It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État - The New Republic

The article concluded with, "That’s how fascism descends. And it’s becoming less and less hypothetical by the week."

But there's plenty to unpack, and excerpts won't do it justice. Best read it for yourselves.

meanwhile:

In Trump's Fascist America: Death Cards

The Disturbing History of ICE’s “Death Cards” - The Nation The Vietnam-era practice is yet another example of ICE agents thrilling to the brutality they have been encouraged to cultivate.

1. EO's are not law. Dems had best strike hard at that idea early and often

on other subjects than just elections.

Furthermore, the populace won't stand for it. A stolen election would have repercussions that cannot be estimatated.

4. There would be massive demonstrations that would make the NO KINGS rallies

look like a normal picnic and I doubt that even the SCoTUS would go along with Trumpedo.

5. Seems to me the populace has

stood for plenty. Wish I had your faith in 'the populace.'

9. 35% of the population aligns with or is part of his cult

The Heritage Foundation, the Religious Reicht, and the Tech Bro-ocracy are aligned with MAGA.
If you look at how the religious Iranian regime is able to keep cracking down on their educated classes, it's because they've cynically played two types within their populations - the undereducated rural communities who grew up depending on their mullahs to run their communities - keeping the peace between rural family groups that historically set themselves up along a patriarchal/tribal structure, and authoritarian drone types who are co-dependant on a hierarchy to order their lives for them (you know - the types that join police forces because they're not independent enough to do anything else that requires initiative, but still desire respect for their work...).
And then, there's those wealthy "big fish in little ponds" who cynically profit by preying on the less fortunate or gullible.

Representative governments such as Democracy, even if not totally practiced in equality is anathema to those types of populations.

10. Yet, his cult are in control of Congress,

the 'Supreme' Court, and he's squatting in the Oval Office...

with plans on staying.

2. I wish people would quit blaming everything on F45. Yeah, he's the front person for this chaos but he would

not be accomplishing anything if it were not for the oldigarchs. They are the ones ordering F45 around.

6. Sounds to me like a

'guns don't kill people' argument. As if he doesn't really want to do or say these things. They're making him.

Besides, does it really make any difference if he's merely the instrument by which they end democracy?
