Riot and protest instigators plan to “make sure Trump leaves the White House” by any
means necessary after the Nov. 3 election, according to website posts from the group
Shut Down DC and their allies. “W]e’re making plans to be in the streets before the
polls even close, ready to adapt and respond to whatever comes our way,” the group says
on its website currently.

“Trump has shown that he will stop at nothing to maintain his grip on power. Trump will
not leave office without mass mobilization and direct action,” an Oct. 13 version of the
same web page reads, according to Internet Archive records.

The group linked to protests at the homes of Trump administration officials tells its
DC-area supporters to “Come to Black Lives Matter Plaza” on election night “to create
serious disruption if Trump really tries to steal the election!” Black Lives Matter
Plaza is the site of repeated anti-Trump summer rioting and defacement of the historic
Saint John’s Church one block away from the White House.

On the page, Shut Down DC sketches out its plans for election night and immediately
following. On Nov. 4-7, the group says it plans to “do whatever it takes”:

In the days following the election we’ll continue to come out
into the streets every day to respond to rapidly changing
events. We may be waiting for votes to be counted or we may be
responding to major attacks on democracy. Over the next few
weeks we’ll use our Spokes Council process to plan actions
that are flexible and can scale to respond to a lot of
different scenarios.

Then, on Nov. 8-11, the group’s plan is to meet members of Congress returning to
Washington DC for the lame-duck session. “If Trump is trying to launch a coup, that’s no
time for business as usual. We’ll meet them at the train station or the airports or if
they drive into town we can meet them at their homes,” the website says.

A slide deck posted on the group’s website from an “organizing call” claims this group
is working in concert with leftist groups around the nation to prepare for President
Trump to “steal the election” and attempt a “coup.” The slides pinpoint now as the time
these groups are “gathering gear” to respond.

The post-election plan of action links to the group’s advice about taking “appropriate
precautions” for security. This includes forming “affinity groups” “that will go into
more detail and possibly engage in higher risk actions.”

“Keep in mind that not everyone needs to know every detail of your plans,” says the
post-election plan about “taking appropriate precautions.” “We don’t! Feel free to only
share what people outside your [affinity group] need to know, and keep the specific
action details close to the vest.”

What kinds of actions these might be are stated in a “Strategic framework for action
following the 2020 election” that sketches out their plans for rioting and attacking
American institutions and life until Biden is installed as president. It claims if Trump
declares victory that will mark “the start of the coup.”

“At some point in the days following the election Trump will almost certainly either
attempt to declare outright victory or attempt to invalidate the results of the
election. That is the start of the coup,” it claims. “…Trump can only seize power if the
world believes that he has the power. That’s why we’re starting this phase of the
election in the streets… We need to show that we’re ungovernable under a continued Trump
administration…That can mean blocking traffic at major intersections and bridges,
shutting down government office buildings (why should ICE or the FBI be able to keep
doing Trump’s bidding when he’s leading with a coup?!?), or blockading the White House.”

The document bases its action plan upon the scenarios projected by the establishment
leftist “Transition Integrity Project” for election night and sketches these activists’
response to each, explicitly rejecting the possibility that Trump could legitimately
win. It continues:

We’ll keep it going until Trump concedes. We could be in the streets throughout the fall
and into the winter– maybe as lots of rolling waves of action or possibly as a few major
tsunamis! In other parts of the country, as vote counts conclude, our focus will turn
from protecting the vote counts to themselves being ungovernable.

As it becomes clear that Trump’s coup is failing, institutions and the elites will start
to abandon him – or we will approach them as part of the problem. Either Amazon will
shut down AWS for the Trump loyalists in the government or we’ll shut down their
fulfillment centers. Either governors will tell their national guards to stand down or
we’ll shut down their state capitals as well. Over time, Trump will grow increasingly
isolated and his empire will crumble down around him.

Then — and this is the important part — Biden will move into the White House and be
sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

On its Facebook page, the group recently posted a picture of a mob arriving at Sen.
Lindsey Graham’s house at 6 a.m. to harass him for following the Constitution. In the
picture, one protest sign reads, “We can’t sleep so neither should Lindsey.”


“Preventing Donald Trump from stealing the election and remaining in office is likely to
take mass, sustained disruptive movements all over the country,” the group’s website
posted on Oct. 7.

“Puting [sic] pressure on the media and social media agencies to refuse to declare a
victor, resisting demands to call the vote in forvor [sic] of Trump, physically
protecting the vote count from counter-protestors, federal agents, or white supremacist
militias are all potential actions in this moment,” says the group’s “Disruption Guide
for 2020.” The guide, a Google document, had 61 viewers at the moment it was reviewed
for The Federalist.

Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
love this country.
