The 2020 Election Plot

As loads of information emerge,

We see the tactics Trump was using

If he didn't win the election:

To STEAL it IF he thought he was losing.

 

Lawsuits Claiming Election Fraud

 

First, he filed his frivolous lawsuits.

One by one, they were dismissed.

Trumped up charges don't hold water.

The evidence just didn't exist.

 

Fake Electors

 

Then he resorted to fake electors--

Another carefully thought-out plot.

His fraudulent scammers would help him win.

At least, that is what he thought.

 

Using States to Overturn Votes

 

Fake electors didn't work;

Therefore, Trump asked certain states

Not to certify the results.

That would have put us in dire straits.

 

He called many legislators

And asked them all to cancel votes.

Since they'd love to keep him in power,

He knew that would float their boats.

 

Using Congress to Overturn Votes

 

So then Trump urged his sycophants

In Congress, "Please, do what you can

To help me win!" And some of them even

Tried to help the desperate man.

 

DOJ Interference

 

Claiming widespread election fraud,

He asked Bill Barr to get to the heart of it,

But since there was no evidence,

The DOJ would have no part of it.

 

Using the Military

 

Using his unscrupulous lawyers,

He tried to concoct another means

To keep his power. The military,

He thought, could seize the voting machines!

 

Sabotage on January 6

 

That idea hit a brick wall.

Still lacking ethical sense,

He decided to pull off his scam

By putting pressure on Michael Pence.

 

On January 6 Trump's mobs

Stormed the Capitol, trying to

Sabotage the election process--

Basically, performing a coup.

 

As Trump watched the chaos on his TV,

For three hours no one could sway him

To call off the mobs. His major concern?

How could Michael Pence betray him?

 

And Now What?

 

A long, premeditated scheme

To steal an election is what occurred.

Criminal intent appears

To be so clear from all that we've heard.

 

If folks aren't held accountable,

Concerned people have the impression

That what transpired at the Capitol

Will end up being a training session--

 

A training session for coups in the future.

If that happens, it will devour

Our democratic system and end

America's peaceful transfer of power.
