Icon I agree they are inept, and I try to imagine...

Yes, they are most definitely inept, many of their supporters are poorly educated, and stupid, Trump himself says this and openly says that he loves that they are not very bright. It does allow them to be easily conned. That is some of them, but some of them are also very well organized, David often brings them up, the Heritage Foundation, a variety of think tanks, Center for Policy, Federalist Society, basically the influencers that are writing policy, picking judges, and working out the logistics of destroying our democracy. 

Yes, Trump is a moron and a freak, but yes, if they find someone that is not as stupid and blatant, they could execute some of these plans they are coming up with. 

I often find myself trying to imagine how they would do what they want to do. This is a huge country, as everybody knows, and despite how stupid we look because of Trump, in all honesty the majority of people in this country are very much opposed to him and his MAGA nonsense.

The problem is, the way our government is structured, it does not favor the majority of the population, it favors a minority, and that minority holds an advantage in our House and Senate.  Particularly in the Senate where each state gets two senators to represent them. So, while it looks like when they show the map of red and blue states that most of the country is red, the vast majority of the population lives in the blue states. Meaning the much smaller number of Christian fascists that live in red areas, have a much greater say in how we govern than they should. This is our biggest issue in terms of our government. It is not so much the number of parties we have, it is that the representation is structured such that states with far lower populations get to tell the states with larger populations how they are to be governed. It's a bit of a bad joke at this point. 

But there is an issue with having two dominant parties, which is basically that to actually do a takeover of our government, to execute the actual destruction of democracy through a movement like MAGA, you only need to take over and destroy one of the parties. MAGA has successfully destroyed what once was the Republican party. Ask any educated conservative in this country and they will tell you conservatism is dead, killed by the MAGA movement. The problem for MAGA, is it is not really a unified group. It is disparate factions joined currently by the goal of wiping out democracy. However, these factions do not agree on what to do if they ever achieve that. If they do achieve it, well, the various factions will then break apart and begin to feud among themselves and a struggle for power would ensue. 

MAGA is made up of the most virulent groups of our society and they do not all agree on what they want. This is in part why Trump is saying they will fix it so there will be no more voting. This is why they want to be able to use the US Military on the streets of our nation. They will need a suppressing force to use against their own people. This will come as a surprise to many of these Trump supporters if it happens but by the time they realize it, it would be too late.  

The people at the top of the pyramid, people writing policy suggestions like the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 manual, know that to maintain order after the takeover, would require plenty of blunt force. It would require blunt force during the takeover as well, because the people of this country that believe in and have lived by democratic principals are not going to just toss those aside for a nitwit like Donald Trump. 

So, when I imagine what it would look like, yes, the only way to accomplish their goals would be as the wacko in that video I posted to Pat says, forget about rights, suspend them, and start arresting and/or killing anybody that resists. And you would need the US Military to accomplish that...because despite what that idiotic traitor said in one of the other videos I posted, you are not going to accomplish that with Smitty and the Bikers for Trump. 

This is why supposed Republicans, now turned MAGA, are talking openly of violence, civil war, and overthrow...you can't take over a country like this with a moron like Trump without killing and/or jailing enough people that you frighten the rest into compliance. They know this, they are openly talking about it. It is part of why Trump wanted absolute immunity, because to do what they need to do for a full takeover will require killing fellow Americans. They are prepping the populace for what is to come, what they intend to do. 

I would think that would give people pause, when one of the leaders of the Heritage Foundation, in one of the videos I posted to Pat, openly warns Democrats that this takeover will only be bloodless if they allow it...and he means that. He means, don't put up a fight, we will spill your blood if you do. An open threat. 

That is fucking shameful. When our Supreme Court ruled that a president has absolute immunity for anything HE/SHE declares an official act, that was the domino that needed to fall for a Project 2025 to happen. I can only assume that is why the 6 Republican appointed justices ruled that way. 

Although, I will say this, I think there would be some massive surprises for these MAGA/Heritage clowns. I do not think the US Military will follow an order to kill their fellow Americans. That would not work. When that moment came, the coup would end abruptly. Also, I believe, that while some of the money in this country is behind turning this into a kleptocracy, most of it is not. So, MAGA shitheads and smarmy Heritage foundation scum would get crushed by both our military turning against them, and most of the wealth in this country turning against them. These people have overplayed their hand. 

This I know for a fact.
