    None of that will work anymore. The far right owns the house, the senate, the government enforcement agencies, and the Supreme Court. We’re nearing the end of the monopoly game and you don’t get anything extra for landing on free parking. The restraints for any of the rich and powerful just got taken off.

      Pretty much this. The Business Plot succeeded, it just took another 100 years. Now they have their Mussolini-like strongman, and a fully captured legislative and judicial system, all without a March on Rome.

            Well yeah, but it was also a literal march on our Capital.

          A beerhall putsch, a failed one, but still, it was a sign of what was yet to come…

          They didn’t even have to show up to the party or draw a direct line to the cannon fodder
