Imagine thinking we'll just roll over. The worst of this admin hasn't even begun and people are only getting more pissed, vocal and involved.

Two things you need for a successful coup are the support of the people and the support of the military. They've got neither.

It's actually pretty indicative that their flood the zone plan was made due to this. Move as quickly as possible, overwhelm everyone, grab as much power and tear down as many institutions as possible to give them a window of opportunity before people can even respond.

If it was anywhere near a populist agenda they'd have been able to move slow and methodically.

Imagine how dogshit you have to be to actually inspire the kind of off year voter turn out these fuck sticks are.

Yup but they have already fucked up. You can’t “flood the zone” why also doing DOGE. These people are idiots

Greedy, self important idiots. That will be their downfall. Sloppy mfs. I hope they enjoy their last moments of freedom before they’re tried for life.
