I don't think this is their only motivation, but it certainly may factor into it.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Trump is doing Official Duties. He can pardon any little mistakes made by the others. What's the problem?

How am I scoffing?

fracturedart.bsky.social•12 days ago

You said you didn’t believe it was the reason. In fact I think destroying the government is the main reason Musk is doing this. He thinks he will end up king of the world.

gpgomez.bsky.social•12 days ago

You need work on your reading comprehension. I said I didn't think it was the only reason

manleypeebles.bsky.social•12 days ago

Exactly. This is why those pundits looking forward to exacting payback during the next election cycle are deluded. They don't realize they're already living under an authoritarian regime.

bierquaffer.bsky.social•12 days ago

They need to change it sufficiently such that they never leave. Else they could be held accountable.

itsnotathing.bsky.social•12 days ago

When they do not obey a judge’s order they immediately need to be held in contempt and jailed.

Elon musk must be strip from American citizenship lie when he took his test. His intentions was to destroy our democracy. Not even his own country want anything to do with him

cousinb.bsky.social•12 days ago

They certainly know they broke the law. They see it as 'you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette".

None of them will ever go to jail. Even if he leaves peacefully after his four years he will simply issue preemptive pardons to all of his cronies.

sadlyinredstate.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think the breaking of so many laws, rules &our constitution was just the means to an end for ppl used to getting their way no matter what/ by STEAMROLLING over anyone not getting out of their way. It all seems like a lazy effort to restructure with little planning-regardless of consequences.

karzrus.bsky.social•12 days ago

Agree but we need massive numbers in order to get enough people to actually stop these assholes.

Except they can just pardon themselves on their way out the door. There's an out.

faafouniversity.bsky.social•12 days ago

Doesnt matter wat their initial motive was,what matters is,the fact they have broken so many laws&their plan is outed.They will be forced to do whatever's necessary to stay in power,or Republicans will never hold office again.We'll never have another fair election!

Military, get ready

Wait and see what our GNP does. Probably will de-value by the same proportion.

luckylu626.bsky.social•12 days ago

That would mean a DOJ and SCOTUS that actually does their job based on law and not politics.

ussterraesa.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah it’s not their original motivation but now they are bound to carry it through whether they want to or not. The stakes are too high for them.

scurvydawg2112.bsky.social•12 days ago

Any authoritarian regime has to have total control or the cracks will cause it to crumble. Why else do dictators always die or flee in exile?

paultfras.bsky.social•12 days ago

Personally, I believe this would be a cakewalk, given how easy the sheep are manipulated (they may have started to believe their own propaganda of the huge majority win). They aren't desperate yet, but the time will come. I bet they believe they are untouchable because of wealth or to big to fail.

Read Macbeth by Shakespeare, he illustrates that well.

Moscow was the same in 2022, when they failed to take Ukraine over in weeks. But they endured.

So, they hope to endure enough.

That's why they fully collaborate with Putin and Xi since long.

ravenna321.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yep, they're all in so we need to be too.

We were all warned ahead of time. By a co-author of Project 2025 and a leader of the Heritage Foundation no less:

"[...] the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." - Kevin Roberts

He was not speaking hypothetically.

gtconway.bsky.social•12 days ago

This is a common theme with autocratic governments. They can’t surrender power because they fear prosecution for their crimes.

just-michelle.bsky.social•11 days ago

They also can’t surrender power, or money, because like a true Kleptomaniac, they are addicted to the Process of Acquiring More, so they will never have enough. Every Acquisition is a jolt of success, so potent that they are planning on how to take more, before the glow wears off, better than sex.

sloughhorse.bsky.social•12 days ago

Have you ever wondered what Putin and Musk talked about? Is Putin the greatest chess master in the world? Did he plant the seed and told Elon how he could become president as an immigrant? The West is destabilized. Putin is winning! Ukraine to Putin and Canada to Trump. Risk board.

valerair.bsky.social•12 days ago

Easter Europe to Putin.

That all spells “ criminal intent” to me. Sad they have to resort to that in order to lead.

nghthawke.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump is a senior who doesn't give a damn. A lot of seniors get that way when they're "this close" to the grave.
Trump is at that stage in his life where he literally can do anything because nobody will come for him when he's six feet under. Geriatric politicians shouldn't be allowed.

gpgomez.bsky.social•12 days ago

And given that Trump is already a convicted felon & was on the eve of consequences when he was elected again, he has a pretty strong incentive to never surrender power.
