Trump's followers in government and the bureaucracy realize his incompetence and inconsistency is threatening all the gains they have made in dismantling the welfare state, tax policy, regulatory "reform", labor relations, environmental destruction and in mobilizing the Deplorables into a unified political force and securing it all with voter suppression and redistricting. For example, Trump's war on immigrants not only is bad news for illegals, it could also mean that a labor shortage will eventually develop that will force wages to skyrocket. With no desperate and vulnerable foreign labor, employers might actually be forced to paying a living wage, or (The horror!) start offering benefits to attract domestic workers. The corporate elite isn't about to let that happen.

So his own party decides to eliminate Trump, possibly by violence, possibly by a bloodless coup, possibly by some sort of trumped-up charges or accusations leading to arrest or impeachment or some 25th amendment excuse. In order to keep his troglodyte followers from resisting the attack on their hero, they will find a way to blame his removal on the Liberals and the Democrats. Obama and Clinton are already being blamed for all of the Right's problems, even some purely imaginary ones that have been fabricated to distract us from the real ones. The removal of Trump would result in a purge of all Liberals, and any troublesome Conservatives who can be conveniently characterized as Liberals. It could turn into a bloodbath, perhaps not orchestrated by the insurgency, but it would play right into their plan and they would have little incentive to stop it.

I'm serious. These people already control the legislative and judicial branches, the bureaucracy, local and state government, and by 2020 they may very well have removed all opposition in Justice and the FBI. The fundowackos can be bought with a comprehensive ban on abortion and the teaching of Darwinism. The business community has a lot to lose, and they will do whatever it takes to keep from losing any of it. They have all the power, funding, media and propaganda resources they need already in place, as well as the guns, fanaticism and patriotic paranoia of the 2nd amendment crowd and the skinhead and Aryan militias. All they need now is a motive, organization and leadership. And there is nothing like the prospect of a Democratic sweep to provide that.

And of course, the Russians would do everything they could to help things along. They seem to have a better understanding of our system and more working tools for affecting it than any American institution.

Even if this revolution is defeated and the conspiracy is exposed, America as we know it will be finished. Either the pendulum will swing all the way back to a left-wing dictatorship, or a victorious and re-energized Trump faction will crack down and institute an authoritarian police state more on the classical fascist model. We are still suffering from the legacy of our last Civil War, we will not survive another.
