Even the nuttiest of the teabaggers and other crazies can't take down the entire US government.
7 Days in May was just a movie.
It Can't Happen Here was just a book.
1984, though...

Edit to add: I think it is far more likely he engages Russia and other hostile nations to take even more insidious action in order to rig the 2020 election. And then he will again obstruct and rig the inevitable investigations.
I hope age and obesity catch him sooner rather than later.

(11,109 posts)when the new President takes the oath of office, the loyalties of the Secret Service immediately shift to the new President. If need be, the Secret Service will drag Trump from the White House in cuffs.
Everyone in federal service - the Secret Service, US Marshals, the military, etc. - take an oath to defend the Constitution. They can be counted on to comply with their oaths.

School shooter E*** H***** is a prime example.

(6,616 posts)Invoke the 25th amendment and have Pence take over till the January inaugaration day.
If Pence goes berzerk too, then do the same thing and then swear Nancy in as President.
Geeze, it'll be SO NICE to have an adult in the White House again!
