      The only thing that keeps a president in power is the threat of the military, and funding. Take both away, and suddenly you’re nothing.

      That what Maduro did in Venezuela, he just refused to leave when he lost the election, and the rest of the government went along with it.

      I thought HitlerPig might attempt that in January 2021, but he really blew ALL of his political capital with his Insurrection. If he had tried to remain in the White House after that, they would have dragged him out in cuffs.
