One of the Never Trump conservatives is out with a new opinion piece this morning on whether the Trump coup will happen in 2024. It is AWFULLY early for this prediction, but in the end he says it won’t happen probably. I don’t disagree. Though the absolute worst of the Trumpies have abandoned all social and mainstream media, most of them are still here, decidedly NOT advocating for the overthrow of democracy. That will help, not hurt, in 2024. I monitor OAN, the Trump news network, and basically they are all about essentially acting normally for conservative media these days which is NOT coup oriented. I’d bet Douthat is right that in the end with 35 Senators and 150 representatives on board the Trump 2024 train the coup can’t happen. But that doesn’t mean some people won’t try, which is the dangerous part. Ross Douthat Never Trump Opinion on Trump Coup Possibilities.
