Bill Maher's prediction about Trump's "slow coup" could easily happen

I was wondering the same thing. Just checked my calendar, and the Biden administration hasn’t even been in place for nine months, we’ve got three elections facing us before 2024, and there’s no such thing as a crystal ball or magical, instant change in U.S. government. :woman_shrugging:t4:

Pointing that out doesn’t stop doomsayers and political purists from whining and/or demanding that those against the GOP/GQP must try to put completely unrealistic solutions into place (like supporting unelectable candidates, changing the entire two-party system, eliminating corporate influence, etc.).

Exactly. Focusing on realistic goals and working on progress through changes at the local and state levels of government is a more productive strategy. Continuing the efforts to educate the public about how our institutions actually function would be helpful, too. After a few years of consistent work, oversight, and fighting against the forces promoting a quick fix and/or general misinformation, this prediction should turn out to be completely wrong.
