People say that, but the sight of say Russian/Mexican/Chinese/Canadian troops parachuting onto the whitehouse lawn to abduct a sitting president, no doubt killing many in the process, would be such an afront that domestic politics wouldnt matter.

  > I would welcome any method to depose them. So just to be clear, you think that Trump and the GOP are so bad you would welcome Xi or Putin launching an assault on US soil and depose him? To push your point even further: do you feel so strongly that you would volunteer to help?

    > Putin launching an assault on US soil This already happened. Trump lead a Russia-backed coup against the United States in January, 2021 to overturn the 2020 election and illegally take the presidency. It failed, but he and every government employee who supported him after that is guilty of treason and is serving illegitimately.

      > and is serving illegitimately. Trump is president because he was elected by the American voter while the opposition was in power. I would not label that as illegitimate and I think it is dangerous to spread that narrative.

        Trump lead a coup against the US, is guilty of treason, and is ineligible for public office. I agree it is dangerous to have a traitor to the US in the presidency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Participants_in_rebellion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_Un...

        > Trump lead a coup against the US, is guilty of treason Was he tried and convicted? If his successor and the opposition truly believed that why did they not go after him for it?

        A lack of prosecution does not imply innocence. There were several attempts to go after him for it, but the courts are intentionally set up to favor the wealthy and powerful, in this case via infinite delay tactics. I still think it could've been done and I'll never forgive the Biden DOJ for delaying forever and letting him skate. He should've been in jail by February, serving his sentence by summer.

  They can burn the whitehouse down. Again.

I assumed they would be parachuting in on Mar-A-Lago or some golf course somewhere.

I think you vastly overestimate the value that people place on Trump. The GOP would swear in President Vance and count their blessings.
