A lot of us have been sitting in substantial fear of the QAnon movement to reinstall Donald Trump as President over the first six or so months of Biden's Presidency.
(Hell, it may be the only reason Biden is still President, to be perfectly blunt and frank. I didn't think he'd stay this long.)
That said, a lot of people have pointed toward the month of August for the reinstallment -- so much so, many of us on the other side fear another insurrection incursion once it's clear it's not going to happen.
Friday, The Daily Mail in the UK got a hold of what appears to be CPAC's seven-point plan (more correctly, it is a group called "Patriots SOAR", not definitively affiliated with the Conservative Political Action Conference), revealed at their Dallas convention this weekend, to reinstall Trump as President in the next few days or couple weeks...
The plan is so ridiculous, it basically merits inclusion on this blog as not a direct sports situation, but this is a right-wing conspiracy of just stupid proportions and needs to be debunked far and wide.
The plan basically has three sections:
The first section is basically encapsulated in Part One: It constitutes a seizure of the majority in the House by dropping an "ACHILLES HEEL" about the Democrats which is so bad, it forces the Black Caucus and others (if necessary) to turn parties, caucus with the Republicans, forcing an immediate re-construction of the power in the House of Representatives with a majority-Republican House:
"1) Reveal ACHILLES HEEL: Pull back the curtain on the horror show that is today's "Democrat Party". Watch Pelosi melt, like the Wicked Witch of the West. See the Black Caucus flip, unexpectedly, and watch the tables turn."
As of right now, the Democrats only hold an nine-seat majority (220-211), and four seats are additionally vacant. (Two Republican seats go special election later this year, two Democratic seats early next year.) So it would not take more than five flips (and, for a time, even possibly as few as THREE) to force a revote. That is the scary part.
The stupid part is what would constitute such an "ACHILLES HEEL"... It is no secret that QAnon's view that a Democrat is a godless pedophile -- that the two concepts are absolutely equal -- is becoming mainstream Republican/Conservative thinking. What, a mere few months ago, appeared to be role-playing Internet-based gobbledygook is now the opinion of either the majority or a sizable (40%+) minority of the Republicans.
So, the first obvious thought is exposing Pelosi, etc. as pedophiles (and not the good Christian-fearing cis-male White landowner pedophiles like Donald Trump -- THOSE are allowed!) to force people to walk to the other side.
But I have come up with a second one, and it's one of the reasons I think the conservatives feel the need to move NOW: Many Libertarians and supposed-Patriot conservatives do not believe this country has the 18 months left until the next Congress seats. And if you look at the organized looting sprees in San Francisco and shooting sprees in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, etc. -- they're basically hoping to reinstall Trump as quickly as possible.
It's gotten so bad that a billionaire Trump donor actually put together enough money to get the Governor of South Dakota to send at least 50 National Guard troops to open fire at the border. Let THAT all process.
The second section of the idiocy plan is to maneuver Trump into position that he would actually succeed back to the Presidency -- effectively using the Constitution against itself.
"2) Witness a trusted Conservative elected as Speaker of the House and FINALLY reveal suppressed results of existing investigations into election racketeering."
That's nice.
There's two caveats to this people need to know right now:
1) This is a caretaker Speaker, at this point. That will be made clear in a later portion of this.
2) Given what the "ACHILLES HEEL" almost certainly has to be, who, short of Marjorie Taylor Greene, the QAnon bitch from Georgia, could be so "trusted"?
So that part of it is ridiculous.
What even makes this more ridiculous is that the group actually believes it is in possession of results which would so reverse the 2020 election that...
"3) Correct the official record. Reveal that Trump legitimately won the 2020 Election."
The stupidity of this knows no bounds.
Because, at that point:
"4) The [Caretaker] Speaker of the House drafts Articles of Impeachment for Biden-Harris."
Full stop.
You have two EXISTENTIAL-LEVEL problems with that line of thinking:
1) Again, as before, if you invalidate the 2020 Presidential Election, you cease, then, to have a House of Representatives of ANY KIND at that moment. Because, if you invalidate Biden's election, everything up and down the ballot immediately invalidates as well -- and that's not only the entire House of Representatives, but a third of the Senate as well!
