Index of Republican and Trump coup articles

Out of all of the Trump administration's scandals and illegal behavior, history will judge it most severely for his coup attempt to steal the 2020 election.

Republicans began preparations for this coup attempt at least as early as June 2020, when they sabotaged the Postal Service to rig mail-in voting efforts. Trump, long in advance of the election, made it clear his intent was to make sure as many mail-in votes as possible were "lost" via sabotage and challenge the validity of the remaining mail-in votes in the courts.

Coup preparations continued when Republicans packed the Supreme Court with Amy Barrett. She was confirmed to the court before the old judge was even buried--only a week before the end of the election and after 60 million Americans had already voted.

Despite Trump appointing hundreds of far-right judges, the courts threw out his attempts to challenge mail-in votes. Trump lost by a hefty margin of over 7 million votes and 74 electoral votes, but this did not stop Trump and the Republican party from disputing the results.

As Trump's attempts became more desperate and deranged, he attempted to prevent states from certifying their votes. Republicans in the state Congresses of Pennsylvania and elsewhere considered the feasibility of simply bypassing the popular vote and directly awarding electors to Trump. This original plan was rejected, but Republicans attempted to use fake electors to cast "alternate votes" in the Electoral College. 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives joined 18 Republican state Attorneys General to attempt to throw out the votes in swing states.

After 4 years of downplaying the crimes of Trump and the Republican administration, as his attempts to steal the election became too insane to ignore, American and international media outlets were willing to call his coup attempt a coup attempt. Some Democrat politicians have even been willing to call this a coup attempt.

While many journalists and media outlets continued to gaslight us and tell us what was happening wasn't a coup, convicted criminal General Michael Flynn urged Trump to impose martial law to steal the election. This occurred only weeks after Trump pardoned Flynn. He was joined by Sidney Powell, a lawyer on the Trump campaign team (who was previously kicked out of the campaign team for being too insane, even for them). Powell went further and called for "military tribunals" to overthrow the election. High ranking military leaders found it necessary to comment that they will not intervene in the election.

Soon after, Trump himself asked his advisors about the feasibility of implementing Flynn's military coup plan. All 10 former Secretaries of Defense (including war criminals Cheney and Rumsfeld) signed a letter urging against a military coup. On January 6th, 2021, 147 Republican members of Congress voted in favor of the coup by attempting to reject lawful electoral votes in "swing states" which voted for Biden. That same day, Trump incited his supporters to storm the Capitol building where the vote was taking place, causing Congress to evacuate. Both before and after the storming of the Capitol, dozens of additional Congressmen in both parties explicitly called the events of January 6th a coup attempt, sedition, and insurrection.

As more evidence emerges, it becomes increasingly clear that the insurrection was an inside job involving far more people than just Trump's inner circle. Representative Lauren Boebert and potentially other Congress members gave "reconnaissance" tours to groups before the insurrection. Representatives Biggs, Gosar, and Brooks (and likely Boebert and Greene) worked extensively with Ali Alexander, a far-right activist who advocated for the insurrection and who led one of the rallies organized outside of the Capitol. Biggs and Gosar have even sought a pardon from Trump regarding their involvement, although Trump declined. Panic buttons installed after previous death threats were removed from Representative Ayanna Pressley's office shortly before the insurrection. By design, doing this without raising suspicion would require someone with knowledge of the Capitol security systems. Insurrectionists were able to raid unmarked offices and offices which were difficult-to-find, even for Capitol employees, leading many members of Congress to call the event an inside job.

***

Separately from the coup attempt surrounding the 2020 election, the Republican party had, years prior, successfully carried out a type of coup called a "self-coup", where a lawfully-established government moves to unlawfully change or disregard procedures in order to exceed the powers granted to them. In this situation, Republicans intentionally and successfully managed to operate outside of the Constitution in all three branches of government (although they lost control of the House of Representatives in January 2019).

