As we approach Election Day, let’s take a look at where things stand as of now –
- Election Boards – Unqualified, hyper-partisan MAGA fanatics have been installed in key roles in various county and state election boards across the country.
- Election Day – Hundreds of Thousands of dangerous extremists plan to threaten and intimidate voters and poll workers on the day of the election. On a much bigger scale than they did in 2020. Just check out the videos.
- Media –
- Fox News and other fringe right-wing media outlets are spewing lies and propaganda on a 24/7 news cycle.
- Elon Musk has converted Twitter/X into a mouthpiece of disinformation and extremist breeding ground.
- Judiciary – Supreme Court has been stacked with a super majority of conservatives, along with corrupt justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
- Legislature – A record number of MAGA fanatics have been elected Congress in recent years. They put loyalty and fidelity to Trump above all else, including the country. The Republican Party is now effectively a MAGA cult. Moderates have either been kicked out (like Liz Adams, Adam Kinzinger) or silenced (like Mitt Romney).
- Executive –
- Transition team – Over 4000 loyalists already identified to take over key roles across the government within the first 30 days.
- The Final Purge – Replacing non-partisan career bureaucrats with fanatics and kicking out any remaining moderates through executive action.
- Vengeance & Retribution – Trump plans to weaponize the Justice Department (DOJ, FBI) and seek vengeance against those who were critical of him. He has already singled out individuals and news organizations that he will go after. The fear and chaos that will ensue will cement his grip on power.
- Checks & Balances – None. The thinking that American democracy is resilient and can withstand a direct assault like this, is flawed. As you can see above, the so called “checks and balances” that the founding fathers framed into the constitution will no longer exist by that point.
This may not have been a coordinated plan from the beginning, but various elements of it have been in the making for years. Most of this is from the playbooks of other Authoritarians in history.
When Trump lost the 2020 election and couldn’t seize power through Insurrection, he and his extremist followers including white supremacists and corrupt opportunists went into a frenzy to get us to this dangerous point.
If you are still wondering what all of this means…
This is how a Coup is carried out against a Democracy.
