    After the USAID thing I called it this morning: Before the end of march the U.S. is a dictatorship in all but name.
    To pull this off things have to happen fast, denying anybody the time to react.

    USAID was a probing attack, gauge the reactions, develop plans, figure out how to do it better with the next department. You don’t start with Homeland Security, the CIA, or the FBI - that’s the final part.

    Meanwhile, keep everybody busy with 50 different crazy things so they can’t organize a concerted effort to resist.
    That being said, I’m only half-sold on Greenland and the Panama Canal being a distraction. Once you have complete control you’re at the whim of Denmark not revoking access to Thule and Panama not denying passage. Might be both, confuse and prepare.

      You’re optimistic. Yarvinists are openly advocating for dictatorship.

      Well, debatable. Purging the secret services first is always a great idea when you’re doing a coup.
