I admittedly didn't watch the whole thing but what I really want to know is what are the Democrats doing to prevent this? Are they resisting at all? This is unprecedented and likely highly illegal but only if it gets enforced. Otherwise they are just giving tacit approval.
It’s like the coup that everyone, with eyes to see and ears to hear, could see coming.
I remember when this was in the news last year:
NEW YORK — The leader of a conservative think tank orchestrating plans for a
massive overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win said that the country is in the midst of a “second American Revolution” that will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”
Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts made the comments Tuesday on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, adding that Republicans are “in the process of taking this country back.”
Democrats are “apoplectic right now” because the right is winning, Roberts told former U.S. Rep. Dave Brat, one of the podcast’s guest hosts as Bannon is serving a four-month prison term. “And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
Roberts’ remarks shed light on how a group that promises to have significant influence over a possible second term for former President Donald Trump is thinking about this moment in American politics. The Heritage Foundation is spearheading Project 2025, a sweeping road map for a new GOP administration that includes plans for dismantling aspects of the federal government and ousting thousands of civil servants in favor of Trump loyalists who will carry out a hard-right agenda without complaint.

Seems to be a mix of this, with retribution added by Trump. Now they are looking at FBI agents assigned to Jan. 6 and classified documents investigations, as if foot soldiers following orders must also face a judgement from Trump.
