Yuck.

I create a corrupt-Trump action classification called #MonkeyWrenchTheSystem and then ideas of how to do it bigly start gathering;

#MartialLaw
#ConstitutionalConvention
#ExpandSCOTUS

Others?

Thing is - the #Project2025 folk will have been gathering all these together for years I think. If so they've got a book full of them. And with action pathways attached.

A #ConstitutionalConvention #controlled by the #farright is a #ChristanNationalist #feverdream that threatens to #irreparably #damage our #nation.

#America! Awaken to the #reality that this is no longer #Fascists #secretdesire, but a #looming #nightmare inching towards #reality.

My point, too. 😣

IMO to 1787 would be ideal for them. (#ConstitutionalConvention)

They would like to reset the clock to strengthen the poisonous vein in the US constitution and its institutions.
