Democracy Experts Scorned by Trump Are Plotting to Sabotage Democracy
NRO ^ | 7 July 2025 | Charles C W Cooke

Posted on 07/11/2025 5:12:08 AM PDT by Rummyfan

I have just come across the most remarkable story in the news outlet NOTUS. Its headline is, “Trump Fired Them. Now They’re Plotting to Stop Him,” and yet, despite its explosive subject matter, it is written in the sort of dry, matter-of-fact tone that one would typically associate with a report on the most recent meeting of the county drainage board. In fairness, too little editorial comment is a lesser sin in this type of article than too much, but, given the astounding implications of the facts the author relates, I thought that it deserved a good deal more comment that it received, and so, having picked my jaw up from its new home atop my keyboard, I resolved to provide just that.

The story starts like this:

ome of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump’s power.

For years, these officials were stationed across the globe actively supporting opposition movements in autocratic nations. Now they’ve got time, a network of former colleagues and a growing sense of moral indignation.

Ah, interesting. They’re angry with the president, so they’re going to try to persuade their fellow citizens that Trump and his party are bad, or bring a lawsuit against actions they believe to be illegal, or run for office on an anti-Trump platform, then?

Given how these same type of degenerates (likely many of them) treated the January 6th Patriots, they should all be arrested and incarcerated for several years before receiving any sort of consideration from the “justice” system.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

May they all rot.

Here's the creepiest anti-Democracy thing I've EVER seen in the U.S.A.


I think THIS was intended to send a chill - the date AND the
imagery used COULD NOT have been accidental nor coincidental

“Democracy” is a term that is deliberately misinterpreted and poorly defined. Communist governments are fond of including “Democratic” in the titles they so pompously apply to their regimes. Democratic selection of those who represent their constituents in some level of governance, be it local, provincial or national in character, are “democratic” in a far difference sense.

Those who style themselves as “democratic” are actually masking a drive to assume autocratic rule the moment they get 50% plus one of the popular vote.

How a minority, upon gaining the majority, despises and oppresses the minority.

“Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one,” said a currently employed federal official, who spoke to NOTUS on condition of anonymity. “They were so quick to disband AID, the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, it might have been safer to keep your regime.”

Seems to me the Left and their puppets the Democrats are realizing that with their policies they probably will take a shellacking in 2026 and 2028 so let’s win by insurrection.

This just proves that it was a brilliant move to shut down the rogue, deep state agency USAID. I’m disappointed that Samantha Powers isn’t being investigated along with Brennan and Comey. She was illegally unmasking people around Trump caught in Obama authorized wire taps. Despicable.

I was watching Michael Benz report on this last night on War Room. Suddenly , my search bar was redirected to an unknown url, and this kind of thing took over (What is a UUID, and what is it used for?cockroachlabs.com). it redirected my computer into settings and was proceeding to do who knows what when I terminated the connection, It seemed just like what Sharyl Attkison described so long ago when she worked at CBS. Antway, I feel like I’ve been tagged with this uuid and extremely concerning the path the computer was taking, especially considering the subject and people under discussion when it happened.

No, it can’t. It’s a very specific crime described in the Constitution. You should read it sometime.
