The Triple Threat to American Democracy...

[kentuck]

...is making its move to take over America.

Who are the "triple threat"? It is Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump.

In my opinion, Putin and Musk have decided that America is at its most vulnerable position right now and this is an opportunity they cannot pass up. Republicans and Trump supporters should be embarrassed, but they are not.

First of all, Musk did not give Donald Trump $250 million dollars for nothing. Trump promised him whatever he wanted if he could help him win the election. Now, it appears that Musk, along with Putin, want complete control of the US Government. Trump is playing the "dummy" in the conspiracy but only so he can continue to fool his idiot followers.

The plan is complete takeover of the US Government and all its institutions. America is to become an autocratic kakistocracy, run by billionaires and incompetents.

It is hard to believe we have gotten to this point, but here we are. Musk is not just pretending to be the leader of this country, but he is willing to let Trump keep the title of "President", so long as he does not make too many waves. If Trump wavers, they have ways to take care of him. But, no one expects that to happen. He will be a good little soldier.

1. When you consider how much money he tanked in Twitter to help win the election it's billion

Billions of dollars to buy the presidency was chump change to apartheid Clyde...

That's the only quibble I have. The billions he lost on Twitter were definitely contribution in kind.

3. The price was no issue when the opportunity was there to take over...

...the world's oldest democracy. And it did not begin with the last election. It began in earnest with the election of 2016. "Russia, Russia, Russia" was no hoax. It was real.

2. Putin did not help Trump steal the election for nothing.

Russian phoning in bomb threats on Election Day at Dem precincts was just a tiny fraction of Putin's handiwork
to steal the election for Trump.

Putin will want payment in full from Trump.

4. Sometimes even paranoids have enemies...

And sometimes even conspiracy theories have validity.

5. The groundwork for this has been laid down over a period of decades,

and none of those three had any involvement at all.

None of them are responsible for the Heritage Foundation, or the Federalist Society, or the fuckery from the Koch brothers, or Rupert Murdoch, or Rush Limbaugh, Clear Channel, Supreme Court appointments from Nixon through both Bushes, and I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. They were simply there to take advantage of everything those people and organizations have accomplished in our society over the past several decades. If none of them existed it would be a different group of people, but we would probably be in substantially the same place. Maybe not in the lap of a russian dictator, but who knows.

This is just a spontaneous rant. Please don't take it too seriously.

6. In my opinion, they were just greedy Republicans...

...this move is geo-political and international in scope, far beyond local or national politics.

7. My question is?

Are Republicans beginning to see how they have been used?

It gives one a little hope that they did not shut down the government as Trump wanted. Did someone pass them some secret intelligence?
