Don't forget to mention this -- they're ALREADY planning on undermining a second Trump term.

Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November. That involves preparing to take legal action and send letters to Trump appointees spelling out consequences they’d face if they undermine constitutional norms.

“We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to,” said Mary McCord, executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law.

Part of the aim is to identify like-minded organizations and create a coalition to challenge Trump from day one, those taking part in the discussions said. Some participants are combing through policy papers being crafted for a future conservative administration. They’re also watching the interviews that Trump allies are giving to the press for clues to how a Trump sequel would look.

I’ve cited Molly Ball’s Time article numerous times elsewhere as evidence that there would be riots on election night if Trump won. “The left was ready to flood the streets.” There is also a quote that implies this group coordinated with Antifa.

The “architect” repeatedly comes up with an evil idea, projects it onto Trump, then executes it tenfold.

Read critically, this article can’t help but make your blood boil.
