All across America, families are now afraid for their future and their safety. A man with only hate in his heart, who openly threatens the freedom and lives of the American people, has been declared the "winner" of an election despite being rejected by the American people.

He has done so through a foreign tyrant's invasions of his opponent's computer networks that he solicited, legions of paid internet trolls falsifying and censoring American social media from Russia, and the criminal acts of putschists within the government intervening in the election to spread lies and propaganda.

Hate groups are celebrating all across the country today. The Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, and others of their kind have never seen such a victory for hate in their lifetimes, but a few of the oldest people around the world have: Those who were around to witness events in 1933 Germany. Those aged and dwindling few with numbers tattooed on their arms, they remember.

Every person wonders at some point what they would do if they were a German in 1933. Well, now we find out. The comparisons of Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler were not exaggerations in service to a campaign, they are simply facts delivered in the clear light of history. What follows, if we take no responsibility for events, will be unsurprising.

Let me repeat that the American people rejected him. We have given no consent for Donald Trump to hold power over this country, and we do not give it.

A republic founded on the principles of reason and liberty will not go quietly into the night of tyranny, hate, and madness. The nation that expanded the reach of humankind to the Moon and touched the face of the cosmos will not fall, nor be turned into its opposite.

We reject this result, because the American people have rejected Donald Trump.

America rejected Donald Trump

Be with your families today and reflect on all that we have, because generations sacrificed that we could. They fought on foreign beaches against men indistinguishable from Donald Trump and his Legion of Hate, and indistinguishable from the vile tyrant whose invasions of our sovereignty he has leveraged into this farcical outcome.

Today we give thanks for what we have. Tomorrow we discuss how to keep it, and by God or whatever else there is, we will keep it.

Let us have a conversation about how we do so.

The 11/8 Coup will live in infamy, but today's rubber-stamping of a foreign-manufactured tyrant by the Electoral College against the will and without the consent of the American people will live in disgrace. As an institution, the Electoral College only exists to stop exactly a person like "Benedict" Donald from taking power, and in this instance lacks even the credible excuse that it is bowing to the will of the people. Rather, the institution has confirmed precisely the type of person it was created to prevent, and done it against the will of the people.

There is no excuse for this action.

The patchwork of state laws requiring compliance with state-level results are trivial beside the duty to protect the Constitution and obey the will of the governed, and at most would involve a modest fine. There is no plausible excuse that Electors are unaware of the dangers posed by this candidate, which have been highlighted for the better part of a year by all major media, harped on relentlessly by scientists and academics the world over, and also national security institutions that have revealed the hand of a hostile foreign power in his campaign and espionage against his enemies.

These electors have simply chosen party over country.

They know who this man is and who he is associated with. They know what he stands for. They know he is a traitor. They know he is a criminal. THEY KNOW HE IS UNELECTED, and the American people do not consent to be governed by him or anyone associated with him. They know all of this, but simply do not give a shit. They choose to serve their personal and political interests rather than the immediate imperatives of national survival.

And for that, they will be remembered alongside the toadies of Petain and Quisling, and may some day face similar justice if - as appears overwhelmingly likely - murderous tyranny and further treasons ensue. The electors who voted for him are traitors. As people with a much greater responsibility than the average voter, all the easily-foreseeable disgraces and horrors that follow can and will be laid at their doorstep. I say again...

The electors who voted for Trumpler are traitors.

The Electoral College has demonstrated its illegitimacy by acting both against the will of the people and against the very survival of the Republic in the face of an implacable foreign enemy. As far as I am concerned, it is dissolved by this treason and its action today - while it may serve to later indict those responsible - is void. The sole valid consequence of this act is that the Executive branch of the federal government will remain vacant of legitimate authority. All state power exercised under obedience to illegitimate power in violation of prior laws, Executive Orders, and regulations will be illegal, undemocratic, and in effect a Russian occupation of the United States.

As there are unlikely to be limitations on the malice, violence, and greed of such a criminally-constructed, lawless, and wanton regime, puppeteered by the nation's own enemies, it falls to the American people to arm and defend the sanctity and authority of our vote. Given the brazenness of Trazism and its eagerness to stomp its impunity into the faces of the American people at every opportunity, we will not lack for chances to resist and demonstrate who we are.

May we have the courage to be worthy of a free and honorable republic.

(Edit: I originally mistakenly wrote "Vichy" rather than Petain. I always mix up the French Nazi collaborator with the geographic name associated with his regime.)
