Musk and team (including his possible puppet trump)

Are fully expecting this. 2016 to 2020 was an eye opener for the wealthy who wanted control. They saw an incompetent trump support group not suffer due to slow or non response from the 3 branch system.

So they got competent arseholes to back him and plan to win this civil war before the rest od the US even recognises it as a civil war.

All the US checks and balances are non existant when the curruption uses it to slow down opposition.

Unfortunately, I have a hard time seeing this working. This is why Musk getting physical control of the computers was important: If no one's willing to physically go in and stop his people, putting them in prison if they resist, it's going to continue.

I think someone in Virginia should call up the National Guard. If it's on, it's on. Foreign and domestic and all that. I don't think any of us random yahoos can do much that won't make things worse, but at a certain point in arresting the shoplifter, physical force is required to get them to come with you, if they want to insist on keeping things within the physical realm.

You're not wrong. It's also some wishful thinking.
