Again, learn from Turkey, because Trump sure is. Erdoğan did the same thing, cleaning out the ranks… and he’s managed to cling onto power for decades because of it. https://infosec.exchange/@Nonya_Bidniss/114797134888601938

  Today in modern American Gleichschaltung: "My SAC informed me in a moment she described as “brutally honest,” that I would not be receiving any promotions; in fact, I needed to prepare myself for the likelihood of being demoted. She gave me no details about what position or office I would be sent to once my time as a leader prematurely concluded. Furthermore, she told me, I would be asked to submit to a polygraph exam probing the nature of my friendship with Pete, and (as I was quietly informed by another, friendlier senior employee) what could only be described as a latter-day struggle session. I would be expected to grovel, beg forgiveness, and pledge loyalty as part of the FBI’s cultural revolution brought about by Patel and Bongino’s accession to the highest echelons of American law enforcement and intelligence." #fascism https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/goodbye-to-all-that

  @yianiris No, I mean that he/the people around him (e.g., Thiel via proxy of Vance, Miller, etc.) are systematically removing any chance for legal and democratic oversight by staffing the institutions that could enforce it with loyalists.

  You mean Trump will stage a coup against himself so he can have an excuse to clean up the administration from anyone that dislikes him?
  Do you think Trump has a trust base relationship with such a group who can stage a coup and be believable at least?
  What would conspirators trust as return and what would they risk in case of failure?
