This is the way dictatorial regimes act following a coup and not how a political party acts that clings to a single digit edge in the house and is tied in the senate.

this was the plan all along but they were going to slow roll it

trump forced their hand, and now that they've seen that they can't be stopped they're like, why slow roll

throw this country off the fucking cliff

unless they actually bribed the shit out of the military they're going to be in for a rude awakening

Idk. It seems to me that they're doing it so fucking fast, it's as if they worry they're going to be stopped at any minute.

They're actually doing it wrong imo. As scary as it is to say it, they are not following the 'proper' steps to cement control. They're still trying to 'follow the law' so to speak and are fast tracking specific legislation.

You note that all the regimes start with a bit of legitimacy, but also follow up with terror to force compliance. They're not doing the 'terror' right now. It's all speedy work to try to cement power through laws.

Also they have shit leaders. There's no charisma in the entire lot of them. No real leaders. This is inherently unstable.

Frankly once we get a few good leaders on our side stepping up more we're going to see something big happening.

or they are worried more Trump-like candidates will get in in 2022 and beyond so they are implementing as much of their shitty agenda as possible.

It’s a communist take over. Make no mistake. Look at history. They will abuse their power quickly. We are seeing it.

Well wouldn’t you do the same if you had a 4 year delay in your payoffs, no wars, pro America policy. They’ve got to make up for lost time. All thank you to the media, the bought of courts and the pension loving three letter agencies
