Donald Trump's allies are panicking about what they say is a potential "coup" being organized by Mitch McConnell against the incoming president.
Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host and far-right hero, took to social media on Saturday to warn his 14.5 million followers about the purported plan.....
Summary
Donald Trump allies, including Tucker Carlson and Laura Loomer, are accusing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of orchestrating a “coup” against Trump’s agenda by scheduling early Senate GOP leadership elections.
Carlson, on social media, urged his followers to support Florida Senator Rick Scott as the only candidate aligned with Trump, warning that other candidates oppose Trump’s policies.
Loomer criticized Republicans for not addressing McConnell’s move sooner, suggesting that calls for party "unity" have enabled this alleged attempt to undermine Trump’s incoming administration.
We thought that the insanity would eventually make Trump and MAGA candidates unelectable. That hasn't happened yet, so I'm not sure if limiting it really matters.
The goal is to use the word coup often so that the word loses its punch, that way when an actual coup happens people will just shrug when it's reported and think it's just a minor occurrence.
It's so he can set some terms such as blind ballots, which really helps republicans align with democrats in choosing without fear of retaliation and that's why they're all losing their minds over this. Tucker Carlson is screaming at people to call their senators and demand that they back Rick Scott because now they have no control over how any republican chooses to vote.
So hopefully Mitch succeeds in turning the government into a total do-nothing circus despite Trump possibly controlling the supreme court and all three branches of the government. GOP might fucking implode like the Whigs finally, MAGA spending all their time and energy trying to unseat traditional republicans, that deal
I saw some professor online, saying that the first victims of fascists are the true believers of the party they grew out of, and to watch for that happening with the Republicans.
I know they do it intentionally to water down the meaning of the words, but if I didn't know better, I would think these people were so fucking stupid that they just repeat whatever word they've recently heard used in a negative context.
Also, the lies and projection in that article are too egregious for me to get through the whole thing.
A big part of Project 2025 is eliminating checks and balances, and consolidating power into the Whitehouse. That means taking power away from the house and senate, and from McConnell.
Wasn't he on the record criticizing Trump over j6 at some point? Might not have actually done anything about it, but that's probably incentive to at least want to avoid letting Trump go full dictator, lest he eventually find himself targeted for past disloyalty
Extremists in politics are like people with an automatic machine gun and they're always uncontrollably firing at perceived enemies .... once they bring someone down ... they keep firing, turn around and start shooting at someone else .. and on and on and on ... they always see enemies ... once they eliminate someone, they move on to the next until eventually they start shooting at you.
"Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds."
Vote is Nov 13, arranged a month ago which Laura Loomer thinks this was the plan all along.