The timeline of the self-coup is not as clear as the 2020 coup. Major events include the sabotage of Congressional investigations into Trump's crimes (e.g. by people like Devin Nunes), packing the federal courts (recall that McConnell had prevented Obama from nominating a Supreme Court judge and hundreds of lower court judges, in order to "save" them for Trump), the hiring of Attorney General Barr to cover up the Mueller Investigation, and the announcement by Republican Senators that they would not be impartial jurors in the impeachment trial and acquit Trump regardless of the evidence.

In the Executive branch, Trump has constantly done Putin's bidding (especially when Trump brazenly sided with our enemy, Russia, over US intelligence agencies during the "Helsinki treason summit"), yet these actions only gave Trump more popularity within the Republican party. Facts such as these were some of the most obvious red flags that our system of government had changed.

***

Due to the magnitude of these events, most posts on this blog over the past few years have focused on compiling and summarizing information regarding these coups.

The following is an index of articles I have published related to the 2020 coup attempt and the prior Republican self-coup. These are mostly compilations of news articles with some commentary. I do not claim that this is an exhaustive analysis of the coups.



Republican self-coup:

Republican election rigging and coup, part 3. November 1, 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/11/republican-election-rigging-and-coup.html

     Summary: I briefly give further elaboration on why the self-coup is a different event from the 2020 election coup attempt. See the description of this article under the "2020 coup" heading for more detail.


More people are recognizing the Republican coup. October 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/10/more-people-are-recognizing-republican.html

     Summary: I for the first time distinguish the prior Republican self-coup from the unfolding 2020 election coup attempt preparations and outline various events in the self-coup. See description of this article under the "2020 coup" heading for more detail.


There must be a Presidential Crimes Commission. September 6, 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/09/there-must-be-presidential-crimes.html

     Summary: This article covers how some politicians have called for a Crimes Commission or Tribunal after the Trump administration leaves office, in order to fully root out all of the corruption and crimes that have taken place over the past 4 years. It does not directly address the coup, but it is obvious that the participants in the coup will never be brought to justice without a Crimes Commission. The second part of the blog post gives a brief overview of how presidential administrations since Nixon have been above the law and been emboldened to commit increasingly more heinous crimes. From Watergate, to Iran-Contra (which Attorney General Barr covered up), to failure to impeach Bush for Iraq war crimes, to Attorney General Barr returning to cover up the Mueller Report. The Biden administration can choose to rid us of the cancerous corruption that has been growing, or it will be encouraging its growth by turning a blind eye to it.


Yearly recap: protests, pandemic, and impeachment. July 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/07/yearly-recap-protests-pandemic-and.html

     Summary: The section "Trump's impeachment failed, but the Republican coup has succeeded" provides a brief recap of how the Republican self-coup is fully entrenched in the wake of the failed Senate impeachment trial.


It Can Happen Here - Trump's rhetoric is priming the stage to move beyond a "soft coup". June 2019.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2019/06/it-can-happen-here-trumps-rhetoric-is.html

      Summary: If one of the major political parties and all of the respective conservative/liberal media outlets had all of a sudden begun supporting the USSR during the Cold War, we would have called it a coup. I make a list of various times Trump has claimed the Mueller Investigation and other vague things are a "coup attempt" against him. I outline some of the ways the Republican party has been covering up Trump's crimes, declare we are in the midst of a Republican coup, and outline why impeachment must begin immediately.


You can't resist something if you want it to succeed. September 2018.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2018/09/you-cant-resist-something-if-you-want.html

     Summary: On September 5, 2018, an anonymous article was published in the New York Times by a senior Republican administration official claiming they were "resisting" Trump by preventing his administration from collapsing on itself. Unhinged right-wing pundits suggested this was evidence a "soft coup" had taken place against Trump. In reality, it was one of the first declarations that a Republican self-coup to further empower the Trump administration had taken place.


