A potential plan by Republican leaders to steal the 2024 presidential election. The plan involves delaying the certification of election results in key battleground states, potentially decreasing the overall number of electors appointed and allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency through a contingent election, whereby the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, determines the president.

An actual coup like this would deserve an actual counter coup in response. Whatever form that takes.

SCOTUS ruled that the president can do whatever he wants and that means he should use that power to remove the 6 conservative judges, Trump, and the others attempting a coup on the nation. Using the power to stop a real coup would be looked upon favorably in the future, but Biden won't because he still thinks that there is some kind of middle ground that can be reached with Republicans.
