I’m increasingly certain that the actual plan here is to destroy the federal government. I still go back and forth between “it’s about fascism and authoritarian control” and “it’s about dismantling the federal government and starting Fuedalism 2: it’ll be better this time because we’re the ones doing it”, but lately I’ve been leaning more to the latter.
Their goal is to absolutely wreck the economy so their vulture capitalist friends can swoop in and buy everything at a huge discount. Subjugating over half the population and removing “undesirables” is just a fun bonus for them. It’s fascist feudalism.
*You consulted no one. You did no research. When peopled pleaded with you to stop, you forged ahead with reckless abandonment. When you plan started to fail, you doubled down. When it was time to clean up the mess you go lazy.
But I thought it would work, I felt it in my gut. It’s not my fault, it’s your fault.*
Because the two groups are at odds with each other. You have Musk backed by Thiel and the like that want it all burned to the ground so they can build up techno feudalism states in its ashes. Then on the other side you have the Christian fascists who want to take the current system and fortify it with more authoritarianism and control.
The start of the path is similar, so they cooperate, but their end goals are very different.

It’s Russia 2.0, with Trump playing the Yeltzin role after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The goal is an autocratic oligarchy.
What a strange goal. Do they really not expect to be eaten?
What gave it away? They’ve been very open about destroying government for years. In 2001, Grover Norquist said he wanted to “drown it in the bathtub”.
The banality of stupidity.

That’s what the broligarchy paid for. Literally. The term is “RAGE” Retire All Government Employees.

Yes but the christofascists are literally the dumbest morons in the country.
There are just so damn many of them, and they’re too stupid to be stopped.
When I was young we had a term for this: ‘r-word strength’
