I don’t know. That phone call the other day makes me think trump thinks there is a chance he can stay in power even if you think he is delusional.

He literally told his Vice President to overturn the election. I dunno what we’re debating here.

Well, if Trump actually thought he could stay in power then he would be delusional. If that’s true, that he does think he can stay, then I’m wrong. But these idiots rioting doesn’t have any bearing on that question as far as I can see.

They are rioting because he’s been telling him the election was stolen for three months.

He believes there is a chance he can pull it off. To be clear I think it’s less than 1%.
But it’s not like the rest of our govt and institutions are full of well read, thoughtful, honorable people safeguarding us from the improbable.
That’s the coup attempt. The “protests” are just meaningless criminal activity after Trump’s coup attempt failed in the courts and congress. The only issue is whether Trump’s coup attempt was so pathetic that it shouldn’t be called as much.

You think the chance is less than 1%, or you think he thinks the chance is less than 1%? If it’s the latter don’t we basically agree?

Exactly, and thus don’t inform if I was right or not.

This protest has less chance of taking over the government than osama bin laden had.
Let them burn down the capitol for all i care. That would only allow us to root out the supporters in right wing media, elected office, police, armed forces, etc.
And why is Trump inciting a riot. What is his purpose?
I’m not arguing that they have a high probability of success. I am arguing that their probability of success is as relevant as ARMED TERRORISTS STORMED THE CAPITOL FORCING THE SENATE TO EVACUATE. I have no idea why you keep giving reasons why this is actually no big deal.
Same as all the other shit he’s pulled. Generate media coverage, controversy, stir shit up. Seems like this went way too far to serve any useful purpose for Trump but I’ve thought that about 17 times since Trump entered politics and been wrong each time so what do I know.
What do you think his purpose for inciting this riot was?

I mean, who knows what is going on in his brain but I think he believes that there is a decent chance he can stay in power.
It doesn’t work and it’s dumb
Until it works
So again. You are saying it’s only a coup if it’s successful.
Which is retarded.

He’s never faced a consequence for his failure before, why would he expect to now?
