I think that is the intent for a lot of actors in the White House, but I don't think this moves them towards that goal. They're not going to keep the guard on the streets for the next 15 months.

Fair enough. The one thing that makes me really doubt my paranoid reading is it relies on a belief that there is some long-term plan here that will make keeping the guard on the streets that long possible, and this gang is thankfully short on long-term planning capability.

Yeah, I think we need to be alert because these guys are fascists but at the same time, they're also very stupid fascists, so we always should be open to the possibility that they don't know what they're doing, while on guard against the possibility that they do.

I have to ask... what stops them actually? And what would stop them from calling them out again?
