In fact, it's been posted here on DU at least twice that I've seen, if not more.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, either, but I'm prone to believe the Trojan Horse theory. Primarily because Republicans, imo, want 2025 so bad they can taste it.
They've been working on this goal for decades. Seriously, we can travel as far back to the FDR era; pre WWII. Remember General Smedley Butler: wealthy members of the business community recruited him for an insurrection against FDR in 1933. Fortunately for America their fascism attempt failed. And, hopefully they'll fail again this time around.
TFG was/is a good vehicle to divide our country. His ability to tap into what is his base. True believers. Primed to listen to, and repeat each lie or rationale TFG spouts. He's even "taught" them to be violent. TFG and his Maggats frighten regular, positive thinking Americans through not only violence but through bullying, intimidation, threats to them or their families, including gun-toting men with shotguns. Hell, some even plotted to kidnap and kill my Governor (Whitmer, Michigan).
The Powers that Be has put up with TFG's bullshit and rhetoric because he's the vehicle to gain the White House, along with the help of changing to unfair laws, cheating, and let's throw in Putin.
If they win, and of course TFG continues to deteriorate, he's going to have to go. But I'm not sure the 25th Amendment would safely work.
His Maggats would revolt from betrayl. All hell would break loose.
I'm thinking he'd either have to become very ill, or die for Vance to be accepted. Even then the conspiracy theories will be in full swing, along with a few fists.
I know I'm just rambling. I don't post much, and when I do, it's nothing like one, lol.
