The New York Times Publishes an Article Calling for a Color Revolution In the United States to Block Trump from the Presidency
Guys they're just protecting our democracy by ending democracy.
If the people use their votes in bad, authorized ways, the smart Guardians of Democracy will just have to take their votes from them and disqualify the people they elect.That's what this article says. And it hints at even more radical methods. This was published before the election. They're already planning a "color revolution" in the US -- a supposedly spontaneous uprising by "the people," but actually fomented and coordinated by the US "intelligence" services.
There Are Four Anti-Trump Pathways We Failed to Take. There Is a Fifth. By Steven Levitsky and Daniel ZiblattDid you hear that? They just dismissed leaving it up to the public to vote for the representatives they choose as a "laissez faire" non-strategy which must be rejected in favor of more... proactive measures.
Mr. Levitsky and Mr. Ziblatt are professors of government at Harvard and the authors of "Tyranny of the Minority."
Democratic self-rule contains a paradox. It is a system premised on openness and competition. Any ambitious party or politician should have a shot at running for office and winning. But what if a major candidate seeks to dismantle that very system?
America confronts this problem today. Donald Trump poses a clear threat to American democracy. He was the first president in U.S. history to refuse to accept defeat, and he illegally attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Now, on the brink of returning to the White House, Mr. Trump is forthrightly telling Americans that if he wins, he plans to bend, if not break, our democracy. ... We have been studying democratic crisis and authoritarianism for 30 years. Between the two of us, we have written five books on those subjects. We can think of few major national candidates for office in any democracy since World War II who have been this openly authoritarian. ... We spent the last year researching how democracies can protect themselves from authoritarian threats from within. We have found five strategies that pro-democratic forces around the world have employed.... The traditional American response to extremism is laissez-faire which makes it almost odd to call it a strategy. We rely on the self-correcting power of electoral competition. The belief is that all opinions should compete freely, allowing the marketplace of ideas, or what John Stuart Mill called "the collision of adverse opinions," to play out. If we let all candidates compete, the thinking goes, good ideas and candidates will ultimately beat out the bad ones.
As they say: Ignore all the rhetorical throat-clearing before the "but." What comes after the "but" is the real position.
Electoral competition is, of course, essential to democracy. But a laissez-faire approach has two important limitations.
First, in the United States, competition is distorted by an 18th-century institution, the Electoral College, that allows election losers to win power.Oh, that's the least of it.
...In the beginning of the article these fascist communists were whining that Trump might prosecute Democrats for their crimes (after Democrats prosecuted Trump and his allies for four years). They say the fix is simple: We'll just use the government to prosecute them!
Yet democracies are not helpless. There are four other strategies for fending off authoritarian threats from within. One of these is a far more muscular approach, known as militant or defensive democracy. Born in West Germany as a response to Europe's democratic failures in the 1930s, the militant democracy approach empowers public authorities to wield the rule of law against antidemocratic forces.
Haunted by the experience of Hitler's rise to power via the ballot box, West German constitutional designers created legal and administrative procedures that allowed the state to restrict and even outlaw "anti-constitutional" speech, groups and parties...Arguing against unlimited immigration, and against covid shut downs, are two forms of "nazi-like" speak these people have attempted to suppress. They pretend they're talking about suppressing Hitlerism. They're really just talking about suppressing speech that is merely anti-leftist or simply dissident.
And they cite that as a success.
Nevertheless, most contemporary democracies employ elements of militant democracy.... Last year, a former president, Jair Bolsonaro, who, like Mr. Trump, tried to discredit and then overturn an election, was barred from public office for eight years.
Long story short, they whine that the Republican Party should have banned Trump and his voters but were too cowardly to do so, so now we have to resort to more stringent measures.
The United States has a tool on the books for disqualifying anti-constitutional candidates: Section III of the 14th Amendment disallows former public officials who have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" from holding office. Intended to bar Confederate leaders from public office, Section III might have been used to disqualify Mr. Trump from the ballot -- as Colorado's Supreme Court ruled in late 2023 with regard to its state's primary ballot. Earlier this year, however, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that, barring congressional legislation, the 14th Amendment could not be used to keep Mr. Trump off the ballot. With that decision, for good or ill, America chose to forgo the path of militant democracy.
A third approach to defending democracy is partisan gatekeeping.
.. Today's Republican leaders have abandoned gatekeeping. Even after Mr. Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, they protected and supported him. Had Senate Republicans voted to convict and disqualify Mr. Trump after his second impeachment, he would not be a candidate today. But they did not....The Deep State/Regime did this. It was all unconstitutional and often straight-up illegal. But if you want to make an anti-fascist omlet you have to break a few eggs!
When authoritarians make it onto the ballot, prodemocratic forces may turn to a fourth strategy: containment, in which politicians from across the ideological spectrum forge a broad coalition to isolate and defeat the authoritarians.
... That leaves a fifth strategy: societal mobilization.This is calling for a color revolution in the US. He again returns to Germany's criminalization of the AfD as a good start for Trump and his voters. They call for all corporations to band together -- with Regime government forces, of course -- to fight the "authoritarians." Say, what is it called when corporate power is united under government power to impose a single-party rule on a people...?
... Although many individual business leaders have worked to defend democracy, leading national business associations like the Business Roundtable and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce remain on the sidelines, refusing to repudiate Mr. Trump's authoritarianism. ... The U.S. establishment is sleepwalking toward a crisis. An openly antidemocratic figure stands at least a 50-50 chance of winning the presidency. The Supreme Court and the Republican Party have abdicated their gatekeeping responsibilities, and too many of America's most influential political, business and religious leaders remain on the sidelines. Unable to rise above fear or narrow ambition, they hedge their bets. But time is running out. What are they waiting for?They're the anti-fascists, remember? The left is creating a roadmap for what we should do to them. If you say these are the rules: I believe you.

