Yeah, regime change happens in totalitarian states. Coups happen when someone outside government takes over. Apparently 48% of Americans are okay with this? Big test coming up re authority of courts. Being severely tested already.

So true, planned for years and coming into full bloom.
They believe in Mimetic contagion, Girard.
Communities (countries?) need a scapegoat. To kill.
Make plans and sacrifice the present for the future (kill most of us off?) and then all evils will be repaired, and the pain of existence will vanish.

With this and the vote fiddling - Democrats won very effectively, I think you can be confident that most Americans thing this government appears barking.
Just need to get it together and get rid of the incumbents
