If the media is to be believed I could see it. There’s so much hate in Trump/MAGA/QAnon country and they’re armed so… What’s really scary is the quiet coup happening. All across the country the GOP is gerrymandering in its favor, putting forward Stop the Steal acolytes for key positions so that when the time comes to not certify they can.

Yeah - when I read the news I see it... But when I go to the grocery store, the PTA meeting, or the mall I don't. It very well might be my bubble, but I don't see neighbors arming themselves, and the ones I know that are most adamant that Trump should be President for Life, would be shocked and appalled if called upon to leave the couch or keyboard to fight. It's become a passtime to predict the end of our democracy, but it takes a lot more than Twitter rants to really overthrow the government and install a new one.

As the communists would say - it’s not who votes matters, but who counts. GOP is learning all the right lessons from Lenin and soviets (and Nazies too I think).
