The function of the RNC changes again if Trump becomes president. If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, weaponizes government agencies, and becomes a dictator on “Day One,” the RNC is likely to become a tool for some epic-level shakedowns of individuals and corporations, reminiscent of Trump’s mob-like past. “Nice corporation you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if something happened to it. So, how much can we put you down for in contributions this year?”
Corporations are likely to comply as long as they think paying the extortion is less of a hassle than fighting it. The RNC, for its part, will try to calibrate its demands to a level just below the point where corporations and wealthy individuals will balk. In practice, this looks like fundraising at a level never seen before by the RNC. In practice, a staggering amount will almost surely end up directly in the offshore accounts of the Trump family.
He’ll also likely use it to extort favor with foreign countries. With the Supreme Court about to rule that rex non potest peccare (the king can do no wrong) and Trump filling every government agency with MAGA true believers top to bottom, there will be no consequences, ever, for clearly illegal actions like accepting overseas campaign donations. If no one in the federal government is willing to investigate, prosecute, or enforce laws barring Trump and the RNC from taking in massive donations from illegal sources, there’s no disincentive to doing so. Given how much Trump seems to have taken from Saudi Arabia and China, this seems less like speculation and more like a promise. The RNC will provide the infrastructure to do this more effectively.

If you don't vote for Brandon we will become North Korea, a vassal state of China and Russia.
Trump will weaponize the DOJ and the FBI for the very first time in history to hunt you down! If you resist you will be executed on your front porch.
You and your family will then be dragged off to a concentration camp and be forced to make trinkets for the Trump family to sell.
So don't say you were not warned, the hour of doom is nigh.
The New Republic is Lefty trash......................
Gotta wonder how someone could not recognize that the Democrats already weaponizes government agencies.
“If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, weaponizes government agencies, and becomes a dictator on “Day One,” the RNC is likely to become a tool for some epic-level shakedowns of individuals and corporations, reminiscent of Trump’s mob-like past.”
They say all of that like it’s a bad thing.
Funny. I didn’t notice any shakedowns the last time Trump was president. These liberals love to project what they’re really doing.
They deserve everything they are worried about receiving, and much, much more as partial payback. What is best in life? “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!”
The RNC would not be the vehicle for establishing a dictatorship...LOL
These people are crazy.
More projection here than a 20 screen cineplex.
Every time I hear them say this, I realize it’s a dog whistle for “The Democrats have to win by any means necessary. We’ll need to cheat even more this time to ‘save democracy.’”
Weird headline?.
Hilarious
How did they feel about Ronna Romney being RNC head for years of failure?
Trump wants someone he can trust in there since he’s been backstabbed so many times. And Lara is actually a successful media operator on her own, capable of uttering a sensible sentence.
Harmeet Dhillon would have been effective too but maybe she’s Nikki Lite. Either way, the so-called Establishment “Republicans” have shown themselves to be a disaster at RNC.
Funny, this never gets mentioned when a Kennedy is running. . . .
THose who rely on the the asinine articles on Yahoo News are the sort of folks who think it is fun to rub salt in tHeir eye, and then pour Tabasco sauce in their eye in hopes of cooling down burn.
When Trump wins, he will change the orbit of Jupiter to cause mind destroying waves to kill all liberals.
Rule 1: SJW’s Always Lie.
Rule 2: SJW’s Always Project.
Rule 3: SJW’s Always Double-down. . .
Projection, Lies, and Panic Porn from a Partisan Media Shill and Stooge alert. Babylon Bee called it:
“Hereditary Dictatorship“
It doesn’t get any worse than Yahoo “news”. A rats nest of brainwashed, deluded children.
The whole article is weird and incredibly stupid.
That’s why the topic is humor.
