You are absolutely spot on in this piece, and thanks the history around the election of 1800, which I did not know about. This putsch by the Democrats I thought was basically unprecedented and in many ways I think it is. They are using lawfare instead of threat of warfare but as Lenin said, "politics is war by other means" and we all now should be aware of Clausewitz's earlier statement that "war is politics by other means". The line between the two is not as clear as some might think.
The demonization of Trump has been profound and sustained for 8 long years. The populist right will not take this lying down and while I have always been a leftist I am on their side in this.
