Putin has set out to destroy America and he’s using Donald Trump to do it. He convinced Trump to use tariffs instead of income tax. Tariffs cannot support an empire, so it’s just a matter of time before Putin is the only Strong Man leader.
No he doesn’t. That was the plan all along. Once Trump is king, he will remove the separation of church and state and Avada Kedavra you have an Evangelical theocracy. And with control of the military, he can do anything he wants.
Everything is going according to plan. Evangelicals were at the forefront of putting Trump in power, so if you want to know what and why Trump is doing something, look at their goals. Since the 1980’s evangelicals have wanted to remove the separation of church and state from the constitution. Following Putin and Hitler’s playbook, they are creating a crisis. When Americans are bankrupt and desperate, Trump will declare a national emergency and suspend both the constitution and congress - he will rule by presidential decree. With the powers he has granted himself, he can singlehandedly amend the constitution and “POOF” you have an Evangelical theocracy. Welcome to the new america.
Positive change is not the plan. As per “The Despoiling of America”, the plan is to break American society until people are so destitute they will accept any change. At that point, Trump declares martial law and governs through presidential decree. He uses the special powers he has given himself to remove the separation of church and state and Avada Kadava, you have an evangelical dictatorship. Combined with vote suppression, evangelicals will be in power forever.