The New Cold War. August 2018.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-new-cold-war.html

     Summary: Not directly related to the self-coup, but this article outlines how we are in the midst of a new Cold War with Russia. Far from wanting post-Cold-War reconciliation, Russia views the US as an enemy and by giving them aid and comfort, Trump and the Republican party are committing treason. This ties into the themes of the "It Can Happen Here" post.


2020 election coup attempt:

Trump sabotages the Postal Service to rig the election. August 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/08/trump-sabotages-postal-service-to-rig.html

     Summary: An outline of Trump's motives to sabotage mail-in voting. Trump explicitly announces he wants to prevent mail-in votes from being counted. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is brought in to oversee the sabotage of the Postal Service. Removal and destruction of mail sorting machines began as early as June 2020. DeJoy implemented changes in leadership positions in the Postal Service to minimize resistance. Obama declares Trump is attempting to suppress votes.


Trump sabotages the Postal Service to rig the election - part 2. September 2, 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/09/trump-sabotages-postal-service-to-rig.html

     Summary: DeJoy claims he will stop implementing changes, but the damage has long been done. 95% of machines scheduled for removal have already been removed. Articles show many machines have been intentionally dismantled in a way to make them difficult to reassemble, sold for mere scrap metal (despite being worth millions of dollars and the Postal Service allegedly removing the machines for budget cuts), or left to rust in the rain. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are implicated in this debacle. Some post offices attempt to reinstall the machines, recognizing the illegality of DeJoy's orders. More articles of Trump showing his intent to sabotage the Postal Service to rig the election.


There must be a Presidential Crimes Commission. September 6, 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/09/there-must-be-presidential-crimes.html

     Summary: This article covers how some politicians have called for a Crimes Commission or Tribunal after the Trump administration leaves office, in order to fully root out all of the corruption and crimes that have taken place over the past 4 years. It does not directly address the coup, but it is obvious that the participants in the coup will never be brought to justice without a Crimes Commission. The second part of the blog post gives a brief overview of how presidential administrations since Nixon have been above the law and been emboldened to commit increasingly more heinous crimes.

The Biden administration can choose to rid us of the cancerous corruption that has been growing, or it will be encouraging its growth by turning a blind eye to it.


More people are recognizing the Republican coup. October 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/10/more-people-are-recognizing-republican.html

     Summary: On September 23, 2020, a detailed article was published in The Atlantic detailing the ways Trump and Republicans could attempt to sabotage the 2020 election. This article was published after Trump announced the extreme lengths he was intending to go to ensure there would be no transfer of power. Some mainstream liberals began using the term coup. Senator Jeff Merkley said, "If Trump is trying to bypass the election & work with GOP state legislatures to ignore electoral results that would be a flat-out coup." I for the first time distinguish the prior Republican self-coup from the unfolding 2020 election coup attempt preparations and outline various events in the self-coup. On September 29th, instead of condemning White Supremacy in the presidential debate, Trump told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by." A week later, far-right terrorists plotting to murder Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan were arrested. Whitmer called Trump complicit in the event.


Republican election rigging and coup, part 3. November 1, 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/11/republican-election-rigging-and-coup.html

     Summary: I briefly give further elaboration on why the self-coup is a different event from the 2020 election coup attempt. Discussion of how Amy Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court 8 days before the end of the election, after 60 million Americans had already voted, and before Judge Ginsburg was even buried. A reminder that McConnell and Republicans prevented Obama from appointing a Supreme Court judge in his final term for 11 months. A refresher on how Republicans used the Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case in 2000 to steal the 2000 election. Both Barrett and Kavanaugh worked on Bush's legal team in that case (in addition to Chief Justice John Roberts). Kavanaugh and lower court judges attempt to restrict mail-in voting. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee "joked" about committing election fraud on Twitter, days after a Republican had committed real voter fraud in the exact same manner. Attorney General Barr pretends he doesn't know if it's illegal to vote twice. Additional articles on the topics "Voter Intimidation", "Trump and treasonous activities", "Republican government supporting White Supremacist terrorists", and "Facebook and the election".


