Why would he do this? The republicans fucked him over, what’s the motivation behind this? Simply to win Georgia?

Also how will the dems react?

I think Trump is an idiot criminal with a survival instinct who just happens to have a huge alt right following at his disposal, so maybe he’ll feel like using them while he has the power and immunity that he doesn’t want to give up, at this point why wouldn’t he just go for it?

He might be doing it off some vague instinct that it will let him stay president, but that instinct is dumb and wrong and not anything to worry about.

My question is if he faces certain prosecution after leaving office for crimes we may not even know of yet, failing a military coup attempt would just give him the same punishment, except he has a chance to succeed by doing so and really has nothing to lose by trying… I’m not worried, but thats my gut feeling of what seems to be happening considering he’s a textbook narcissist trying to survive, and honestly I wouldn’t even mind if he tries it and takes down the system in the process, although it would be horrible for all of us it at least allows small hope for a better future of which now we have none

Highly unlikely. The dems won’t do this for the same reason that mob bosses don’t just call hits on each other. It would invite Republicans to prosecute them for their own corruption.
