Trump's sinister plan to avoid another Jan. 6

Donald Trump and the MAGA movement’s coup attempt on Jan. 6 never stopped, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: The Republican Party and right-wing at its highest levels in Congress , interest groups, think tanks, donors and financiers, and others who organized, aided, and abetted the plot against democracy have not faced serious consequences for their crimes and wrongdoing. Zelizer says a coup where the participants are not severely punished is just practice for the next attempt.

Julian Zelizer: Democracy Futures Project simulations show it's hard to stop a ruthless president from stripping away basic freedoms.

Zelizer says the guardrails and institutions protecting U.S. democracy would prove little protection for the people.

He says a president not bound by norms or law can launch a concerted assault on the rule of law in this country.

Writers: Republicans have become bolder in their plans to subvert election results in 2024 .

With fewer than 100 days until the election, Republicans are building an election subversion war machine, says Elias .

Images of the American military deployed in the streets against the American people as part of the Trump regime’s coup are not the stuff of speculative fiction or the recent film " Civil War" Images of a larger project of corporeal politics that will involve massive, non-violent protests, he says.
