Everyone needs to become well read on Yarvin&#x27;s &#x27;Butterfly Revolution,&#x27; because that&#x27;s what&#x27;s been planned and that&#x27;s what&#x27;s being executed before our eyes.<p>This is the early stage, &quot;RAGE: Retire All Government Employees.&quot;<p>Later stages will include (per the published work of Yarvin) &quot;Ignore the courts&quot; (president decides to dispute the <i>Marbury v Madison</i> decision on which the SC&#x27;s authority is based), at which point the only check on the executive would be congress. This is the party who wouldn&#x27;t convict in the Senate when he attacked the capitol in a brazen act of insurrection.<p>So realistically no check from the supreme court, no check from congress. The Constitution is whatever the president says it is.<p>Final stages will be centralization of police power nationally and elimination of the &quot;Cathedral&quot; (institutional, cultural power wielded by the free press and universities), which are the final firewalls protecting democracy.<p>Their plan is unchecked executive power, dictator. End of democracy. &quot;You won&#x27;t have to vote again.&quot; They are literal monarchists with a thin veneer of technocrat.<p>Yarvin is an avowed enemy of democracy and his followers, including the <i>Vice President</i> are working to burn ours down in public, right now.

I think this would be illegal, without going through the proper channels, but it seems like the administration has successfully exploited a vulnerability in the government that if they control enough of the executive branch they can break any laws with the only recourse being impeachment, which is unlikely?

When the IRS is garnishing 20%+ of my paychecks and the value returned to the taxpayer is abysmal as it is, I&#x27;m 100% for this.<p>If federal taxes came down to earth to something reasonable like 2%-3%, I would be thinking much differently.
