I don't think the Business Plot wasn't a failure after all. I mean, it's kinda fucking obvious, isn't it? None of the conspirators were so much as even charged with any crime. The congressional investigation confirmed the conspiracy was real...and nothing was done because "they changed their minds" at the last moment due to lack of funding.
Now that you mention it, I also thought about Nixon. He left without ever being charged with anything.
And now I immediately think of Reconstruction being quietly ended without accomplishing shit.
Ok cool but for real call me when they stop just fucking ignoring you and doing whatever they fucking want anyways.
Don’t be so pessimistic. People in power standing up to DOGE and Trump is a good thing.
It's hard not to be when he consistently does insane crimes then bumbles on through life unhindered. He was impeached twice resulting in absolutely nothing. On the other-side, legal residents are abducted from their houses for saying genocide is a bad thing. I want to see actual repercussions, not people lamely denying him of things every once in a while.

And tortured, with impunity, by government agents.
There has to be a name for committing war crimes against your own residents... Hmmmmm
We have to keep up the pressure. Eventually the MAGA Nazis will be brought down by their own incompetence, just like the German Nazis were.
They have already planted the seeds of their eventual destruction. By firing so many competent people from top leadership positions like our military and intelligence leaders, and thousands of internal functionaries who truly understand how the system operates, they have given their opposition the gift of competence. In addition, their purges have left behind many people who also despise their slavemasters, and will be prime targets for recruitment as moles, spies, saboteurs, etc. They forgot that it is better to keep your enemies in the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in. This is why you keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
It will take a long time to take our country back from the MAGA Traitors, and it will probably require a lot of violence, and then a vicious purge of MAGA from our society when its over, but they brought this on.
I'm starting to agree with Roger Stone, who said before the 2020 election: "Let's skip the election, and get straight to the violence."
