No - I get it. I just pulled articles from the recent news cycle. I try not to automatically disbelieve anyone…as the old saying goes “a broken clock is right twice a day.”
The larger point I was trying to make is that TIP was set up in part to address conspiratorial allusions that Trump will not peacefully transfer power when he loses the election. And then the article goes on to point out how certain policy changes are presented by the right as being associated with said left-wing coup attempt.
"Does anyone really believe, for instance, that Joe Biden, having lost the Electoral College, etc., etc. "
“But right-wingers have seized on such scenarios. etc., etc.”
But the policy changes given as evidence are actual policy goals of many Democrats both in Congress and across the country. In fact John Light’s post from today says essentially the same thing regarding future policy goals. I get that the notion of a coup attempt is absurd, but we cannot ignore the quote often attributed to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley: “Vote early, vote often.”
In the end we have a “conspiracy theory” that Trump won’t concede, which led to the TIP panel, which then led to the right promoting a “conspiracy theory” of a left wing coup in the event of a Trump victory based in part on “conspiracy theories” surrounding Soros and other globalists.
I feel we’re all being played.
