"Trump’s EO 13957 was a dagger aimed directly at the heart of the beast. It might have worked."

The planning for the steal had to start a long time before this EO was drafted unless Trump had it written and waiting his whole term which is a possibility. I see it more as a shot across their bow that ensured they'd go through with the steal that he already knew was going to happen.
Good point! I suppose it is pretty near impossible to undo the damage that's been done to our government without just dissolving the whole thing. EO's were never meant to be the method of governing so the whole balance is off. I know Trump likes to do everything "legal" so it will be interesting to see how this mess can be resolved.
Yeah, motivation to cheat harder, and with 3 months notice before election, much sloppier.
Anyone think the military has been in control since sometime during early in Obama's second term? They had to have these plans ready to discuss with Trump in advance of his running for office in 2014 or in order to convince Trump that 'now is the time'. Wonder if the master plan included Trump as part of it, and not 'everything' started/designed with Trump and his EO? Nothing against DJT.
Thomas Wictor suggested that we may have been in a partial devolution under Obama. The fact that someone was able to leverage McConnell to block Obama's judge nominations is a small bit of evidence towards this, imo.
