To take the Presidency Trump with his MAGA minority of voters, he needs a two-pronged strategy:
- Use the Roberts Court to win an Electoral College majority. It’s already given him voter suppression, and its record of anti-democratic States Rights decisions indicate it will not object if the Republican State Legislatures of Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire disregard the popular vote and hand Trump victory.
- Use Jan. 6th style mass demonstrations and MAGA pressure to convince and compel the ruling elite—the Supreme Court, military high command, corporate leaders, and vacillating Republican State Legislators—to accede to his power grab.
Trump’s meeting with grassroots fascist organizer Nick Fuentes and talk of terminating the Constitution indicate he’s toying with violent mass action. The MAGAs are the most politically active sector of America, driving the nation’s issues and political atmosphere, including the Democrats. Trump gets their rage and sense of victimization as no corporate politician can. He could wield them to gain power.
Trump is weakened—his attempt to place loyalists in Party leadership, and Bannon’s incitement of MAGA militants to seize the election both failed. With Jan. 6th, Trump showed cowardice, inciting MAGAs to storm Congress then throwing them under the bus. The past year, he descended into narcissistic whining about his lost election.
To reach the top, Trump needs underlings with a guiding ideology, strategy, and independent organization, and must get his mojo back, or he’ll fail.
The system held for the midterm elections, so Democrats will continue to deny all reform. The anti-popular disarray in both political parties is an opportunity for union and other grassroots organizing to build a power base to rival the MAGAs.
