They are finished with democracy, it does not serve its purposes.
They want total permanent power and access to all US wealth.
Like Putin has in Russia.

like Putin's oligarchs whenever there's a shakeup.

He really DOES have "all these crooked guys."

And they all work for him, even if Pam Bondi's status as a "crooked guy" may be somewhat questionable. Her status as crooked is not in question, however.
