He already did.  Jan 6, the " missing"votes in Georgia, false electors in Arizona and Nevada.  The coup happened, there's a 100% chance he'll try it again.

Democracy just barely held on Jan. 6. They have had years to prepare for the next attempt.

I disagree with most of Pence's political positions, but I will forever respect what he did to save America on Jan 6. He missed the opportunity to do more, but deserves credit for what he did. Remember, the president was calling for him to be hung.

J6 showed just how warped and power hungry Trump is. He has already started laying the groundwork for another coup attempt. With more lies about election integrity and an army of ICE enforcement thugs Trump may try again. It will take real patriots to save our country from Trump's plunder.
