I expect Trump will conduct a multi- front campaign, hitting leading Democrats with DOJ lawsuits for seditious activity, suing big media platforms that give voice to critical assessments like NYT and MSNBC for defamation, firing thousands of government bureaucrats and replacing them with obedient sycophants, using military or police violence to suppress protest demonstrations, and shutting down or revoking non profit status of progressive civic groups like Public Citizen and ACLU for advocating terrorism. This way, Trump will attempt to weaken his opposition to prevent a political backlash in the 2026 elections against his other draconian policies, like mass deportations and gutting health care policies and social security.
