I think the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society will pull Trump if he gets in their way of changing the entire U.S. into their version of Project 2025. Trump propagandized MAGA, but they have shown they are willing to be led by anyone that agrees with their MAGA views (Vance).

trump isn't able to get to square one on any of this. He's got an ARMY of corrupt, evil lawyers (yeah, that's repetitive) advising him on what he can try and maybe get away with. That's part of the enemy you face.

I pray you’re right. But could it be destruction and profit are their motives and not a coup?

There are more layers to this rotten onion.

I remember thinking during the last trump regime "thank goodness they are so bad at crimes". I think that might be the thing that saves us again.

They’re stupid but Project 2025 and Putin are the ones calling the shots. 💙🇺🇦

You're paying attention to the smoke and mirrors, while they carefully replace strategic positions with their loyalists.

Hope you're right. 😐

I saw a successful fascist soft coup on 1/20/25, when a man who had a mob attack Congress in 2021 was handed USA's power again. All three branches are under the control of traitors now, & Trump & Musk break law constantly, and nothing is done that stops them. Sounds like a successful coup to me.

Empire? How about just a desolate wasteland? I think they can get one those going, no problem. Because they are idiots. Not despite it.

Hopefully, but there are many ‘competent’ evil individuals working ‘behind the scenes’ like Steven Miller and Russell Vought (at OMB). Pam Bondi is wicked and Kash Patel knows how things work. I’m wondering when The Felon is going to declare an emergency and unleash the military on us.

Your government is experiencing a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. Don’t worry, we’re learning a lot and we’ll be back with another one next year.

They might be as dumb as a box of rocks, but they've got Congress and SCOTUS carrying water for them. All Trump has to do is blather incoherently about being king and the Alito court will rule that yes, he is king. The face of the coup is dumb but the brains behind it (Thiel et al.) are not.

Maybe but now there are too many more hungry & ambitious Project 2025 players involved.
Before the smarter people in the room were the guardrails. Now he’s surrounded by pure evil.

Violent revolution will occur and the fascists will be overthrown. If trump wants his coup to succeed he should introduce gun control. Miller will be hung off a bridge. A constitutional amendment to allow people will allow Arnie to rule with 1st exec order to allow Cuban cigars to be imported

At least Trump only works a 3 day week. The other 4 he is with his carers in Florida.

marcusaurealius007.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes Trump is stupid but the people around him like the authors of Project 2025 aren't! They have already started the coup!

jfrv.bsky.social•24 days ago

They might not be stupid, technically, but they're defective humans, lacking empathy among other necessary qualities. They're stubbornly disconnected from reality, heads proudly full of distortions & untruths, & that is their great weakness. Same as it ever was.

marcusaurealius007.bsky.social•23 days ago

Isn't that same as being stupid? Lack of critical thinking.