You would then propose the illegal impeachment, not on the basis of that you would have no (hypothetical) cause, but the body who would impeach Biden and Harris has no right to, then, be there in any kind or rational nature...
In short, QAnon bitches, WHAT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES EXIST OF ANY KIND THE MOMENT YOU INVOKE #3?
So that's just the political end of it.
2) The more ominous end for those of us on the Left is what would happen in the streets. We know much of this conservative/right-wing mindset derives from the fact that the citizenry is a militia which can eliminate an unfit or illegitimate government through the right of God, as bestowed by the Founding Fathers.
Even Biden sees this as lunacy. He all but rejects the Second Amendment as the courts have mis-applied it, even stating a few days ago that an overthrow would require no less than a nuclear arsenal and B-52s. (Effectively, now, the reverse of the election-wargaming scenarios discussed last year -- Biden can now call in the 82nd Airborne.)
And he's RIGHT. Not only logistically, but the fact that a lot of these people believe the time is ripe to spill our blood to cleanse the nation -- so much so, that some Conservatives bleat that a Second American Civil War would be five minutes long before they won it, because of the land they hold and the guns they hold.
(Not only that, but how did we even get this far if the US military actually does lean that far to the Right, as you idiots state?)
In short, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR, COWARDS?
Now this next part is not on the list, and the one after that starts the true process of reinstallation -- and it's that part 5 that, UNDER ANOTHER SCENARIO, we need to worry about as a nation:
Unlisted: The Caretaker Speaker, once the impeachment is on the table, resigns. For the sole purpose of...
"5) Citizen Donald J. Trump is placed into the line of succession, behind the Vice President, by electing him Speaker of the House."
It's this scenario which, under another timeline, this country needs to fear and fear FAST.
If you are not a QAnon moron, you need to vote Democratic in the midterms as if your life depends on it. Because it probably does.
One thing people need to keep in mind here: Though every Speaker of the House in history has been a member of the House of Representatives, it is NOT REQUIRED he or she be so. The Speaker CAN come from outside the House.
Meaning that it is not implausible that, should the Republicans win the midterm control of the House in November of 2022 (and the margin is not that great!), they could elect Donald Trump Speaker on January 3, 2023 -- placing him quite-literally TWO BULLETS from the Presidency, and all but assuring the assassination deaths of both President Biden and Vice-President Harris.
At least Trump as Speaker HAS been posited, even as high as in circles of CNN!
(FOR THE RECORD: The above is stated as the scenario which would probably be placed into motion by such events. It is NOT the wish of the writer of this blog or of any of it's readers -- save possibly one (meow).)
Back to the Patriots SOAR timeline: This is where they use the Constitution against itself. I'm not exactly sure why the first Speaker in the situation would not be Trump in the first place, so that's one problem with the line of thinking.
The second then comes here:
"6) Speaker of the House Donald J. Trump then calls for a vote to impeach, charge and remove imposters, Biden and Harris."
Someone wants a shooting war and wants it NOW.
You can get the impeachment and the charge at that point with a Republican House. Most people all but concede it's certainty in 2023 if the Republicans retake the House in the 2022 midterms.
The problem is, at that point, you then, to get the removal, would have to go to the Senate and gain a TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY THEREIN. Meaning, you'd have to flip SEVENTEEN current Democratic Senators in the 50*-50 chamber to gain the necessary votes to convict.
The Speaker, as was done against Trump twice, can probably set the prosecution of the impeachment trial. But once the Senate gets the situation, it is, then, out of his hands.
And then there's the other part of this -- a third of the Senate (much of it Republican seats in 2020) -- would also, then, similarly be invalidated if the election of 2020 were proven null and void.
And then the final part:
"7) Duly impeach, charge, and remove Biden and Harris, whereby rendering all acts of said impostors, while in office, null and void and of no legal effect! Then, duly elected Donald J. Trump resumes his rightful place as U.S. President."
And half of the country, literally over 150 million people, begin the march to their deaths as a result.
Because if anything remotely resembling this occurs, it will be the last election ever to take place in this land.
I remember Kazuto Okayasu, a Debbie Gibson fan of medium repute in the online community.
I openly out this person for his statement because it is the exact statement which must be made if we are to make any forward progress as a nation.
"STOP HIM AT ALL COST."
