There are two pieces to the puzzle, and one "orange enigma"

First, there are the maga cult members who have been brainwashed into believing in some "apocalypse" and their orange leader is bringing it about. Of course, this is entirely in reverse, because he checks all the boxes for being the Antichrist. It is pure racism, hate and lies.

P2025 is their handbook for a "theocracy" taking over the country. Theocracy, but their "God" is an anti-God, the God of hate. It is very sick,

To them it is the desired "end"
To Trump, it is only the "means" to his "end"

More about this one below.

Second, there is a group of "techno christocrats" who are quite the opposite of the red meat mob. They are self-proclaimed elite who must run the planet. Because. That's their excuse: "because"

These are epitomized by nutcase Curtis Yarvin, about which I posted a ton here:

Follow links, if you want to know what Vance and his buddies Musk and Thiel are ready to implement. "with one sneeze"

As for Trump:

He has NO ideology, NO religion, NO beliefs, NO philosophy.
Only MONEY, and POWER to get him more money and to cover up his crimes.

He is somehow insanely in debt to Putin, who may have video dirt on Trump. Someone posted that the Epstein "papers" have dirt on wealthy people all over the globe (give or take Trump) who are being blackmailed via the Epstein data, and that Trump himself may have "inherited" the worldwide blackmail business from Epstein, and that disclosure of it will bust Trump's blackmail business "under new management".

Regardless, every action of his seems to serve two goals.

1. To serve/appease/pay Putin, and
2. To destroy the United States and take dictatorial charge over it, perhaps as payment to Putin, or just "to have all that power" and profit insanely and cover his crimes.

Here's an earlier in the year interpretation of his plan.
Pieces are falling into place.

How? Here are two articles on the "fascist playbook"
All the pieces are falling into place, and that playbook is a checklist.

respectable "government of laws, not of men." They'd much prefer a corrupt grifter who can be bribed and coerced into ignoring their crimes and handing out pardons if they should happen to get caught and convicted.
