As with most things of consequence, it’ll only be seen in the rear view mirror. “Hey, where’s my Social Security? Arrrgh! That must’ve been a coup!”

Currently, the Retrumplicans are stealthily replacing the “Might makes right” card from the right wing Rolodex with a hand written (in musk’s scrawl, if you must know) “Money makes right” card in front of the MAGAt rube noses and they don’t see it. Why it matters is because none of those MAGAt rubes has any money to speak of, squandering it all on cult bling.
