is it because of how the electoral system in America is set up that makes coups unlikely?

I'm not going to hypothesize about potential violence or a nation crumbling like that, but I will say that if Trump loses:

1. Trump will not concede on election night.

2. Trump's administration will not participate in a transitional period. He might invite Biden to the WH, but I don't see him instructing his aides to work with Biden's staff the same way Obama did for him (or W did for Obama). Which will result in the Biden administration being behind the 8 ball on January 20th, 2021.

3. Trump will not participate in the inauguration. He won't attend, and he will likely slunk out the White House with as little fanfare as possible.

Remember, everything Trump has gotten away with was paved by unwavering support from republican officials. If he loses and it's pretty straight forward (ie not a Bush Gore ting) there is no real incentive for normal republicans to support his bullshyt. If he loses, he's taking a lot of people down with him, including the senate. What incentive does a now-Minority Leader-elect Mitch McConnell gain from saying the election is invalid? What incentive is there for potential 2024 republican candidates to back a coup? They'll want Trump out the picture as quickly as possible so they can start positioning for the next election.

A coup in the US is very unlikely, based on how the country is set up. I'm not worried about that.

Geezus Christ this is retarded :laff:

That fukking idiot can't run the country when he's elected. What in the world makes you think he could pull off a coup :laff:

Trump is just the current Boogeyman, they said the same shyt about bush jr, and Obama. And I thought it was retarded too then

Hell, the "Deep State" dont like his ass either. The GOP members that are up for re election are legitimately pissed at him because most of their campaigns are already underwater by having less than 45% guaranteed votes. Even Mitch McConnell has a 35% approval rating from his state, and he's been there since 1984 :dead:

:salute:Then he is going to need a more sophisticated "prosecution avoidance plan".

He's gonna try to pull shyt that is "legally precarious" to say the least. Remember, his lawyers already tried to argue in the New York courts that because he was president he was immune from prosecution, even for shyt that happened before his presidency, even for state crimes.

another thing to keep in mind is that trump is a fukkin p*ssy :dead:

typically the leader of a coup actually leads a coup. trump wouldnt bust a grape
Trump is a p*ssy that's why he will send out someone else to get dirty.

Look at his Liberate tweets and how easily that stirred his zombies up. He may puss out and not go there but don't be surprised if he does order them again.

And that doesn't mean he will lead a successful coup :pachaha:

but that is not handing over power peacefully which is the topic of the thread. I

If he loses he’s just going to run again in 2024 as a Democrat
if he loses, everywhere he goes out in public he'll be laughed at as a fukkin loser. his "great economy" is shattered and he has zero accomplishments as president right now

i still think if trump loses this election, he might just die like joe paterno

I used to call them the Do Nothing Democrats. Do Nothing dems folks. But ever since I announced I was running as a Democrat they love me now. And they are doing things now. Many things folks. And now grown men, I mean really big guys come to me with tears in their eyes. Crying "Sir, We know you will save us, thank you so much!"
So we are gonna make America Awesome again. I call it MAAA. Sounds great doesn't it. Like you call your mom, Believe me.

Comes down to how much damage you believe Trump has done to the system. I think he's done damage but not to the extent where blatantly unconstitutional statutes are held up by federal courts, or backed by law enforcement/military agencies. Time will tell.
