As a trial attorney for over 40 years, it is sad to bear witness to the end of democracy.
Prior to the election, multiple billionaires belonging to the 'Tech Right', referring to themselves as Dark Gothic MAGA, backed Curtis Yarvin's plan to overthrow democracy in three simple steps:
1. Gut the federal bureaucracy and replace all federal workers with 'true believers'
2. Render Congress impotent by refusing to spend money allocated by Congress for programs contrary to MAGA philosophy.
3. Ignore directives issued by SCOTUS upon the basis such Orders are only advisory, because the Judicial Branch does not possess the Constitutional power to issue binding orders to the Executive Branch.
It is distressing to see the overthrow take place in real time with hardly a whimper from the public.
IMO the only thing that will defeat the plan is a nationwide general strike threatening the billionaires with a total deprivation of their sources of income. Sadly, I have never seen any indication the American people have the ability to do what what the Europeans have successfully accomplished on multiple occasions.
