    This was always the plan - the reason it’s happening so fast is that they’re ahead of schedule, because of all the preemptive compliance.

    Hitler made other parties illegal within a year of being appointed. Opposition in Russia is nominally allowed but effectively impossible because of this kind of harassment. These are the models Trump is following, so expect the DOJ to act fast.

    If they cut off democrats’ money to campaign, with elections as close as they already are, they may not even have to capture the election process to win the next 1-2 elections, and then we’re unsalvageable.

    Y’know, I’m surprised it took him this long to start directly targeting the Dems with his BS. Step one of removing any opposition: starve them out.

    I shudder to think what damage he can do in the 3 and a half years remaining in his term. :/
