Click here for an article by Robert Reich at Substack entitled "What is Trump planning if he gets a second chance? Chaos and consolidation," subtitled "Be worried. Be really worried."
What does Trump have planned? Nothing. Trump doesn't plan: He reacts. But he has a group of minions, many of whom are led by the unholy triumvirate of Bannon, Flynn, and Stone, who have plans -- a lot of them -- and they're not going to be good.
If Trump learned one thing during his four years as president, it’s that he doesn’t want anyone to tell him what he cannot do. All he wants are people to help him do what he wants to do.
They plan to prosecute opponents like Biden, and former Trump people who have turned against him -- Barr, Milley, Kelly -- and to reward people he perceives as having fought for him -- like those imprisoned for their conduct on January 6.
How do Americans feel about politics?” The New York Times asked a few weeks ago, answering in the same headline: “Disgust isn’t a strong enough word.”
Trump and his allies want us to be disgusted. They want us to believe that America is ungovernable – and is becoming more so, as long as power remains diffused. They want us to think we need an authoritarian strongman — Trump — to concentrate power and take over everything.
The article has a lot more in this vein.
