Getting back to the OP , there is still support for an attempt to overthrow the election result in the
GOP. Even if Trump and the GOP don't succeed this time they dealt a fatal blow to democracy in the US.
Republican state senators call on Trump to declare martial law to overturn Biden election victory
an hour ago
Within the last 48 hours, two Republican state senators, Bob Steinburg of North Carolina and Amanda F. Chase of Virginia, through public Facebook posts and in subsequent interviews, have declared that President Donald Trump should suspend civil liberties and declare martial law in order to stay in power.
Both state senators have repeated Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud and various other right-wing conspiracies. Steinburg was reelected to the statehouse this past year, while Chase is running for governor of Virginia.In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Steinburg reiterated comments made earlier this month by retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, suggesting Trump invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, deploy soldiers and suspend habeas corpus.
.
In an interview with WRAL Tuesday night, Steinburg alleged he was just “putting out there options that others say still remain on the table,” although he later added that he would welcome a coup.
.
Steinburg was not able to articulate what habeas corpus was, stating that he was just “repeating what the general said.”
