The next guy won't be Trump because Trump to a degree believes the government is real (I mean probably not now) but the next guy won't and he'll just on day 1 (or maybe day 30 to allow Americans to get out of harms way) declassify everything which will murder the entire rest of the government.
Interestingly enough, the CIA apparently just dropped a couple thousand pages of declassifed shit onto a site called "The Black Vault." Badly photocopied, hard to read, but this just happened within the past day or so.
YEP. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING. Trump was not the populist Caesar, he was the friendly, idealistic, slightly bumbling precursor that just wanted the best for everyone. If a populist figure ever manages to come into power again (unlikely due to the cheating), it will be swift and brutal. It will be the Caesar we're waiting for.
It would be one of the greatest ironies of history if in the American establishment's attempt to save itself, they sped up the arrival of your "Augustus Caesar" equivalent.
It doesn't work that way. The Deep State interprets classification in a way such that the President doesn't "need to know" and they won't declassify anything they don't want to.
The corruption has so many Constitutional checks and balances that they've repurposed to protect itself that it can't be fixed from the top by an actual patriot being elected.
The gleeful overreach the tech barons and Democrats are engaging in now strongly suggests they believe they've won for good and will never have to worry about another populist outsider again. I don't doubt the Roman Optimates thought the same when they murdered Tiberius Gracchus and 300 of his supporters.
Oh whoops, that just pissed off his brother Gaius Gracchus, who's now riling up the deplorable plebs too. Ah well, just kill him and 3,000 of his supporters, that's that solved right?
Wait, here comes Marius with a small army of freed gladiators. Guess he won't be as easy to get rid of. Call in Sulla and hope Marius doesn't murder too many of the elites while he can, now the Popularis problem is solved for good right?
Aw crap, now Quintus Sertorius just turned Spain into a base for his rebellion against the Senate. Well, send Pompey to solve that issue the same way Sulla solved the problems Marius made and call it a day...
Hmm, why's there boss music heralding the entry of this 'Gaius Julius Caesar' character onto the political arena? Maybe doubling down on the suppression of the political opposition, up to and including mass-murdering them, without resolving any of the issues motivating them to oppose you in the first place is actually a losing strategy in the long run. Especially when your opponents tend to be well-armed even before all their fears are validated in rapid succession.

Okay, so we just knifed him in the back after he was nothing but magnanimous to us. That should be the end of it...wait, Mark Antony is rabble rousing and the plebs are pissed.
What's this about "Augustus?" Nah, he's just a kid, focus on Antony.
Edit: Even worse, at least the Optimates had the defence of "Tradition." What does the Establishment have?
I understand the aim is to impeach him after he leaves office to prevent the DNC having to put more time on their printers in 2024.
They have no intention of suffering another rampant outbreak of democracy again.

I said in another thread, Trump's best revenge before leaving office would be to declassify and dump anything/as much as he can ...
