The Authoritarian Coup
The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. --James Madison
This quote from the Federalist Papers gives insight into how our founders viewed concentrated power and it is simply this: concentrated power is tyranny. Whether this power is wielded by an individual or a group of people is irrelevant. This is why we only allow elected individuals to govern rather than parties or other groups.
We see the effects now of such concentration of power now within the Republic. All branches of government are currently serving the Republican Party and this is tyranny, but it is not the end of the story. There exists a small group of patrons and ideologically fascist individuals attempting to channel this power into permanent tyranny. We will explore how the plan is being executed.
Project 2025 is the base plan for this coup. I won't link from here but the 1000+ page plan is available on The Internet along with all of their training material. It is every bit as finely produced as corporate training documentation. Just ask your favorite unbiased AI engine (Claude, ChatGPT, CoPilot, etc) questions about it so you don't have to read it yourself. Let AI work for you instead of oligarchs for a change. The irony of being undone by their own tools pleases The Hare in a very artistic sense.
The Authoritarian Coup​
An authoritarian cult is attempting to usurp the Republic of the Unites States right now. I argue that this must be the case because elected and appointed officials most notably within the Executive branch brazenly engage in criminal activity. This activity would normally send them to federal prison for decades. They escape prosecution for the moment because of a corrupt DOJ. This protection ends when the Democrats take power.
Rational people will not act in ways that result in their own imprisonment. The only way they avoid imprisonment is if Democrats never take power. They cannot win the next election fairly and must attempt to permanently seize power through force. The only option they have to avoid prison is a coup. This knowledge is important in framing the following analysis.
Project 2025: The Authoritarian Playbook​
Project 2025 is at its core an attempt to gaslight their supporters into believing a version of American History that is not real. It asserts a Christian nation that does not exist nor ever did. John Adams made this very clear in the Treaty of Tripoli when he stated that the government of America is in no way founded upon the Christian religion.
It is a manifesto and plan to forcefully enact unpopular policies that could never survive the democratic process upon the American Public. They can ONLY implement these policies by undermining our Republic. It is, in effect, an attempt to replace our Constitution with a new reality that The Public will never willingly accept. The only way to enact these policies are through undemocratic means. The document outlines a process to achieve this through a "unitary executive".
This term is just a fancy word for "dictator". It is a fascist ideology where all power in the executive branch is wielded by the president and everyone in the branch is loyal to him directly instead of The Constitution they swear to uphold. Outrageous! The plan removes or disables checks upon this power by replacing individuals within the other branches with party sycophants. This unchecked power in the executive is how they control the entire government without being democratically elected to do so.
It turns our 3-ring circus into this:

Compelling religious conservatives to commit treason​
The core people at the heart of this coup are religious conservatives. Project 2025 is a plan to weaponize these folks and use them to focus all power into the office of President. This president uses their vast concentrated power to enact policies they want without respect to the democratic process even subverting the democratic process itself. The basic outline looks like this:
- Recruit as many ideologically zealous religious conservatives as you can find.
- Train them to be highly effective in government and 100% dedicated to serving the president rather than The Constitution.
- Get them hired, elected or appointed to government positions and force out conservatives.
- Concentrate as much power as possible into the office of president and remove checks limiting that power.
The end result is when a conservative president is elected, that person has nearly unlimited power with few checks on it and an army that follows without question. In other words: A dictator.
Recruit Conservatives​
The Heritage Foundation did not create their Magnum Opus in isolation. Over 100 conservative groups helped them create this plan. Each of these groups want things that Democracy will not deliver for them like:
- Conservative policies that The Public reject.
- Christianity as a state religion state in spite of The Constitution.
- Racial and ethnic purity goals.
- Weakening policy protecting the public for profit.
It's probably not going to look good for them when independent media exposes the entities aiding an organization plotting to overthrow the US government. There are two main buckets is this organization from an external perspective: The leadership and their patrons, and the followers:

The road to hell is paved with good intentions​
Whether the sin be of pride, avarice, or just plain wrath they are sins all the same. The Hare of Retribution patiently admonishes the faithful, "God grants us the freedom to grow and be the things that WE want to be. Only fools think themselves wiser than the almighty and their fellow citizens." In a desire to do good they knowingly subverted democracy to enact their will and nearly enslaved themselves and future generations to plutocrats as a result.
The lesson is ultimately this: You know when your actions are honest. People will sometimes offer to help in underhanded ways, but know that they are using you to achieve their own goals whatever they may be. It is understanding the difference between one church asking you to love God and love your neighbor, and another promising a 10x return for your donations. The first is a simple humble message. The second is appealing to avarice for profit and is a scam. Do not fall prey to these false prophets inside or outside of the church.
The vultures of degenerate capitalism​
Oligarchs are always hanging around looking for weaknesses in the US government that they can exploit. These guys may share conservative ideology but for the most part view other conservatives as tools for their own enrichment. Democrats have similar groups of vultures hovering over the midterms waiting for their turn at the trough. Several of these oligarchs play both sides of the field especially in corporate media.
For conservatives these groups are mostly wealthy oil billionaires and sociopathic business leaders. They care less about conservative social values and more about wealth. They patronize politicians and corporate media to buy the influence they want. They push for no taxes upon the wealthy and reckless fiscal policy. Some believe this makes it easier to enact authoritarian control. It has instead made them visible to The Public who are in the process of purging them now. Those who corrupt our elections are being punished in markets around the world. It's not just America who is sick of this corruption.
Literal fascists​
Now they don't call themselves fascist because that ideology went out of fashion after a government under subordinate ideology killed millions in WW2. I would certainly reject the label were I in their places, but what they call it is irrelevant because we can measure Project 2025 outcomes in The Court of Public Opinion. Their policies are radically xenophobic, religious, and anti-democratic. They plan and coordinate an effort to create an unaccountable President. They undermine democratic elections to force a specific choice through gerrymandering and Orwellian policy. They use The Public's government to punish their party's political opposition with a particular focus on anti-fascist groups.
