Or he’s just flailing and Miller’s the only guy that wanted it, nobody else wants to join/move up. Or he’s going to need Miller to do something heinous that causes intense backlash and an excuse for emergency rule or whatever you want to call it to not seat the new Congress
Is there any analysis out there yet of what this likely means/what’s going to happen?
100%. A good one? No. A plan? Yeah.
Hegseth, Trump, Vought, etc. are willing to do anything to stay out of prison. They didn’t fire more than half of military leadership/generals for nothing. There is a 0% chance they’re just gonna fade away, let themselves get impeached, investigated, etc without doing something. I don’t think it’s going to work, but when have they ever just accepted something bad happening to them?
I hope Democrats aren’t being lulled to sleep with how accepting Republicans have been so far. I know they’re aware they don’t really have wide public support anymore, but I don’t trust them at all. I’m not sure this is even an option, but I would want a contingent of state troopers to come with all of the Senator/House Rep elects to come with them on the 3rd. I would not for a second find it too hard to believe they could try to arrest them all. They will not just sleepwalk into life sentences
To be honest, I’m a little worried that Republicans aren’t denying election results. This is their entire MO, they’e still kind of at the height of their power, and they are the most rampantly criminal administration in history and have done everything in their power to avoid accountability so far. Narcissists and dictators don’t just give up, they will do whatever they can to avoid accountability.
And they’re just taking this lying down? Being normal about it? I’m getting a little worried they have a plot behind the scenes to keep power. Whether it be not seating reps on the 3rd, or something even worse.
Please assuage some of my fears.
Well, yeah. Just hope there’s a DC reporter or something with actual experience with Trump and the regime with an actual “Here’s what Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff means”. The social media fearmongering (not that it’s undeserved) is just unhelpful
