79 Days

Notes on an Authoritarian Conspiracy: Inside the Claremont Institute’s “79 Days to Inauguration” Report at The Bulwark

It's worth a read. It's basically a Republican fantasy of the past presidential election: Trump loyalists flip the results of the election, liberal groups riot (their self-created boogeymen, BLM and antifa), and the Republican party must then call upon those staunch patriots, the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters, to save their conservative asses and place their favorite dictator back in power. A lotta people gotta die along the way. For a more lucid version of this same story, check out The Handmaid's Tale.

I keep thinking my opinion of Republican politicians, "thinkers" (snort), and voters can't sink any lower. Then I watch the news.
