Report Prompts Call for Democrats to Halt Transfer of Power to Trump Before 12/13 Deadline [View all]

The Strategic Institute for Intersectional Policy (SIIP) has called for an immediate halt to all efforts related to the transfer of power between the Obama Administration and the Trump Campaign. This call came after a recent analysis revealed that there is strong evidence to suggest that Donald Trump and the members of his campaign intentionally engaged in voter suppression tactics in an attempt to alter the results of the 2016 Presidential Election. Further, the strategic deployment of voter suppression tactics was designed, refined and implemented over the course of a number of years by a network of organizations and individuals attempting to secure power for the alt-right.

The Alt-right’s checklist to take control of the federal government without the use of military force was as follows:

- Infiltrate Congress – Achieved 2010

- Eliminate Funding Restrictions – Achieved 2010

- Take Control of the RNC – Achieved in 2011

- Kill Voting Protections – Achieved in 2013

- Take Control of Congress – Achieved in 2014

- Take Control of the Supreme Court – Achieved if 1) Obama administration doesn’t successfully counter efforts to delay appointment and 2) if the Republican candidate secures the Presidency

- Take Control of the Presidency – Goal:2016

By 2016, all that was left for the alt-right to achieve a full takeover of the government of the United States - without firing one shot - was gaining control of the Presidency.
