to maintain the peaceful transfer of power.

Even the nuttiest of the teabaggers and other crazies can't take down the entire US government.

7 Days in May was just a movie.

It Can't Happen Here was just a book.

1984, though...

But I don’t think he will succeed. Despite all our country’s problems, there are enough people in positions of power that if he does attempt that, he will be quickly thrown out on his ass and likely imprisoned.

Edit to add: I think it is far more likely he engages Russia and other hostile nations to take even more insidious action in order to rig the 2020 election. And then he will again obstruct and rig the inevitable investigations.


I hope age and obesity catch him sooner rather than later.

when the new President takes the oath of office, the loyalties of the Secret Service immediately shift to the new President. If need be, the Secret Service will drag Trump from the White House in cuffs.

Everyone in federal service - the Secret Service, US Marshals, the military, etc. - take an oath to defend the Constitution. They can be counted on to comply with their oaths.

The bigger danger is that people with NPD often try to take as many people down with them.

School shooter E*** H***** is a prime example.

Invoke the 25th amendment and have Pence take over till the January inaugaration day.

If Pence goes berzerk too, then do the same thing and then swear Nancy in as President.

Geeze, it'll be SO NICE to have an adult in the White House again!
