    Yeah, that’s what concerns me. It definitely sounds plausible and I’m not an expert in the legalities of this, so from my outside (Australian) perspective this very much looks like a viable path for the GOP to take power. I haven’t followed much of Johnson’s activities either, but from what I’ve seen of him he strikes me as very dodgy… much like our ex PM Scott Morrison.

      it’s viable in the same way that Hitler rose to power. Jan 6 is a parallel to the Beer Hall Putsch,

      Though Trump never went to jail for it. it’s not really legitimate, and there’s no telling what would happen. I’m not convinced all the people saying ‘civil war’ will take up arms. They probably have a lot to loose. like their armchairs and shit.
