Adapted wholesale from Putin's Autocracy.

White Grievance is the pretext, as its always been for the Right in American History.

Making Liberal/Democratic governance appear weak and incompetent is the goal - see J. Carter, POTUS, 1977-1981. Malaise pays off.

Take it from BLM; Americans hate you when you block a road. They won't stand for it; they'll pass a law making it legal to run you over. This Trucker Shit won't work here.
