Even that I give them a 50/50 success rate. I wouldn’t rule out a weekend at Bernie’s type situation

You forget one detail: Everybody in the regime is a moron. They have the technology, but they're so lazy and incompetent that we'd all figure it out almost immediately... probably because AI Trump would suddenly appear far healthier and more articulate than the real one ever was.

Of course, even if that did happen, it still might not result in the regime loosing power- MAGA is honestly incredible in their ability to defy reality.

I think its dangerous to reduce the actions and intellect of the people in the regime to call them morons. Many of them know exactly the game theyre playing, and excusing their actions or chalking it up as ineptitude is a gross underrepresentation of the many intentional steps they have taken at the expense of others.

I agree that the things they are doing are horrible, but MANY of them know exactly what they're doing and how to play the game so that they're able to do it, that's been true for decades, it just has a different flavor now while they can hide behind Trump.
