I ain't no historian, but when an elite such as we now have owns the powers of government, they do not relinquish their grip without major force. They are gaming various scenarios to keep the same type of characters in control when the dotard drops or is deposed.

I think Trump, and his entire Republican Cabal should be sent to the Hague. Including the Repub U.S. Senators, the Repub U.S. House members, and The Repub U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Plus anyone Trump and the Republicans appointed to anything....

Oh, and reverse all of his pardons, arrest and replace all the Border Patrol, ICE, etc etc etc

This Is Heinous and a strain on our Legitimacy. (Like we need another).
