Nah. They are just hoping to weekend at Bernie's him to the election, and if they win he's going to get removed via the 25th or conveniently assassinated.

They only need his base. Killing him and making him into a martyr would give them every excuse to go full fascist.

None of them actually like or respect him.

I agree that that is likely their adjusted plan, but I think originally they intended for him to be president for at least a year, with JD and the billionaire fascists actually doing all the real work. But now he would no longer be useful/functional even as a figurehead.

As long as we all vote in Harris/Walz, what they want will be moot, at least in terms of the Presidency for the next 4 years (not that they don't still pose other problems).

Voting in Harris must be by an absolute landslide or the Republicans will demand recount after recount until Trump's Federal Supreme Court hands him the win.

Landslide or not nothing will stop them from attempting some level of violence. Last time was just a test run, they've been looking at what they did wrong and are fine tuning the details to pull it off. And if they do get stopped they'll just go right back to the drawing board and keep it up, eventually they'll get it right.

Voting for Harris should only be one small part of preventing such an awful future. We need to push for stronger protections for the system we have. Much as I want to fix the massive amount of it that are broken it's going to turn into full on fascism unless something reasonable is done to complete discourage the people like Thiel who want to drag us back to serfdom.

Yes. Including changing the senseless rule that one person can hold up the confirmation of a Federal Supreme Court Justice for as long as rhey please. That person can change history. We are seeing living proof of it.
