Step 1: break government. Make agencies impotent, make Congress a joke and unable to function

Step 2: grant absolute immunity to the head of government

Step 3: create chaos, or the appearance of chaos

Step 4: people will beg for a strong leader to take charge and fix this mess

Step 5: Orbanistic, soft dictatorship

Step 6: After four years of Trump, inflation jumps because of tariffs (10% on everybody 60% on China), retaliation and world wide recession results coupled with other Trump policies. Step 7: Democrats make an enormous gains in 2028 (similar to FDR in 1932 and the British election today where the Labour party threw out the conservatives after 14 years of rule)

I wish I could hold your step 7 in mind as a light at the end of the tunnel we seem to be headed into. But as I've said repeatedly since T***p was forced to leave on 1/20, if he ever gets back in the Oval Office he will ONLY leave on a stretcher - hopefully in a body bag. There will be no 2028 election if he's still alive - and I'm not sure he won't set it up so that Don Jr. steps in if he kicks the bucket.

I was so glad to hear Liz Cheney say basically the same thing when she was on her book tour. He did his best not to leave the first time; he will make damn sure not to again.
