Didn't they sorta try that 3 years ago? Shouldn't that be a huge red flag for this argment?
They have a much more rigorous plan for this now. The following is a link to the published 970 page manual on how the GOP intends to take permanent control of the US.

Fuck.
Hey they invited us, they never asked me if I was gonna fuck it up on purpose.
Yeah, everything about this document is horror show material.
You just lost THE GAME 🙄
What in the fuck Is this? This may as well be The Protocols of the Elders of Zion 2.0
This is the plan created by the most influential members of the GOP, the most influential organizations on them, and the most influential individuals on them. Over 50 of the most important organizations to the GOP published this thing. If you read it there are whole paragraphs that have been, almost verbatim, said by Trump, and other GOP members, since it's publishing. This is their schematic to build a modern fascist state. They aren't hiding it. This isn't a document they are passing around in tight circles, hiding it from outsiders. This is a publicly posted manifest on their plans to take control of the US government, dismantle the checks and balances of power, and take complete control.
They even acknowledge that methods they intend to use are legally dubious, then acknowledge that that is why they stacked the USSC.
That's also why they stockpile guns and ammo. They know that if or when they seize power there is going to be a justified popular uprising against them.
I tell people as often as I can, especially trans and PoC friends: start meeting like-minded people now, get some basic medic training (field medics really just need to stabilize people), get a gun or two (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. This isn't a joke, the time is now, the police will not protect us and the world will simply watch as the U.S. sinks into the weird Christian-fascist-corporatism that seems to be growing.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was written by folks making shit up to try to stir up antisemitism. Project 2025 was written by actual "conservative organizations": https://www.project2025.org/about/advisory-board/
What I'm meaning to illustrate is that this reads like "The Protocols" in that it seems to be filled with fear mongering of a deep state that the world needs to be protected from. Promoting a call to arms for conservative voters.
I see. I was thrown because the "Protocols" took the form of a fake leaked document revealing a fictitious plan for world domination, claiming to be written by Jewish elders, but actually written by an antisemitic propagandist. So given that this is also a plan for world domination and is horrifying those who read it, it seemed like you might be suggesting it was a fake created by left-wingers to discredit the right. Sadly, it's all too real, and it's not leaked--it's all out in the open for those who bother to look.
Yeah, I can absolutely understand the confusion. I made the comment while I'm at work and was trying to be concise instead of making my comparison perfectly clear.
wtf
No, they tried to take out the House of Representatives. It's clearly a totally different thing. \s
