12. I thought Nixon's disgrace

would break the Right. I was wrong.
They took it as a teachable moment, and developed a long-term, generational plan to seize and hold the wealth and the power.
They've succeeded with the wealth:

Now, for many years the Right has been working to buy and control state legislatures. They gained around a thousand seats during Obama.
One reason is to force a Constitutional Convention, and they're only a few states short at this time.
Another is to achieve something like Moore v. Harper, so a bought state legislature can hold the ultimate power.

They'll dump Trump, use him for a fall guy, and move the next puppet forward.