JUST IN: Senator Chuck Schumer calls for "bipartisanship" from Republicans and warns they not "misread the will of the people" after Trump won the election.
"The temptation may be to go to the extreme. We've seen that happen over the decades, and it's consistently backfired."
"This body is most effective when it's bipartisan. If we want the Senate to be as productive as it was in the last four years, [we need] bipartisan cooperation."
"Democrats will never abandon our values, but neither will we reject an opportunity to move the ball forward to make people's lives better when we can."
"The question is now whether Republicans are willing to do the same."
"Do not abandon bipartisanship. It's the best and most effective way to get things done."

it's delightfully arcane and convoluted and difficult to understand- maybe a dozen people in the world know how it works, front to back. I kid of course.
All seriousness aside, the way I understand the EC is, it forces a candidate to campaign for and hopefully win a nationwide consensus, or as close to that as one can come.
You can't just win with the big states- you're gonna need some little ones too. And this ensures the little states have a say, instead of getting steamrolled every 4 years.

It's often overextended but sometimes you need to bring a guy back to discuss precise details of a project they were involved with. There are practical reasons for a clearance to lapse in a delayed fashion.
Having a clearance doesn't grant you access to information(so a guy with a Secret clearance can't just demand to see everything of that classification level), it means others can licitly provide that information to you. Everything classified nominally operates on a need to know basis.

Here's a chuckle: CNN, Climate leaders were worried Trump would derail talks. They didn’t know their host would be the wrecking ball
Analysis by Angela Dewan, International Climate Editor, November 15, 2024
In part, "From the moment the US election results rolled in, climate leaders knew Donald Trump would be a blow to the COP29 talks in Baku. What they didn’t foresee was the demolition job Azerbaijan’s own leader would do from the inside.
In what should be one of the most urgent meetings of the year — aimed at slowing a global crisis fast spiraling out of control — the talks have descended into a circus of boycotts, political tirades and fossil fuels celebrations. Its host, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, has been its spectacular ringmaster.
Amid the chaos, prominent global climate leaders on Friday issued an open letter calling for a “fundamental overhaul” of the entire UN climate process. It was originally published saying the annual talks, known as Conferences of the Parties (COPs), were “no longer fit for purpose,” but that language was quickly removed."

For example, if a public official chooses to deliberately and publicly count ballots that they acknowledge are fraudulent, in order to subvert democracy and overturn an election, they should be arrested, jailed, and prosecuted.

Hard to say who's exactly as authoritarian as Trump. But I can give you a list of national candidates in this country alone who were more authoritarian during that time.
Harriman, Kefauver, Stevenson, JFK, LBJ, McCarthy, Humphrey, Wallace, McGovern, Carter, Brown, Teddy K, Jackson, Mondale, Hart, Dukakis, Gore, Clinton, Gephardt, Clinton II, Sharpton, Kerry, Edwards, Obama, Brandon, & Harris.
And that's not even half of the wannabe rogue-state strongmen Dems who've run.

