    In order to get there, they need to recognize the fact that if they make themselves a disposable rubber-stamp for everything a dictator does, inevitably the dictator realizes he doesn’t even need them anymore and disposes of them.

    I hope they are at the point of realization, but I have doubts.

      He’s made himself king already. The “opposition” in government is performative at this point.

      He made himself “chairman for life” on his Board of Peace. He will not give up power. He will get MAGA to declare civil war before he ever steps down.

        “The redhats are coming! The redhats are coming! … on their rascal scooters…”

        I know that’s a revolutionary war reference, but it will work for this modern Civil War 2.0
