What’s amazing to me about the people who are facilitating the downfall of democracy on behalf of their oligarch and demagogue buddies is that they’ve deluded themselves into believing that they will still be of use, once democracy is good and dead.
If you’re looking to murder democracy, you need accomplices, people in positions of power within the existing government to help get the job done. But once it’s done, what do you need those accomplices for anymore? If anything, they’re just loose ends for you to tidy up within your full-on fascistic government.
The Teds Cruz and Clarences Thomas of the world serve a purpose in helping achieve a hateful goal, but once they’ve outlived their usefulness, they will absolutely be made to disappear, if for no other reason than because they know too much.
They’re basically setting up a scenario whereby they will either be facing an angry mob for their role in attempting to kill democracy, or else they will be facing a purification squad once they successfully replace democracy.
“So what if we burn down the government. What are ya gonna do? Impeach us?”
I don’t think they realize that if the government burns down, there’s nothing to stop the beheadings.
I don’t want beheadings. I want a functioning government. Unfortunately, not everyone is a pacifist.

Not great on long-term planning, if you ask me.
