Yet, Wilentz writes, “many of even the most influential news sources hold to the fiction Trump and his party are waging a presidential campaign instead of a continuing coup, a staggering failure to recognize Trump’s stated agenda.”

- Check your voter registration
- Volunteer
- Donate
- Organize locally so that you can turn out to pressure local officials to actually treat your ballot as valid
These ideals and plans originate somewhere related to the GOP. So you’re right, he didn’t directly do it, and after he’s gone this isn’t done.
Yep. The fundamental problem is that the Republican party has transitioned into a pro-dictatorship party because they’re afraid that nonwhites will have the same freedoms as they do. And that doesn’t go away once Trump is gone.
