There's a lot here, but what stands out to me is how explicitly the Claremont-types now view the Proud Boys as the GOP's shock troopers. https://thebulwark.com/notes-on-an-authoritarian-conspiracy-inside-the-claremont-institutes-79-days-to-inauguration-report/… via @BulwarkOnline

Notes on an Authoritarian Conspiracy: Inside the Claremont Institute’s “79 Days to Inauguration”...

The sun rises on January 6, 2021 while a nation is in crisis.

Michigan’s presidential electors are in dispute after a mysterious fire in Detroit destroyed thousands of mail-in ballots, ultimately throwing the election to Congress.

The nation’s capital is overwhelmed by riots organized by left-wing radicals.

A Republican member of Congress is attacked and critically injured in the violence, potentially depriving Donald Trump of the decisive vote.

However, the representative heroically insists on being taken to the House floor. “With IVs and blood transfusions being administered, the member casts the deciding vote, giving Trump 26 state delegations and the needed majority.”

This is the grisly climax of a report published in mid-October 2020 by the Claremont Institute and Texas Public Policy Foundation’s (TPPF) called “79 Days to Inauguration,” prepared by “Constitutional scholars, along with experts in election law, foreign affairs, law enforcement, and media . . . coordinated by a retired military officer experienced in running hundreds of wargames.”

GQPers are feverishly polishing their gun barrels praying for a cleansing of the heretics.

I didn't make it to the end. I was afraid there'd be BDSM fantasies about Pelosi and AOC.
