What is happening is not a coup, or even an attempt at a coup but a ham-handed effort to discredit the election outcome by any crackpot method available to sooth Trump’s ego. Scholars of real coups in other countries say that Trump has few of the ingredients necessary to pull off a coup — the international community despises him, the nation’s main media is still independent, an the armed forces think Trump is a joke. However, Trump is set to successfully pursue a slow-motion “con game,” pleading for donations by playing his supporters. He’s also crafting a “Stab in the Back” myth in hopes of returning to the WH in 2024.There is a fundamental difference between between a coup and a con. A coup is an illegitimate power grab by force. A con is a mostly criminal, unethical, or manipulative act. A con can become a coup if the con is successful — if enough people buy into the con then a Coup has occurred.
Though Trump will fail in his coup - this time - the fact that his fellow Republicans tacitly approved of his methods, or looked the other way dramatically weakens our Democratic Institutions. As Trump continues to spew crazy conspiracies, half truths, and outright lies more and more Republican voters will drift into delusion and violence.

The Ultra Conservative New York Post gave Trump a blistering rebuke demanding that he grow up and accept his loss to President-elect Joe Biden and stop falsely claiming that mass voter fraud had marred the results — an effort the paper labeled a “dark charade.”
“We understand, Mr. President, that you’re angry that you lost,” the editorial board wrote. “But to continue down this road is treasonous.”
Under the headline “Stop the insanity,” the conservative tabloid took particular aim at Trump’s attempts to pressure Vice President Pence and congressional Republicans to somehow Throwout the result when they meet on Jan. 6 to certify Biden’s electoral college victory.
“You have tweeted that, as long as Republicans have ‘courage,’ they can overturn the results and give you four more years in office,” the Post wrote. “In other words, you’re cheering for an undemocratic coup.”
The article also reminded Trump that he had clearly failed in his attempts to prove voter fraud propelled Biden to victory.
“You had every right to investigate the election. But let’s be clear: Those efforts have found nothing,” the Post wrote, noting that Trump-backed recounts in Wisconsin and Georgia had turned up no evidence of malfeasance.
The editorial also lashed out at Sidney Powell, whose “Kraken” lawsuits seeking to overturn the election results have repeatedly been tossed out of court, and Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser who has floated the idea of declaring martial law to keep Trump in power.
“Michael Flynn suggesting martial law is tantamount to treason. It is shameful.”

TREASONOUS TRUMP PARDONS THE WHO’S WHO OF SWAMP CREATURES
Trump used his pardon power to help his supporters, fundraisers, and those that committed crimes for him.
The latest round of pardons and commutations — 143 in total — followed dozens last month, when Mr. Trump pardoned associates like Paul Manafort and Roger J. Stone Jr., and four Blackwater guards convicted in connection with the killing of Iraqi civilians.
* Stephen K. Bannon, his former chief strategist. Bannon was headed to jail for stealing $1 million dollars from a Build the Wall Charity promoted by Bannon and Don Jr.
* Elliott Broidy, Trump’s top fund-raisers in 2016. Mr. Broidy pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to violate foreign lobbying laws as part of a covert campaign to influence the Trump administration on behalf of the Chinese Government. Mr. Brody accepted $9 million from the Chinese to lobby Trump. After Mr. Trump’s victory, Mr. Broidy aggressively promoted his connections to the new administration to politicians, business executives and governments around the world. A defense company he owns won big contracts from the United Arab Emirates and Angola. And Mr. Broidy discussed the possibility of a visit to Mar-a-Lago, the president’s private resort in Florida, for an Angolan politician from whom he was seeking to collect additional payments. He also was involved along with several others — including the lawyer of Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner — in what prosecutors described as a scheme to offer a bribe in exchange for clemency for a convicted tax criminal, according to court documents unsealed in December.
* Rick Renzi, Republican, was sentenced in 2013 to 3 years in jail for a bribery scheme involving an Arizona land swap deal.
* Robert Hayes, GOP Chairman NC, pleaded guilty in 2019 to lying to the F.B.I. about a bribery scandal involving a state insurance commissioner donating $2 million towards his reelection campaign — in exchange for the removal of another official involved in the regulation of GOP donor and co-defendant Greg Lindberg’s private-equity company.
* Randall “Duke” Cunningham, Republican, who pleaded guilty in 2005 to taking $2.4 million in bribes from military
* M. Kilpatrick, a former Detroit mayor who was convicted in 2013 for using his office to enrich himself and his family through shakedowns, kickbacks and bid-rigging schemes.
* William T. Walters, a wealthy sports gambler convicted on charges related to his role in an insider-trading scheme. Mr. Walters hired Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer John M. Dowd in 2018. Mr. Dowd bragged to Mr. Walters and others that he could help them receive a pardon because of his close relationship with the president.
* Paul Erickson, Republican Influence Peddler and former boyfriend of the Russian operative Maria Butina. Mr. Erickson was convicted last July of wire fraud and money laundering and sentenced to 84 months in prison on charges that related to his work in 2017 on a business deal in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.
* Dr. Salomon E. Melgen, who ran a series of clinics in Florida that fraudulently told Medicare patients that they had eye diseases and then performed medically unnecessary tests and procedures, falsely billing the federal government at least $42 million, according to prosecutors.
* Ken Kurson, a friend and associate of Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who was arrested late last year on cyberstalking.
* George Gilmore, Republican, who was convicted last January of failure to file payroll taxes for employees and bank fraud.
* Anthony Levandowski, the former Uber executive who pleaded guilty to stealing driverless-car plans when he left Google to form a company, which Uber then acquired.
* Sholam Weiss, who was sentenced to more than 800 years in prison in 2000 for racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering related to a huge insurance fraud scheme.
* Eliyahu Weinstein, who was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison in 2014 for a real estate Ponzi scheme that prosecutors said caused $200 million in losses.
* Robert Zangrillo, a Miami real estate developer who was charged with conspiring with a college consultant to bribe athletic officials at the University of Southern California to designate his daughter as a recruit to the crew team.
* Aviem Sella, a former Israeli Air Force officer who was indicted by the United States in 1987 on espionage charges that he recruited the convicted spy Jonathan Jay Pollard to collect U.S. military secrets for Israel.
Treasonous Trump loves criminals just like him.
