31. Sorry, I believe history will show this coup started in 2000 with the SCOTUS making Bush POTUS.

Feb 2020

Hopefully, someday a historian will follow the trail from 2000 to tRump. With some minor bumps (Obama & 2018 House win) in the RW long-range plan for complete sustained control of our Democracy. They have been picking away at the underpinning of our Democracy. Removing the checks and balances the founder put into our Constitution.

In between 2000 and 2020 they have stolen presidential elections, implement programs to suppress voting, gerrymandered states to solidify their congressional control, denied an elected president his right to appoint a SCOTUS justice, used the SCOTUS to enable dark money to influence elections (Citizen United), with Russian election interference they have installed a highly unqualified maniac in the WH, they have installed hundreds of RW judges in our federal court, they have destroyed the legislative branch of the government with the help of MoscowMitch AND NOW they will do whatever it takes to plant the maniac back in the WH for a second term.

They have taken us full circle from breaking away from a monarchy to installing a homegrown tyrannical monarch at the head of our government. A tyrant who already has plans to continue his dynasty starting with his firstborn.

What did I leave out...OH yes! A lasting war throughout the middle east, ignoring global warming aka climate change, a refusal to accept reusable energy source while continuing to pollute the environment with non-renewable oil and coal. To name a few additional RW ideas.
