"A president who tries to change the rules once will do it again. The more his first attempt is downgraded, has its edges smoothed, turned into a matter of differing opinion rather than a unique effort to break the American system, the easier it is for that same person to break the laws again."
Trump is already laying groundwork to contest the next election he loses. January 6th wasn't the end—it was the rehearsal. johnfdickerson.substack.com/p/pre-planni...
