Been said before but worth repeating: the coup attempt isn't over. According to Jonathan Swan's reporting today in Axios, the MAGA movement is very busy on the down-low plotting the agenda for a 2025 trump administration. First up, replace 50,000 career civil servants at DOJ, DHS, Pentagon, State Department, all national intelligence agencies, etc. with people loyal exclusively to trump (think Attorney General Jeffrey Clark). Well-funded MAGA groups are already at work vetting the people to be installed via executive order immediately after a trump swearing-in. This is the playbook that has already given us a trumpified federal judiciary. The MAGA plotters acknowledge they won't have to fire all the existing civil servants to seize control--just enough to chill everyone else into obedience. Swan's reporting is scary. Just the evidence that this plotting is going on, and has big bucks behind it, is deeply troubling.
