Liz, always love your perspective and comments. I also like Kurt, but I believe he's thinking small in this arena. To use a flawed analogy, his proposed solution(s) are like the military plans that were prepared for the invasion of Japan. Unbeknownst to lower level strategists, a weapon had been developed that would render those entire efforts null.

Likewise, why fight hand-to-hand combat on individual beaches and towns, when a MOAB can be dropped on the entire proglib edifice? I know a lot of people think Trump has been damaged by the attempted coup, but in actuality it's the greatest gift that can be given any leader. Consider if Trump had experience a normal transition of power - who would be suggesting calling out the Marines and/or circumventing established criminal justice procedures?

On the contrary, we find ourselves actively engaged in CWII; albeit low level legal fighting at this point. However, the point stands that when Trump prevails, he is going to be able to wield 'scary' power. After all, that's what happens when you fail to kill the king - the chopping block literally comes out to 'process' thousands of traitors.

All Trump has to do is win in November - it really is that simple. That sets up stacking the SC and passing certain legislation like the wall, voter ID, etc. Once that's in place, it's fairly trivial to destroy proglib institutional control in media and education. So, win in November, using the attempted coup as the red flag to wave in front of the voting populace.

Easy breezy, amiright? And what is Trump doing? Exactly.
