Money for quiet coups all over the world.

Restore the election!

This was being passed around by the lefties prior to 11.3. No one is stepping up to stop the cheaters outside of a few lawyers. There is a lot that is useful on this page. Can someone set up a website and adapt the content? I can help copy-edit but I am an internet idiot and can't set up a webpage.

  1. Do call it a coup. We know it’s a coup if the government:

    Stops counting votes; Certifies someone a winner who didn’t get the most votes; or Allows someone to stay in power who didn’t win the election.

  2. Know that coups have been stopped by regular folks.

  3. Be ready to act quickly — and not alone.

  4. Focus on widely shared democratic values, not on individuals.

  5. Convince people not to freeze or just go along.

  6. Commit to actions that represent rule of law, stability and nonviolence.

Stopping a coup is dependent on the size of mobilizations and winning over the center. It is really a fight for legitimacy. Which voice is legitimate? Some people will have already made up their minds. The aim, then, is convincing those who are uncertain — which may be a more surprising number than you expect.

Mass resistance to coups wins by using walk-outs and strikes, refusing orders and shutting down civil society.

To swing them to our side, that uncertain center has to be convinced that “we” represent stability and “the coup plotters” represent hostility to the democratic norms of elections and voting.

We prevent that possibility when we dehumanize potential defectors, make sweeping statements like “the police won’t help,” never encourage people to join our side and create chaotic scenes on the street.

Historically, whichever side resorts to violence the most tends to lose. In a moment of uncertainty, people pick the side that promises maximum stability, respects democratic norms and appears to be the safer bet. It’s a contest of who can be the most legitimate.

We see you on here and we are trying to find the time to report all your infantile racist and violent work. I know it is hard to find a job right now, but consider. You are trying to lure out the hidden racism and anarchy in the patriot movement--it isn't there. It is trolls from other companies responding to you. There are graduate students studying your conversations and writing papers about hidden racism and sedition, not knowing they are reading paid hack work. The ugliness is in you. Patriots spend their time, treasure, and health working for freedom and justice for all people. No one pays them and they receive no public thanks, and they are willing to risk their lives, why would they do all that for someone they hated? Why would they throw away peace and order for violence and disaster?

We know you are smart, and we know you are hurting. You think we didn't read all those books you read in college. We did, they are trash. You do not know this because you have never lived in the real world. Get a job driving truck, or on a farm, or in a trade, or join the armed forces. See what it is like to do some hard work. Then you will see that the roots of inequality do not lie with the working and middle classes, but with the skimmers, and the hypocrites, and the speculators, and those willing to profit on suffering and death. Has one single one of your friends ever held a real world job?

Would it be too painful to go on if you were wrong? Would it be world-ending to be hated and scorned by all your friends and to have to start over? Do you hold one single belief that is discordant with your political party and their leadership? Really? All of this is a sign that you are mentally stuck in puberty, probably due to some real trauma. Public school is designed to break you down. We understand, most of us went through it--you can do the internal work to mature, too. There is a big beautiful grown up world on the other side, with fulfilling respectful relationships, and fascinating mature ideas. You will be able to love your children and family like they are real human beings, not just markers in your social status totem. Life is more than a popularity contest.

So get help, I mean it, you deserve it. A therapist is legally required to keep your secret and ethically required to be warm and supportive--when you find a competent person to help you, you will love growing up and healing from your past.
