Unfortunately, the margin of error in electing “conservative” vs. “democratic” politicians is very small, perhaps amounting to a few hundred thousand voters, or even tens of thousands at the State level.
That said, any elected conservative president can monkey wrench governmental functions to effectively cripple enough administration activities to render them ineffective while blaming the dysfunction on the prior regimes.
FEDSOC provides a blueprint that took only 40 years to incrementally cripple the Federal judiciary and SCOTUS through the efforts of one unelected individual, Leonard Leo. Unelected Leo has now embarked on a mission to eliminate or cripple the entire Federal bureaucracy.
With only a few tens of thousands of voter margin America is at risk of losing everything.
Keep in mind that Hitler won control of Germany with less than a third of the votes then turned on all of the German citizens with a vengeance.
Indeed, you are correct in your observations. I especially have been focusing on the fact that the state level mechanics will be the single most important dynamic for all parties concerned to focus upon.
One of my essay line of thoughts has been to focus on extraordinarily large part the states have and continue to have in all these things, especially with a view towards investigating the outsized part that the conservative non-profit organizations have played over the course of the past 20+ years in shaping many of these issues currently in the dock.
It can be said “desperate times call for desperate measures.” (Hippocrates). At the moment, both sides, conservatives and democrat liberals, likely feel desperate tensions. Some amongst the conservative side have shown to respond with chaos (The House Freedom Caucus), some with deep diligent planning (the organizations and people interviewed in the Politico article), and some with reckless abandon (TFG). The democrat liberals fall into two camps - five alarm fire, the we better wake up now and deal with what’s staring at us in the face realists and the complacent old schoolers. As a follower of the fire suppression thinking, it’s somewhat reassuring to read Robert’s essay, but I’m surprised at the candor that’s being expressed in the Politico article quotes. Can we trust or believe what they say? Is it colored to give a false sense of complacency? I tend to agree their goals are so wide sweeping that complete implementation will be difficult, but are we then to die the death of a thousand cuts? The legality of many of their goals and methods are questionable, but many federal judicial positions have been compromised, filled by those with a right-wing agenda. How much does the Third Branch now protect us? MSM is full of bias, surviving on a lifeboat of advertiser money and oligarch ownership. The big irony, is the swamp they so desperately want to drain will only be flushed and filled with their corrupt cronies, dismantlers, naive incompetents, and fascists. One bureaucracy of their disliking replaced by either the loyalist bureaucracy of a totalitarian or the eventual vaporization of a regulatory state which was developed for the common good, to be replaced with a free for all Wild West. A small simple government agrarian nation of four million in 1787 is a far stretch from an economic behemoth of 330 million people in 2023.
For your information, the House Freedom Caucus is more or less a direct product of several of "the organizations and people interviewed in the Politico article." This is one of the lines of thought that I have been working on writing about. As I have mentioned elsewhere in some of my other writings many of the elements involved might seem independent or disconnected one from another, but in reality nearly every single element in this entire situation is somehow or another connected and working to varying degrees in concert with others in the within the same overall command structure.
