The people who really run the United States of America have made it clear that they can’t... allow Donald Trump to be president again...

It’s safer, and generally more accurate, to assume that your adversaries mean what they say....

Love him or hate him, during Trump’s presidency, the economy was strong, markets were up, inflation was under control, gas prices were low, illegal border crossings were down, crime was lower, trade deals were renegotiated, ISIS was defeated, NATO allies were stepping up, and China was stepping back (a little).... The point here is that something like 100 million Americans believe it, strongly, and are bewildered and angered by elite hatred for the man they think delivered it....

Again, why? I think it’s because, while Trump’s core MAGA agenda is decidedly not outside the historic bipartisan mainstream, it is well outside the present regime’s core interests. Our rulers’ wealth and power rise with open borders, trade giveaways, and endless war....

The regime can’t allow Trump to be president not because of who he is (although that grates), but because of who his followers are....

Plan A is to use the Jan. 6 show trials to make it impossible for Trump to run again, or barring that, to win again. But that isn’t working; at least, not well enough....

Plan B is for the Jan. 6 committee to lay the groundwork for an indictment of Trump....

Plan C, if none of this works, is to have Trump declared ineligible under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment....

Plan D—just beat him at the ballot box—is also risky. The country is in desperate shape. Biden is enormously unpopular. Harris is spectacularly unpopular...

Plan E is to cheat.... They are already using the federal government to thumb the scale in favor of Democrats. Biden’s Executive Order 14019, “Promoting Access to Voting,” requires “every federal agency to submit a plan to register voters and encourage voter participation. It also required agencies to form strategies to invite nongovernmental third parties to register voters.” 

Which leaves Plan F, which they have already sketched in broad outlines....
