Originally published at: Forget Election Day: Trump Campaign Senior Adviser Says It’s Not Over ‘Til Inauguration Day - TPM – Talking Points Memo

One of the top officials on former President Donald Trump’s campaign let slip during the Republican National Convention on Thursday that 2024 may bring another attempt by his side to contest the results. The result of a presidential election can be challenged and changed up until Inauguration Day, Trump campaign senior advisor Chris LaCivita suggested.…

“There is a well-documented report that talks about all of the efforts that the Democrats had in place in 2020 … about ways to prevent if Donald Trump had quote on quote won. So, like I said we plan for every worse case scenario. That way we are ready for it,” LaCivita said.

Truth should never be timeworn and it is no cliche to once again assert that, for Republicans (AKA authoritarians), every accusation is a confession.

It’s over when the states certify the results, on or about December 14, 2024.
Everything else is bullshit.

This sounds like a clear call for Biden to use official acts that have been granted immunity by the Supreme Court to prevent the unlawful disruption of the transition of power.

They need to assume that Trump will contest everything, say it was rigged, etc. and prepare for the worst. It will likely be violent, and if it is, the violence needs to be dealt with extremely harshly and suddenly. No escalation of appropriate measures. Mobs that form need to be met with severe and sudden responses.

2024 GOP: “We’re literally going to kill you.”

Press Corpse (sic): “So refreshing in politics to hear someone tell it like it is!”

If they march on the Capitol I suspect this time the response of the Capitol Police will be different,

And this is a surprise because?

In the long ago world that I still think in terms of, this would at least get Mr. LaCivita fired.
Ain’t happening now, so I must need some serious reeducation.

So glad that our sheepish media are going along with the fascist threats. “Oh OK.”

Hmm, when do we get to, “We win because we say so.”
It’s such a strong subtext someone’s surely gonna put it on the table.

[tmulcaire]

So the guy who tried to overthrow the government because he lost the election inn 2020 is now vowing to do the same thing in 2024.

That sounds kind of bad. Maybe the newspapers should report on it or something.

Breaking News: Republicans condemned Democrats for inciting violence against Trump, after some Democrats claimed Republicans planned to overthrow the government if they lose the 2024 election.

Yeah, I wouldn’t think that’ll bode well for his campaign, will it?

We’ve really been there since 1992, when Bill Clinton was “illegitimate.”

Retrospectively, it looks like we’ve been trending in this direction for a long time.
So much of W’s administration was just abhorrent.

Fascism is on the march!

[b3ttyped]

Press is so lame… to me it sounds like they’re expecting to lose. Why not confront them with that very reality every single time.

[dont]

Definitely, an evergreen.
