who think they are loyal members would be deemed unworthy

Sure, but they likely think they will survive and will be rewarded. If they haven't realised Trump doesn't care about them yet, they aren't going to.

You have not done step one yet, not even facetiously.
