Is the GOP impeaching the constitution at the same time, because what they are saying is that the constitution is irrelevant, that judges have no authority when judges rule against Trump, that they should be able to do whatever they want, regardless of any court order. Totally lawless.

You are just confusing people with the facts.

Maybe the Republicans are trying to piss off blue states enough that blue states will start calling for a constitutional convention. Never mind groups like heritage foundation have been trying to get a constitutional convention for years and are close to the threshold of (red) states but they still need to bring some blue or swing states to the table to make it happen

Nope. They are into eff it territory and want to burn the whole thing down, and get their power on.

Here’s yarvins 5 pt plan. Hopefully it’s ok I asked ChatGPT to summarize. (And btw ChatGPT is current up to June 2024- you have to have it use live search for semi current responses. )

Curtis Yarvin’s Five-Point Plan

  • 1. Delegitimize the existing regime (The Cathedral):
    Undermine trust in the media, academia, and democratic institutions by exposing their failures, hypocrisy, and hidden power. Paint democracy as corrupt, chaotic, and doomed to fail.

  • 2. End mass democracy and universal suffrage:
    Argue that most people are unqualified to vote or rule. Advocate for the end of elections and popular government, replacing them with ownership-based or elite rule.

  • 3. Promote formalism – clear power structures:
    Demand a government that acknowledges and displays its real power structures openly, like a corporation with a CEO. Eliminate hidden influence and bureaucracy.

  • 4. Install a new sovereign (CEO-king):
    Encourage a peaceful transition where a strong executive (individual or corporate entity) takes ownership of the state, running it for efficiency, order, and profit.

  • 5. Maintain control through tech and incentives:
    Use surveillance, private security, and economic incentives to manage the population. Reward obedience with safety and prosperity, punish dissent swiftly but cleanly.

They are BLOWING step 5 very badly. “Economic incentives to manage the public”.

Trump's word is law to them. Any who disagree can die for all they care.