Let's pretend...pretend...for a moment that Trump really intends to be quite the iron-fisted authoritarian. Instead of ridiculous Marxian schemes why not just, I dunno, advocate for a more rigid adherence to the Constitution and repeal of laws that enable his "authoritarianism"? Maybe cut spending and shed large parts of the bureaucracy? I know, those poor little pencil pushers. But sacrifices must be made.

A CNN report on El Salvador. 10 min, but a detailed look at a very impressive system They talked to one MS13 gang leader in the high security prison and he speaks English like someone who lived most of his life in USA.
The reporting shows the public universally supporting the crackdown, and conditions harsh but no hair on fire whining about it as I would have expected from CNN. They say he has 81k locked up, and 7k were released after proving innocence. They even interview one wrongfully convicted guy and he supports the crackdown.

But when Trump not only one the Electoral Vote, but also the Popular Vote easily, it knocked all of the stuffing out of them. The Left just doesn't have the heart for the fight anymore, not on these terms. You can see it on X, for one example. Are they standing and fighting for the cause? No, they're all running away back to safe spaces like Blue Sky, where they can all huddle together and suck their collective thumbs or something.

[I've propposed this a few times this past week, part 1 of 3:]
Three Potential Solutions if nominees can’t get confirmed:
(1) The obvious RECESS APPOINTMENT to which Thune, Cornyn, and Scott all agreed; NOTE however, that all senators would need to vote to recess and the same senators with concerns about a nominee might also oppose a recess (a temporary appointment that expires at the end of a congressional session -- so at most, one year).

No, he was engaging in tactics similar to the left here in this country, of showing up at people's houses, just to get his attack dogs to go after them.
He was warned to stop doing it. He didn't stop. He was on camera, bragging about doing it.
So he was arrested, tried, and convicted. He wasn't a hero. He was a shitty human being, an opportunist, who seemed to think "taking on Pootin" would make him popular.
It didn't.

(2) My understanding is that the VP — as the President of the Senate — can preside over Senate sessions and thus, instead of a Treasonous Majority Leader like a McConnell or a Thune, can choose whom to recognize for proposed legislation & debate (and which Traitors to ignore).
I’ve heard that Trump considered doing this in his first term, but of course that rat-bastard Pence wouldn’t cooperate.
Let’s have JD Vance run the Senate daily when they’re in session — and have frequent recesses so that Trump can make recess appointments. MOAR BOSS MOVES!
[To which whig replied:] "It is actually the constitutional option. Only leaders in the House and Senate specified by the Constitution are the Speaker of the House and the Vice President of the US who is also President of the Senate. The rules of either house flow downhill from those particular offices.
In many states, the Lt. Gov fulfills the original role of the VP in the US Constitution by running state Senates (sometimes that is affected somewhat by party control)."

Yup, currently they're flailing looking for someone to take the reigns and give them a path forward for the collective of NPC's.
You know, it's a perfect atmosphere for a ringer to step in and really prank the Left. Someone with resonating speaking skills who can keep a straight face while spouting nonsense could easily build a name for themselves and punk a significant portion of the left's constituency. They are just begging for such a person to grasp onto.

(3) I’ve previously proposed that Trump serially nominate hardcore MAGA who likely can’t get confirmed — and have them just mock Senators during hearings while they fail — one after another.
Meanwhile … he can appoint even MOAR hardcore MAGA “Acting Deputies” to drain the swamp-creatures from and run those very departments in their stead …

Late to this thread, but what you're seeing is the standard prog M.O. Get some academics to float ridiculous trial balloons, have them shot down but discussed, get some California legislator to introduce a bill, continue pressure by "activists" and non-profits, eventually it hardens into dogma.

The entire West envies the German cordon sanitaire and wishes they had past atrocities they could use to justify something similar.
The problem for the Dems is that the US has atrocities, but they are all on the side of the Dems.
An earlier comment by DU Underground (maybe last thread) said something about how if you erased wokeness from history you would lose the Voting Rights Act and desegregation of the military... Sure, but those were just corrections to earlier Dem wokeness discrimination against blacks. If
