We constantly intervene in the elections around the world where elections are rigged or a despot does not leave after defeat. Could it be time that we get foreign countries to intervene in America similarly?
Donald Trump has done what no other superpower was able to do to us. They have turned us into a banana republic without the use of nuclear weapons let alone a gun or a war.

An absurd political moment calls for an absurd political solution.
By Farah Stockman
It’s been four weeks since Joe Biden was declared the winner of a hard-fought election. The votes have been counted in Georgia. Three times. Yet the incumbent refuses to admit defeat and released a 46-minute video alleging “massive fraud.” He’s made it clear that he’s not going to go quietly. So I’m sure you’re all wondering what I’ve been wondering: When is the international community going to step in and resolve this crisis?
Sure, Joe Biden won both the Electoral College and the popular vote. But the president refuses to give up. He’s got some militias in the north and the south solidly behind him, along with large sections of the country. You know what that means. Conditions are ripe for the secretary of state of some foreign country to parachute in and broker a power-sharing deal, as John Kerry did in Afghanistan in 2014. Maybe Trump could serve as chief executive officer of a unity government. Or he could be put in charge of national reconciliation. If that doesn’t work, maybe it’s time for a loya jirga.
Perhaps some Middle Eastern lawmaker out there is already hard at work on a proposal for our political salvation, based on partitioning our country into semiautonomous ethno-states, just like Mr. Biden’s plan for Iraq. But I don’t think so. Aside from a few individual foreign officials expressing sadness or scorn, there’s been mostly a deafening (and awkward) silence from the rest of the world in our hour of need.
Where are the threats of sanctions unless the president respects the results of the election? Where are the stern warnings that the recommendations of international election observers must be implemented? If Mr. Trump barricades himself in the White House, like the Philippine leader Ferdinand Marcos did in 1986, who is going to play the role of Paul Laxalt and advise him that “the time has come”?

The article fails on several points. One, it assumes facts not in evidence- millions of loyal followers, when any protesting crowd measured in low thousands.
It also fails to notice reality, at noon on 20 Jan, Trump is no longer president, regardless of whatever he blathers. The Secret Service is quite adept at ejecting trespassers.
