| [Hanson Papers] The ’Resistance’ is using any and all means -- lies, leaks, lawbreaking, and violence -- to overturn the results of the 2016 election. The problem with the election of President Donald J. Trump was not just that he presented a roadblock to an ongoing progressive revolution. Instead, unlike recent Republican presidential nominees, he was indifferent to the cultural and political restraints on conservative pushback -- ironic given how checkered Trump’s own prior conservative credentials are. Trump brawled in a way McCain or Romney did not. He certainly did not prefer losing nobly to winning ugly. Even more ominously, Trump found a seam in the supposedly invincible new progressive electoral paradigm of Barack Obama. He then blew it apart -- by showing the nation that Obama’s identity-politics voting bloc was not transferrable to most other Democratic candidates, while the downside of his polarization of the now proverbial clingers most assuredly was. To her regret, Hillary Clinton learned that paradox when the deplorables and irredeemables of the formerly blue-wall states rose up to cost her the presidency. And now? We are witnessing a desperate putsch to remove Trump before he can do any more damage to the Obama project. Political, journalistic, and cultural elites of a progressive coastal culture aim at destroying the Trump presidency before it can finish its full four-year term. The branches of this insidious coup d’état are quite unlike anything our generation has ever witnessed. But a coup d’état or 'regime change' strategy widely used throughout Latin America, Africa, and the ME for many decades. |

| #3 Anyone, celebrities included, who talks of maiming or killing the president of the United States should be put on a terrorist no-fly list for six months. I really like that idea! But for a lot longer than six months. |

| #2 The branches of this insidious coup d’état are quite unlike anything our generation has ever witnessed. Once one starts looking into this, there is the realization that the tentacles of the network reach far and wide. It may be that the Battle of Athens (sometime called the McMinn County War will become widespread if things don't change. |
