The other timeline branch is where this "Trump stupid" actually works as a vaccine and you bounce back stronger than ever. In that scenario the patient(you) might have actually died if Trump had been somewhat competent.
Yup yup, going according to plan

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Most despots, historically and today, have a power-base. They have sizeable segments of the population that they keep happy. Iran would be an obvious example - we keep hearing how people are "tired of the regime", but there's clearly a significant demographic that still mostly supports them (I'm guessing, much as with the US, it's mostly rural, uneducated, and religious).
The despotism part just means it doesn't have to constitute a numerical majority, but regimes still need a degree of popular support.
[Edit] Actually, with Iran I suspect it's possible they might get tired of the religious conservatism, but any replacement regime will probably embrace aggressive nationalism even more than the current regime, and be even more anti-Western, anti-US, and anti-Israel.

Know nothing Trump is at it again putting himself in charge of stuff he will screw up:
Trump names himself chair of L.A. Olympics task force, sees role for military during Games
Trump's news conference may prompt questions about whether a president with a penchant for showmanship might assume an unusually active role in planning the Olympics.www.yahoo.com
Wasn't there another national leader who put himself in charge of the olympics a while ago? Trying to remember his name....let's see. Swammi? Slippy? Slappy? Swensen? Swanson?

More of what @Greenman voted for.

New executive order puts all grants under political control
All new funding on hold until Trump administration can cancel any previously funded grants.

So no more research grants for stuff like "why is duck penis screw shaped"...
May as well start preaching "curiosity is banned because it killed the cat".

Sorry Texans, repugs have other priorities - like trying to punish Dems who won't help them rig another election.
Says the guy who thinks all the women are out to get him……..I'm mostly propaganda-proof
Shit you can’t make up.
Remember how the right was super concerned about “law fare”?
Turns out that was projection as usual.

Trump’s War on Big Law Means It’s Harder to Challenge the Administration
Some of America’s largest law firms are refusing to take pro bono and paid legal work from groups that seek to hold the government to account on issues like environmental protection, LGBTQ+ rights and police accountability.

You misunderstood.
Their so called "lawfare" was their visceral rejection of holding them accountable for their crimes. That they should be above the law.
The actions you describe are more of the same. Stoking fear in the hearts of Americans so no one would dare meet them in a court of law.
Matches what I have been saying. Our future will be decided on the streets. In blood. Not under the now missing rule of law.

Yes, they've won. Virtually every institution has come to heel.
Next comes one party rule. Everything has an end.
Well the felon Trump just can't let matters drop:

"That's a nice university you've got there..."
So what is the Trump administration doing with the protection money they're collecting and the other congressionally appropriated funds they aren't spending (but also still somehow wracking up the bills)?
I thought Republicans were supposed to care about fiscal responsibility. Probably too busy caring about their new priorities, like pedophilia. Great party you've got there Greenman and co.

The way things are going, you're going to have an average of 4 departments under each appointee because there aren't that many moderately competent people that are also Trump bootlickers.

Trump vows to bring war to the United States.
He thinks he can just go to Mexico and kill people without consequence. Spoilers, there will be consequences. Maybe not immediately, but blood begets blood. A blood feud will be started.

Increasingly Democrats should be talking and planning how to do all the things to Republicans that the Republicans said they were already doing (and more). If I was president it would be slash and burn against the red voting rural economies which are largely propped up on blue state tax dollars.

Yep. Weaponize federalism. Don't really even need it from the top down. Blue states can (and should) do every little thing in their power that they can.
In a way, it's kind of already accidentally happening where you see all the traditional red states slide to the absolute bottom of every meaningful metric imaginable.

In my defense these are places that openly reject federal money if it comes from a D administration. I'm simply abiding by their own wishes.
