The leaked texts from GOP congressmen show how they tried to pull off the biggest illegal action in U.S. political history, ruthbenghiat writes.
"This doesn't have to come down to a binary choice between an immediate concession, and a destruction of the credibility of the election process," Lee texted Meadows on Nov. 7 after Biden was declared the winner. His matter-of-fact mention of an autocratic outcome — destroying faith in elections — is chilling. So is the supposed"middle-road option" Lee favored and first mentioned on that November 23.
The job of would-be authoritarians like Trump is to lead his followers to debase themselves on his behalf. We would be smart to see the anti-democratic schemes floated in these texts as options for 2024, and to plan accordingly.