They literally took the United States to war in support a of literal genocide in Gaza. Don't turn your head away hoping to ignore this because the Hare will not permit it. The United States is literally participating in a genocide in spite of public opinion and there are not enough sycophants in corporate media to cover it up. Independent Media to the rescue.
The hierarchy​
The leadership structure is the same as used by Democrat administrations but darker. A handful of individuals from party leadership and various institutes plan and facilitate actions for their degenerate patrons. Their function is command and the interests of patrons is the payload. The same mechanisms allowing patrons to attack policy is now attacking American Democracy (referred to as the "administrative state" in their plan) through the coordinated plan in Project 2025! This shift in the objectives of the leadership team crosses the line from corruption into treason.
Attempting to permanently our Republic IS TREASON and must be treated as such. Traitors to The Republic must hang. I'm sorry if this bothers you. Shoot these folks in the head now lest we see them a decade or two later. This is simply a reality of doing business. A farmer doesn't enjoy the act of taking an animal but it is a necessary act for the health of their business. It is the same with government and failure to decisively act can likely lead to the eventual destruction of The Republic. Me must have the strength of character to do what is required and protect the nation from threats foreign and domestic. Sometimes this means executing traitors.
Everyone else acts to implement the administration's will. Government employees normally fulfill the goals set forth by their agencies. The key difference this time is employee loyalty directly to The President instead of the goals of their agency even when The President's goals directly conflict the agency's goals. Serving in this manner is also treasonous because their sworn duty is to The Constitution. They are more like soldiers in the Nazi army who participated in activities but without knowledge of the overall picture. Most will join the rest of America in serfdom if they succeed in their mission. I don't regard them as I do controllers and degenerates in the hierarchy, but they must be punished for their violations of law.
Training and Absolute Presidential Loyalty​
Project 2025 outlines this in Pillar III of their Mandate for Leadership called, "The Presidential Administration Academy". There is a training tier for new employees describing how to function effectively within government. It is training outside of what they normally receive at an agency. It is focused on executing The President's agenda as quickly as possible instead of achieving the agency's mission. We see this in action as agency heads refuse to prosecute rapists and pedophiles in the Epstein Files at the behest of The President. Agency heads do not normally do things like that. Their job is to funnel money to political patrons while actually fulfilling the agency's mission, not to serve The President directly.
Leaders go through live training sessions, but several sessions are available if you look. They describe in more detail how to bypass restrictions through which democracy constrains them. You can even find the original Project 2025 that has the juicy stuff they tried to remove from public view. It will not help them. These are the leaders truly undermining The Republic and this material shows them how to use their position toward that end by yielding power to The President and removing constraints to their power.
Replacing Civil Servants with Sycophants​
The project advocates for the aggressive use of the Presidential appointment, direction, and removal authorities as central elements of executive power. Evangelical Christians fill this role well because they are not so likely to critically examine the people in charge. Conservatives have sought to replace career civil servants with people fanatically loyal to conservative causes.
Party leaders in Congress control whether bills hit the floor or not. Speaker Johnson facilitates this as much as possible, but it's difficult when his king is running amok. Party line voting in The House makes it difficult to tell which representatives are actual traitors and which ones are just stupid. The party also placed sycophants to head key committee positions within The House and The Senate. We initially saw this at term start when committee chairs acted in very arbitrary ways in violation of their own chamber's rules. The action of representatives like Mr. Grassley were VERY suspect. It sure looked like he and other committee chairs were actively interfering with the normal functioning of Congress to enact Agenda 47. Concentrated power strikes again!
Concentrate power into The President and remove checks to that power​
The John Roberts Kangaroo Court helped by reinterpreting law settled decades ago in dubious ways. If Congress won't pass the laws he wants, then he just rewrites laws to what he wants in spite of Congress. I must admit: I didn't expect openly crooked judges on The Supreme Court shamelessly taking bribes from wealthy degenerate patrons but this is the timeline we are in. They have largely cleared the way. Thank God that Mr. Trump is a dumb fuck who can't count his balls and get the same answer twice or we'd be in a dictatorship right now.
The point of creating a very powerful president is to create a powerful entity unaccountable to The Public. Their leaders think this will benefit them, but they are betrayed before it even began. Mr. Trump is more interested in personal enrichment than conservative causes. Should they have expected anything else when they backed a mobster for President? Kind of ironic that at the end of the day he will be indirectly responsible for draining the swamp when The Public overthrows the leadership of both parties and replaces them with servants to The People instead of oligarchs.
Toward this end I think it helps to punish the oligarchs backing this project internationally. Denying revenue to the oil companies that bribed The President will starve the beast. Companies that try to subvert governments should simply be excluded from markets and contracts. Pull advertising contracts from heavily leveraged media companies teetering on the brink of disaster and let them collapse utterly. Refuse to do business these companies not because I want you to, but because it is in your best interest to do so. The People will make better decisions if we can improve information delivery and that starts by removing the media oligopoly suppressing news around the world.
Oh yeah and while we're talking about media, let's talk about Israel. They have exerted way too much influence in the world largely because of who owns media companies. They have influenced US policy and elections for decades. They bribe politicians from both parties, and I intend to make their money poison. You assholes aren't supposed to be taking foreign money anyway!
They convinced a weak president to join their genocidal Zionist cause to purge Gaza against the will of the American public and without authorization from Congress. This cannot be ignored. Failure to curb this kind of nonsense and sucking on that dark money tittie is how we got here. I will say what our representatives would not dare to say: Israel must face the International Criminal Court and the United States must abstain from votes involving Israel.
