20. I agree. Trump isn't what they want, he's just the key to the door.

Once they're in, it's over for democracy. So, we don't let them get in. It's no coincidence that Republican leaders for the last half century at least have been controllable. Reagan likely had Alzheimer's long before he ran, Bush the Lesser was a dry drunk, and Trump... Well, multiple issues they didn't realize were going to tank his election.

Also, what happened in 2020 can't happen today, because Trump's not in charge. He doesn't control the National Guard, or anything else. Joe Biden does. And the Supreme Court basically have him full immunity, not just Trump.

Conservatives have been planning a quiet coup for decades now. It's nothing new. History is full of them testing things, using the government to get people at each other, and not paying attention to what they're doing.

There's a reason education is so bad, that they discourage people from learning. A dumb population is a controlled population. "1984" took a bit longer to get started, but it's always been a work in progress. Reality TV, news all owned by the big money corporations, no true free press, the only way to get real news is through the Internet, and they've tried to control that.

Don't forget, they had PNAC long before Project 2025. None of this is new. It's the same old shit in a different wrapper.

I'm not saying there won't be things when he loses. They have to try, and the MAGA minions are stupid and thing they're going to be some kind of heroes that "saved" America.

Don't forget that Joe Biden isn't a fool. Neither is Kamala Harris. You can bet your life they've already gotten plans laid out, have intel about what could or would happen. They aren't going to let Trump and his masters stomp on America.

I trust them. And if they mess up, well, there's always that bloodbath Trump threatened us with. I'll go down fighting, you damn well better believe that.
