Either right before or after the midterms. I think it was all the the reThug party will never recover from tRump, they are doomed for the next 50 years... etc etc. Started me thinking, what WOULD the right wing PTB be willing to do in the face of losing all political power?

If DT was brought down by a left wing patsy (who of course would be killed in the ensuing confusion), that sets him up as a martyr for the great white cause.

It's not just him. It's his whole party. They could stop him, but they don't.
