If I take the FBI at its word that there may be demonstrations at some /many/ most / all state capitols, in addition to Washington, DC, I foresee several Kent State type incidents.
At his worst, e.g. Executive Orders, Rainbow Six, The Bear And The Dragon, Clancy would never have written something this ridiculous. Early in the Trump presidency I compared it to a middling Philip K. Dick novel, but we’ve actually gone into Robert Anton Wilson territory.
Ridiculous, yes. And yet, off the top of my head I can think of at least two newly-elected Congresspeople that Biden and Harris should watch their back around, lest there be any ‘Manchurian Candidate’ style shenanigans planned.
Executive Orders is about as close as we would get, with an early scene where a disgraced Vice President changes his mind and steals his resignation letter back so that he can make a false claim to the presidency. However, he does not enjoy the support of any other politicians. There is a weaponized ebola attack (courtesy of Iran) and this results in a nationwide travel restriction. The ex-VP files a lawsuit against this travel restriction because FREEDOM and while he wins the lawsuit, he also names the current President in the lawsuit, negating his own claim to the office. However, a few novels later (Locked On, which I think is Clancy at his absolute worst) this disgraced VP has run for President and somehow won.
So, fellow patriot, were you with the revolutionary forces in the Crossing of The Potomac to oust the traitorous scoundrel Biden during the Second Revolution of 2021?
No, my AirBnB reservation got cancelled, and I didn’t have enough Hilton points.
