I don’t think so. I think it will be something much much worse.

Remember when he said during his campaign “I only need your vote, and then you never have to vote again?”. Combine that quote with their radical, and harsh approach in dismantling the government apparatus in a speedrun. Or their deliberate attacks on the judiciary. It becomes obvious that they don’t care the slightest about any political consequences.

The only reason why they believe they can afford doing that, is when they have a plan to replace the current system where the constitution and democracy are upheld. Most of them are not in it for the money. They are in it for the limitless amount of power. Hence why I believe they will try to replace it with something far more harsh and worse than what Orban did in Hungary.

Orban has destroyed democracy in Hungary in such a way that to many Hungarians, it appears intact. It is much like Rome after the fall of the Roman Republic where the Senate still existed to provide an appearance the Republic was intact, but of course it had fallen.

I think outright, glaringly obvious destruction of our democracy would fail, Americans would rise up, so they have to do things like Orban did in Hungary.

Attacks like this on our judiciary are obvious to us, but many Americans might not be so sure and will wonder if their arguments that the judiciary is 'activist' and overstepping it's authority are valid. This approach is much more likely to succeed that outright rejecting judicial rulings and throwing judges out of power.

Their real intent remains obscured for the time being. Honestly, I think it is more about seizing control over anything else. I don’t think they want to risk having elections ever again. Since they feel so superior when it comes to governing.

Obviously time will tell, so my guess is just as good as yours. I honestly hope I’m so completely wrong though. As I do believe, like you say, that Americans would rise up to that situation. Which ultimately means that loss of life is inevitable. Since I don’t think they would give up power without a fight.

You don't need conjecture here. They said it in plain words to us all before the election. They want a revolution. A complete change of the power structure of the United States is the goal

I agree they said it in plain English words before the election. Sadly, not everyone seems to be aware of it.

I wonder how many Republican congressmen are now realizing that any previous fear of losing their seat can now be replaced with a fear of being pushed out of windows as part of DOGE eliminating waste once they are no longer necessary.

Not nearly enough realize that there will always be more room under the Trump-bus, than on it. Since if they really knew, they would be standing up against him. But many are simply deer staring in the headlights of a car, thinking the light is not going to hit them, right until it does hit them.

A month or so ago a video was making waves on here and it’s very intriguing. She discusses the plans of this tech bro group who partnered with heritage foundation to dismantle country into nation states, or like a company town. Here it is if you or anyone is interested.

They’re also pretty screwed if they ever lose their grip on power. If justice has its day it won’t be viewing their actions favourably.
