Trump's plan to end democracy
Donald Trump has a plan, as reported yesterday by Jonathan Swan of Axios. He wishes to emulate Grover Cleveland and serve two non-consecutive terms as President. He wants to fill his next administration with “people of courage.”
The unusual definition of courage in Trump’s world is the enthusiasm that various “yes” men and women lick his orange paw by repeating his lies and delusions. The Trump movement has long been a cult of personality. The modern Republican Party is a hollow and empty vessel that abandoned all pretense of standing for anything other than Trump, when it obliterated its party platform, turning it into a loyalty oath to Trump and his insanity.
Trump leads an autocratic movement that has become overtly fascistic. His circle has narrowed to a fringe of loyalists. Each familiar name belongs to a person who is unfit to ever serve in a position of public trust and responsibility.
The corrupt Koch organization make an appearance with the corrupt Heritage Foundation, and a long list of the addled, ill, fascist and disgraced, with familiar names like Mark Meadows, Stephen Miller and Jason Miller.
These people are all collectively and openly working to destroy the capacity of the US Government to function. The reason they are doing this is to be in position to claim the answer is absolute power for them and their cause. Their cause is Trump, and a restoration of his political power. The United States will enter a period of crisis the moment Trump begins his next campaign. The feebleness of the response to the last two years of his madness has brought us to this inevitable moment. He’s back.