Mainstream media is finally calling the Trump administration out for their coup attempt! November 23, 2020. Major updates added to the end of the post on 11/30/2020 and 12/7/2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/11/mainstream-media-finally-calling-out-trump-coup-attempt.html

     Summary: The 2020 election ended on November 4. In the following days, as mail-in votes in swing states continued to be counted, Trump began the narrative that he massively won the election. Trump's refusal to acknowledge reality and the Republican party's willingness to back him resulted in a deluge of American and international media outlets finally acknowledging the 2020 coup attempt. I attempt to document as many of these articles as possible and give a timeline of unfolding events. Major events include Senator Lindsey Graham pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to throw out legal votes. Trump does not seem to have enough internal support within his party for them to fully back his coup. However, at the end of the article, I outline how Republicans set up everything they needed to carry out the coup if they had wanted to, and warn that it will be used as a dry run for future coup attempts if we don't hold every single last person responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

     Summary of 11/30 update: Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt calls this a coup. The Lincoln Project is composed of standard pre-Trump Republicans. This now marks the point where both conservatives and liberals have explicitly pointed out the coup attempt. A trump campaign team lawyer says former Director of the Cybersecurity Chris Krebs should be brutally executed for daring to debunk Trump's election fraud conspiracies.

     Summary of 12/7 update: On December 1st, less than one week after former Trump National Security Advisor retired General Michael Flynn was pardoned for lying to the FBI about his collusion with Russians, General Flynn says Trump should impose martial law to overthrow the election. Former Trump campaign team lawyer Sidney Powell said there should be "military tribunals" to carry out the coup. Even ultra-corrupt Attorney General Barr says there is no evidence of election fraud. Other troubling articles.

Democrat politicians are now calling Republicans out for their coup attempt! December 13, 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/12/democrat-politicians-clyburn-trump-coup-attempt.html

     Summary: High-ranking Democrat party member House Majority Whip James Clyburn explicitly says Trump is attempting a coup. Allen West, chairman of the Texas Republican party suggested pro-Trump states secede. A lawsuit endorsed by 18 Republican state Attorneys General and 126 Republican members of the House is rejected by the Supreme Court. Representative Bill Pascrell, one of the few politicians to honorably call for a Crimes Commission, suggests Republican politicians who supported Trump's coup should not be seated in Congress, citing the 14th Amendment. Some rabid Trump supporters have suggested boycotting the Georgia Senate runoff election in order to "destroy the GOP", due to their unwillingness to carry out the coup. While some liberals are celebrating this chaos, I warn that this is bad news, since it shows Trumpism will likely remain a significant ideological position among Republican voters in the following years.


Trump reportedly considered using the military to carry out his coup. December 22, 2020.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2020/12/trump-considered-military-coup.html

     Summary: On December 1, 2020, General Flynn, Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, and others suggested that Trump carry out a military coup. (This is covered in the "Mainstream media is finally calling the Trump administration out for their coup attempt" article.) A New York Times article on December 19 reported Trump himself asked about the feasibility of carrying out General Flynn's military coup plan. Although Powell was publicly removed from the Trump campaign team for being too crazy, Trump considered appointing her as a special counsel to conduct a witch hunt on election fraud. Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani considers plans illegally to seize voting machines as part of this witch hunt. On December 14, the Electoral College officially declares Biden as winner of the election. White House policy advisor Stephen Miller says Republicans have sent "alternate electors" to vote for Trump to bypass the Electoral College. McConnell now acknowledges Biden's victory, but many Republicans still refuse. Armed mobs of armed far-rightist rioters attempt to storm the Oregon state capitol.


