[EL] What if...

[Smith, Brad]

Well, I will tell you-- just stop it. Or at least start making plans for the Democratic Party coup as well.

"What if Trump wins re-election without winning the popular vote, and Democrats plot a coup? We have to start to contemplate the possibility."

And why not? They're denouncing the Electoral College as illegitimate, making unsupported claims of stolen elections, etc etc.) Surely you won't tell me to stop it? After all, eternal vigilance and all that...

P.S. If you mean von Papen, I don't think he ever said "it can't happen here." In fact, his mistaken strategy was based in considerable part on the fear that, otherwise, it could happen there. And of course he ended up serving as Vice Chancellor in the Third Reich.

That’s what Van Poppen said in 1932,“It can’t happen here!”

Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom and planning for the most outrageous contingencies is not inappropriate.

After all, our military does have a contingency to invade Canada. Would Mr. Smith tell them to “stop it?"

Stop. Just stop.

Or maybe run this headline: "Democrats, without evidence, suggest that Trump may refuse to leave White House if he loses."

How about, "What if Trump wins re-election and Democrats refuse to accept the result, engage in mass rioting in the streets? We have to start to contemplate the possibility."

Or, "What if Trump rips off his mask, and is really Kang (or Kodos)? We have to start to contemplate the possibility."

No, better my first impulse. Just stop.

This model had been fraying long before the Trump presidency. Labor unions, under sustained attack from the right, suffered a steep decline in membership and clout over the latter half of the 20th century. Public charities continued to proliferate, but as progress on racial integration stalled out and levels of economic inequality and partisan polarization crept up and up, many on the left began to question whether a court-centric approach was capable of producing lasting social change.

The 2016 election pushed these concerns past the breaking point. Thousands upon thousands of well-established public charities, after all, didn’t translate into robust voter turnout. Nor did they halt the ascent of a demagogue. And with Brett Kavanaugh’s recent confirmation, whatever remained of the left’s faith in the Supreme Court as an engine of justice has crumbled. While lawsuits may be crucial for challenging certain flagrant abuses of power, many resistance groups feel compelled to participate directly in the rough-and-tumble of electoral politics.

And so they have turned to … section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Many of the key groups founded to resist Trump, including Indivisible Project, Onward Together, Our Revolution, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Stand Up America, and Women’s March, are abandoning the 501(c)(3) public-charity route and incorporating as 501(c)(4) “social welfare” organizations instead. Social-welfare organizations are also exempt from federal income tax, but they have fewer fiscal privileges. Donations to them are not deductible. Yet unlike public charities, they may lobby as much as they wish, and they may engage in partisan political work—from asking candidates to sign pledges to registering like-minded voters to endorsing specific pieces of legislation—as long as that work is not their “primary” purpose or activity (a requirement so hard to define and enforce that, in the words<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2furldefense.proofpoint.com%2fv2%2furl%3fu%3dhttps-3A__www.nytimes.com_roomfordebate_2013_05_15_does-2Dthe-2Dirs-2Dscandal-2Dprove-2Dthat-2D501c4s-2Dshould-2Dbe-2Deliminated_the-2Dirs-2Dshould-2Deliminate-2D501c4-2Dorganizations%26d%3dDwMF-g%26c%3dgAzS7Z2sPulVLgfP0R9Uzw%26r%3d-CRNZSPErWVMB5V0bj2p75oYF76E4WXiXcL2AHUhNTY%26m%3dMkYFjaN653n5jRzwbgA_aym44Hs5bYbk1Yo__0Vbh2k%26s%3dt_O-fzScaut4I00Jm9I-dTX3zj_2f3eRgfX3eHRRMnA%26e%3d&c=E,1,fRVLVfzn7JOerqTx9YAcCqqs-cTwR8qQ6uWXhMmuJpxIop4O3bS8G_DvEfZfzfn8jl2BJAqkwlHzNNqCM5sVzx_Ddn4Txx-w7n3zpJH8xBL3ig,,&typo=1> of one leading nonprofit tax scholar, it “virtually invites wholesale noncompliance”).

The probe has delayed the certification of Harris’s narrow victory in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, and the state officials could decide to call for a new election. Harris and Democrat Dan McCready are separated by 905 votes, according to unofficial returns.

But Hoyer’s comments throw into doubt whether, if Harris’s win is ultimately certified, he would be sworn in as a member.

The House GOP campaign arm suffered a major hack during the 2018 election, exposing thousands of sensitive emails to an outside intruder, according to three senior party officials.

The email accounts of four senior aides at the National Republican Congressional Committee were surveilled for several months, the party officials said. The intrusion was detected in April by an NRCC vendor, who alerted the committee and its cybersecurity contractor. An internal investigation was initiated and the FBI was alerted to the attack, said the officials, who requested anonymity to discuss the incident.

However, senior House Republicans — including Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) — were not informed of the hack until POLITICO contacted the NRCC on Monday with questions about the episode. Rank-and-file House Republicans were not told, either.

It’s hard to make progress when you have both hands tied behind your back a third of the time. Voters want more secure and better functioning elections, and Congress can act right now to accomplish that. In the swirl of election security concerns, ballot design problems, and vote counting confusion, the Senate should take up the two pending nominees to the United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC) before adjourning this month….

Why do we need a quorum at the EAC? A fully functioning Commission would likely move new voting systems guidelines soon after being reconstituted. These guidelines have not received substantial revisions since 2005. The Commission has been hard at work at a revamped set of guidelines since it regained a quorum in 2014. Those revisions are nearly complete but require commissioners to vote on implementation. Additionally, a quorum would allow the Commission to more effectively lead on election security, voter registration modernization, and expanding access to voting while preserving the integrity of the system.

Wisconsin lawmakers are set to take up plans Tuesday to diminish the powers of the incoming Democratic governor and attorney general that brought opponents to the state Capitol this week to protest on its steps and pound on hearing room doors.

To Democrats, the plan is a repudiation of the Nov. 6 election that felled Gov. Scott Walker and swept Democrats into state offices. To Republicans, it’s the only way to ensure major changes enacted over the past eight years won’t evaporate overnight.

Republican lawmakers will huddle behind closed doors Tuesday as they finalize their plans to clip the powers of Gov.-elect Tony Evers and incoming Attorney General Josh Kaul, limit early voting and give Republicans control of the state’s job-creation agency.
