@wdlindsy I think you're right that that's what they're going for, but - like one of Shitler's mouthpieces on the telly the other day - they're forgetting that THEY are the government. When everything fails, people won't blame some abstraction of government & thank those dismantling it; they'll direct their ire squarely at those supposedly in charge, most prominently the president.
They should know that; they used it against Biden - but remember, they're fucking idiots.
If the population has no power, the government doesn't care who the people blame.
Remember, Trump said explicitly: 'You only have to vote one more time. After that, you don't have to vote again.'
@paulschoe @wdlindsy The population has all the power - it's literally the only source of power there is (among other things that's the basis of the saying "the rich need us but we don't need them").
Which means that when those who command that power fuck up too much, the people take it back, usually in the form of an uprising, up to & including a violent revolt.
It doesn't have to come to that, though: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world
