    Stealing elections has been a half century long (re-) progression, and we can draw a straight line from 2000 through 2020 to now. This doesn’t end with the president.

    As to the president, he’s losing it, we can all see it, he’s falling asleep at televised meetings, he’s led to betray his America First agenda Bannon crafted for him that allowed him to win in the first place and in the process is alienating a lot of his fan base that was only loyal to him, not the party.

    The succession will be a knife fight in the viper’s nest, and a chance to take it back, uphill given they control the feds and most states and blue states are weak besides and red counties still could cheat in spots, the party has the inner workings of all the voting systems and people in the inside, and if they control the gerrymandered legislatures they can just vote in faithless electors, as the state level in many battleground states now as they passed laws in 2021 allowing such, in places like GA, I think AZ and WI too even, on top of the voter suppression, and different means they left to find votes for their guys before and after the fact from purging rolls in blue districts before, to signature matching and the like afterwards.

    Then the national congress could just vote in their own guy even if that all failed, and a new national federal force of thugs can suppress resistance, send in specialized units of the willing to take out protests and leaders along with politicized fbi and justice department officials, national guards can be federalized, put areas under martial law with those specialized units of their partizans doing the heavy work, etc.

    None of this was started by the president, this is all stuff the party has been working towards for decades, this iteration starting in 1971 at the business roundtable, they made further refinements, but project 2025 is basically an evolution of that long game they made to overthrow working people from their government, and in doing so they’ve created a monster they can’t control that will destroy them one way and or others sooner than later.

    To succeed in taking the country from the party in the succession, the opposition needs a popular reform ticket with an aggressive champion leading the troops, with aggressive influencers up and down the line, we need someone that can build and run a political machine, a Strong Leader. It’s hopeless following your influencers, they are playing you by the way, there is no way out under them. Popular Reform with strong leadership is the only way out.

    Either we give America Reform, or the Republicans Will.
