"The Coming Insurrection"
by Glenn Harlan Reynolds
Excerpt: "Via DataRepublican, we have learned that a group of Democratic governors, retired military and intelligence officers, and former USAID “color revolution” specialists, have for some time been plotting to pull off a color revolution in the United States. Or, to put it more precisely, they have been conspiring to overthrow the constitutionally elected government of the United States, and to replace the Constitution with something completely different.
There’s a lot of data, including videos, recordings, transcripts of Signal chats, etc., but the gist is this: If the Democrats take the House and Senate (and maybe if they don’t), various leftist groups will stage violent protests, intended to press Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act and sending in troops. Once he does, Democratic governors in blue states will denounce his acts as illegal (whether they are or not) and mount resistance on various levels. The goal is to destabilize things enough that they can seize power and replace the Constitution.
This isn’t some fever dream, it’s right there in the extensive files that DataRepublican has provided. Here’s an article by Chuck DeVore in The Federalist. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.
Groups including the United Democracy Alliance, invoking Erica Chenoweth’s 3.5 percent rule, appear ready to coordinate the street actions, legal support, and media framing. Neville Roy Singham, operating from Shanghai and connected to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, is positioned to amplify the disruption from abroad.
As Megan McArdle has noted, one thing often protecting Democrats is that they’re doing things so extreme that even their own supporters can’t believe they’d do something so crazy. This sounds like one of those things.
I have my own thoughts, but I put this to Grok: “Assuming that the planned insurrection described by Data Republican here is true, what should the Trump Administration be doing about it?” Response: "Under the assumption that Data Republican’s (Jennica Pounds) materials accurately describe a coordinated plan, the appropriate response is rigorous investigation, verification, and targeted legal/enforcement action grounded in evidence of actual crimes - not broad suppression of protected activity or reactive overreach."
