One Week After Details Of Trump's Plan To Overthrow America Were Revealed, The Press Is Silent

- Daily Kos, Sept. 28, 2021.

One week ago, a memo was revealed showing a detailed scheme, prepared at the White House and discussed in the Oval Office, by which the former sitting executive proposed to overturn the results of the election and remain in office indefinitely. That plan wasn’t an argument about the needs of the nation in the midst of some emergency. It didn’t even claim that there was actual fraud in the election. It was simply the step-by-step means by which the electoral votes of multiple states would not be acknowledged.

Those in control of the United States of America made a plan to end the United States of America. To end the whole concept of a representative democracy. To destroy the republic.

Had the effort to fundamentally end the nation been limited to a memo circulating through the highest levels in government, it still would have represented the largest threat to the nation since the Civil War—easily greater than the threat posed by any foreign enemy. But it wasn’t just a memo. Attorney John Eastman’s plan was built on pieces that the GOP had already been putting into place to transform America from a democracy to authoritarian dictatorship.

For example, on Dec. 14, Republicans in Georgia told the media that they were having a closed-door meeting with educators about the ongoing pandemic. They were not. As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported at the time, they were actually meeting to elect a “shadow slate of electors” who were put in place expressly “to preserve Trump’s legal challenges.”

It wasn’t just Eastman. It wasn’t just the Oval Office. The memo was just one clear description of a scheme that went on across the country to bring down the American government. And one week later, the media is completely ignoring the biggest story in the nation’s history.

What do we know of Trump’s efforts to sever the line of elections that goes back to the nation’s founding?
