It started with the military brass quietly indicating that the troops should not follow a presidential order.
All this enthused Joe Biden, who threw subtlety to the winds. (He 3 times) confidently asserted that the military will “escort [Trump] from the White House with great dispatch” should the president refuse to leave. Another former Vice President, Al Gore, publicly agreed.
Over the summer a story was deliberately leaked to the press of a meeting at which 100 Democratic grandees, anti-Trump former Republicans, and other ruling class apparatchiks got together (on George Soros’s dime) to “game out” various outcomes of the 2020 election.
One such outcome was a clear Trump win. In that (case) former Clinton WH Chief of Staff John Podesta, playing Biden, refused to concede, pressured states that Trump won to send Dems to the formal Electoral College vote, & trusted that the military would take care of the rest.
Two more data points - Over the summer, 2 former Army officers, both prominent in the Dem-aligned “national security” think tank world, wrote an open letter to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
About a month later, Hillary Clinton declared publicly that Joe Biden should not concede the election “under any circumstances.”
Dems know that, for it to succeed, it must not look like a conspiracy. They need to plant the idea in the public mind, now, that their unlawful and illegitimate removal of President Trump from office will somehow be his fault.
The second part of the plan is either to produce enough harvested ballots—lawfully or not—to tip close states, or else dispute the results in close states and insist, no matter what the tally says, that Biden won them.
The worst-case scenario (for the country, but not for the ruling class) would be results in a handful of states that are so ambiguous and hotly disputed that no one can rightly say who won. Of course, that will not stop the Democrats from insisting that they won.
The public preparation for that has also already begun: streams of stories and social media posts “explaining” how, while on election night it might look as if Trump won, close states will tip to Biden as all the mail-in ballots are “counted.”
The third piece is to get the vast and loud Dem-Left propaganda machine ready for war. That leaked report exhorted Democrats to identify “key influencers in the media and among local activists who can affect political perceptions and mobilize political action
At this point, it’s safe to assume that unless Trump wins in a blowout that can’t be overcome by cheating and/or denied via the ruling class’s massive propaganda operation, that’s exactly what every Democratic politician and media organ will shout.
The Podesta assumption is that the military will side with the Dems. There are reasons to fear they might. The Obama administration spent a great deal of political capital purging the officer corps of anyone not down with the program and promoting only those who are.
The Dem war games a “street fight.”... A repeat of this summer, only much, much bigger. Crank the propaganda to ear-drum shattering decibels and fill the streets of every major city with “protesters.” Shut down the country & allow only one message to be heard: “Trump must go.”
What’s come to be known as a “color revolution,” the exact same playbook the American deep state runs in other countries whose leadership they don’t like and is currently running in Belarus. Oust a leader—even an elected one—through agitation and call it “democracy.”
The events of the last few months may be interpreted as an attempted color revolution that failed to gain enough steam, or as a trial run for the fall. Is the Trump Administration prepared?
Here’s 1 thing POTUS could do: play their own war game scenario & game out possibilities & minimize surprises. They should be talking to people inside & outside of govt whom they absolutely trust to get a clearer sense of who on the inside won’t go along w/ a coup & who might
President Trump also needs to set up or shore up—now—communication channels that don’t rely on the media or Big Tech.
Once the ruling class gives word that the narrative is “Trump lost,” all the president’s social media accounts will be suspended.

The T.V. channels, with the likely exception of Fox News, will refuse to cover anything he says.
President Trump is going to need a way to talk to the American people and he has to find the means, now.
If there is a conspiracy to remove President Trump from office even if he wins, they’re telling you about it precisely to get you ready for it, so that when it happens you won’t think it was a conspiracy; you’ll blame the president.

Don’t be fooled.
