The measures Trump is already taking are almost all in court. Short of a new revolution, there’s not much more extreme that is going to be tolerated by this very, very sick dying body that we call the USA.
But the takeover is much, much more than just in this country; it involves the whole world and all the big money in the world The big money has bought off or threatened almost everybody.
This is much harder than trying to get through Mordor to throw the ring of power in the Crack of Doom. Orcs and Oruk-hai are easy to recognize and die at the swing of a sword. Saruman and Sauron had their Wormtongues and Denethors, and many were entranced like Theoden, but the soldiers and hobbits who were supposed to do the fighting were not entranced like Theoden and Sauron had not taken over all the airwaves to convince all the soldiers that Sauron was holy and Aragorn corrupt. What we face is much harder than the prospect of destroying the ring of power.
Anybody who understands any of this would be saying with Gandalf, “Only a fool’s hope for Frodo.” But they would keep fighting anyway, because if you don’t everything is lost. You can give up on Frodo, convinced he’s not the right person to do the job, or you can buy him time to do the only thing that will win the war.
Sometimes the only way to attack evil is a very long process.
The courts are causing as much mischief as they can—but in the real world they are probably affecting less than five percent of the administration’s policies.
An excellent example is federal employees. Most of those fired or who have resigned are gone. They are not coming back.
Another example is environmental policy. Major positive changes are happening in the real world.
If you look closely at any issue that interests you the situation is similar.
The administration is marching through town and the courts are just kicking up a lot of dust.
