The New York Times Has Called for Insurrection and the Destruction of the Constitution TWICE in 48 Hours

Is there something in the water at the New York Times?

Over the course of the last 48 hours, the supposed ‘paper of record’ has advocated for a military coup against Trump and called for the abolishment of the U.S. Senate and the Electoral College, and to pack the U.S. Supreme Court.

These are the people who claim to want to save Democracy? Really?

This column by two members of the Obama administration was published yesterday:

From the column:

We Used to Think the Military Would Stand Up to Trump. We Were Wrong.

By ordering 800 National Guard troops to Washington, on the pretext of an illusory crime wave, President Trump has further dragged the U.S. military into domestic law enforcement, in a move credibly perceived as an ominous “test case.” This continues what the administration started in California in June as part of the its deportation efforts.

Unfortunately, though we (and others) had hoped that the military would only respond to calls to action in American cities and states kicking and screaming, we no longer expect resistance from that institution. Once, perhaps, traditionalist officers might have leaned on protocol and refused to heed a lawless order, taking inspiration from the generals — Mark Milley and James Mattis — who resisted the uprooting of established military standards in the first Trump term.

Then today, the New York Times published this:

These are the same people who will then turn around lecture the rest of us about democracy. They are basically admitting that they can’t win unless they radically change the rules.

Trump and Republicans are in power now. Should they begin making radical changes to the system right now? Would that still be a good idea or is it only a good thing if Democrats do it? That is a rhetorical question, of course. We all know the answer.