Merry Christmas, at least 46 Republican Congressmen pledge support to the doomed coup, and other depressing news. January 3, 2021.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2021/01/46-republican-congressmen-pledge-to-support-coup.html

     Summary: 13 Senators and 34 Representatives publicly announced their intention to endorse the coup by voting against the certification of electoral votes of certain "swing states". Trump called both the 2020 presidential election and the Georgia Senate runoff election "illegal and invalid". A massive Russian cyber attack on US government agencies and private businesses was revealed. Trump was not at all bothered by it and Former Pentagon Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash suggested Trump requested the cyber attack. Biden starts receiving intelligence briefings again after Trump stopped them a few days after the cyber attack. All 10 living former Secretaries of Defense sign a letter urging against a military coup. Trump and the media try to get us into a war with Iran again. Iran requests Interpol to issue arrest warrants for Trump and 47 American officials for terrorism and war crimes. Trump pardons Blackwater mercenaries who murdered Iraqi children. Republicans begrudgingly pass an insulting Coronavirus stimulus for Christmas. A Neo-Nazi plan to attack the US power grid is foiled.


Trump incites an insurrection as he urges his supporters to storm the Capitol. January 6, 2021.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2021/01/trump-incites-insurrection-urges-supporters-storm-the-capitol.html

     Summary: Congress had planned to vote on the coup in the early afternoon, but it was cut short. Before the vote, Trump held a rally urging Vice President Pence to personally declare Trump winner of the 2020 election. At the rally, Rudy Giuliani encouraged Trump supporters to engage in a "trial by combat". In the days leading up to the vote, some other Republican politicians encouraged violence and civil war. As the rally ended, Trump directed his supporters to head to the Capitol where the coup vote was taking place. These Trump supporters broke windows and doors and stormed into the Capitol building, beginning an insurrection. Members of Congress were evacuated. Before the insurrection, Senator Schumer, Klobuchar, and others called Republican actions a coup. After the insurrection, many more politicians joined them. McConnell and Romney both called the event an insurrection. In the wake of this undeniable coup attempt, there was an outpouring of news articles and statements from politicians explicitly calling this a coup and insurrection. There were renewed calls to impeach and remove Trump before he could cause more damage, but this is why we should have impeached him years ago.


The Coup Vote. January 7, 2021.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-coup-vote.html

     Summary: Even after the violent insurrection incited by Trump, 147 Republicans--a majority of Republican Congressmen--went into the historical record as voting in favor of Trump's doomed coup. This article has a list of their names. Democrat party leaders in the House and Senate--Pelosi and Schumer--have both called the events of January 6th an insurrection, sedition, and a coup and called for Trump's immediate removal. American allies have voiced concerns this was an unambiguous coup attempt and police seemed to be involved in giving aid and comfort to the insurrectionists. A list of laws which Trump supporters and Republican politicians violated (such as seditious conspiracy and insurrection) is provided. McConnell, Romney, and other Republicans who opposed the coup vote will now have to contend with the fact that the majority of their party wanted a coup at all costs.


Post-Insurrection Topics of Discussion. January 10, 2021.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2021/01/post-trump-republican-coup-insurrection-topics-to-discuss.html

     Summary: An overview of some of the major questions and topics to consider in the aftermath of the insurrection. These topics include: the Capitol police's failure, individuals in the Capitol police potentially being complicit in the insurrection, the extreme double standard of how BLM protests were treated vs the insurrection, the failure of the National Guard, calls to remove Trump with the 25th Amendment, Trump cabinet members resigning in cowardice rather than invoking the 25th Amendment, new articles of impeachment against Trump, the numerous riots at state Capitols which took place on the same day as the insurrection, ongoing attempts to identify and arrest people who participated, calls for Congressmen who voted for the coup to resign or be removed from office, numerous influential people acknowledging Trump's role in inciting the insurrection, no shortage of media outlets and politicians jumping on the bandwagon to finally call this a coup, and both Democrats win in the Georgia Senate runoff election. This post is mainly a list of statements by various Democrats and Republicans who have called things a coup, insurrection, sedition, etc. We also cannot forget Republicans who are now criticizing Trump have enabled him to get to this point in the first place.


