I don't think so. I think he - or his puppet masters - know exactly what they're doing and they've been planning this, with or without his knowledge for at least the last 4 years. We underestimate these people at our peril. They are truly single minded about accruing all the power for themselves and they are actually doing it. What to do about that reality is the problem we face.

The planning for this coup has been going on for decades, including gradually taking over farm states that uses to vote for Democrats. It has included decades of creating disinformation and culture war issues by pro-authoritatian think tanks, gerrymandering, corrupting religion, and manipulating state legislatures and Congressmen, until they found someone who was a consummate liar and emotional manipulator with a fascist style to work with as President. While they were focused on manipulating the masses into cult-like obedience, Democrats and regular Conservative Republicans were debating issues, but the masses only heard the disinformation from their cult-like leaders.

"including gradually taking over farm states"

Yeah, like Wisconsin, Wisconsin was always a solid blue state.

But because of Gerrymandering it now votes in the State Senate and House Republican.

They have Ron Johnson (ugg) and Tammy Baldwin (yeah!) as US Senators, it is a shame. The State that gave us Wiliam Proxmire for decades ow votes for Ron Johnson, why?

Totally agree with this. I said it in the first reign of the wannabe and this is just the culmination of the years of desperation of wanting to be a part of world domination by this narcissistic pathetic soulless less than human tyrant,who has now crossed into treasonous and complete disgusting behavior.

The Heritage Foundation has been planning this since Reagan. Having Vought confirmed for budget and management terrifies me. HeтАЩs one of the core authors of their manifesto.
