ManhattanJuryAppreciator: They don't. But if they don't have the competency to build a repressive one in its place we're in a lot better shape than if they could.

I've been thinking about Schedule F, and while I'm pretty concerned about replacing federal gov't leadership with GOP hacks, I'm also here to tell you hack managers to repeat my favorite analogy "couldn't organize an orgy in a whorehouse."

Look, if you think the party of 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq, the Great Recession, the COVID crisis and 1/6 can magically orchestrate an autocratic takeover the US flawlessly I would like to know why. I do think however, there are many ways in which a flawed takeover could be really really bad.

Disorder is equally effective.

Depends on how seriously you take the goal, I guess.

I don’t think they need competency to crash a complex system.

They don't. But if they don't have the competency to build a repressive one in its place we're in a lot better shape than if they could.

Yes, it won’t be built in a day.