Trump's insurrection was an inside job. January 23, 2021.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2021/01/trumps-insurrection-was-inside-job.html

     Summary: From the evidence available so far, multiple Capitol Police officers directly gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionists and many simply gave up trying to stop them. Investigations into their conduct have been opened. A long summary of the Capitol Police's ineptitude and the National Guard's ineptitude under "Acting" Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller. Trump reportedly was "delighted" by the insurrection and the National Guard was not deployed for hours despite Congress members pleading for their lives. Panic buttons installed after previous death threats were removed from Representative Ayanna Pressley's office shortly before the insurrection. Representative Lauren Boebert and potentially other Congress members gave "reconnaissance" tours to groups before the insurrection. Representatives Biggs, Gosar, and Brooks (and likely Boebert and Greene) worked with Ali Alexander, a far-rightist who advocated for the insurrection and who led one of the rallies organized outside of the Capitol. The Arizona branch of the Proud Boys, a far-right group Trump previously told to "stand back and stand by" appear to be the ones who spearheaded the invasion of the Capitol. Biggs and Gosar sought a pardon from Trump for their role in the insurrection, showing their guilt. Insurrectionists had detailed knowledge of unmarked offices in the Capitol, leading many members of Congress to explicitly call the insurrection an inside job. Beyond this, many politicians and well-connected mainstream conservative donor and activist groups gave aid and comfort to the terrorists. Coup-inciters Representative Kevin McCarthy and Senator Josh Hawley admit the coup vote had no chance of succeeding, inadvertently revealing the coup vote and the months-long claims of Trump being the rightful President and only losing due to massive electoral fraud merely served as pretexts for inciting the insurrection as part of a larger coup attempt plan. The Trump campaign and foreign groups gave large sums of money to the organizers of the January 5th and 6th insurrection-inciting rallies.


Trump's Second Impeachment Vote - The Republican party now embraces bloody coups as part of their political strategy. January 30, 2021.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2021/01/trumps-second-impeachment-vote.html

     Summary: Demonstrating her leadership, Ilhan Omar immediately began writing articles of impeachment the day of the insurrection and demanded Democrat party leadership proceed with impeachment immediately. Despite time being of the essence, the Democrat party "leadership" ended up waiting an entire week until actually proceeding with impeachment.

Trump is impeached for INCITEMENT OF INSURRECTION.

After numerous members of the party organized, incited, and participated in a bloody coup, only 10 out of 211 Republican Representatives voted for the impeachment (less than 5%). Of those 10, all who were in office during the first impeachment voted against it. A few of these 10 supported the coup vote and the lawsuit to throw out legal electoral votes in swing states. Despite allegedly being in favor of impeachment, Mitch McConnell delays the impeachment trial in the Senate to ensure it will not take place until Trump is out of office. 45 out of 50 Republican Senators (including McConnell) declare that holding an impeachment trial after Trump left office is Unconstitutional and should not proceed. The debate over "Constitutionality" is a red herring to distract from the fact numerous politicians violated the law and should be immediately removed from office and locked up in prison.

With their stance on impeachment, it becomes clear: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS EMBRACED BLOODY COUP ATTEMPTS AS PART OF THEIR POLITICAL STRATEGY.


Republican party leadership reaffirms calls for assassination and insurrection are part of their party rhetoric. February 4, 2021.

https://authenticamericandream.blogspot.com/2021/02/republicans-endorse-marjorie-taylor-greenes-calls-for-murder-and-insurrection.html

     Summary: The Democrat party demands Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene be removed from her committee positions in Congress, after more of her brain-dead conspiracies and previous calls for insurrection and assassination of Democrat politicians come to light. The Republican party privately convenes to determine the fate of Greene, as well as Representative Liz Cheney (for the crime of outspokenly voting in favor of Trump's second impeachment). Two-thirds of Republicans vote to allow Cheney to maintain her leadership positions. The party gives Greene a literal standing ovation, reaffirming their commitment to their strategy of embracing insurrection and violence against the opposing party. Pelosi finally uses high energy rhetoric and declares that Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy has turned his party into the QAnon party for supporting Greene. Democrats will force the full House to vote on removing Greene from her positions soon.
