    3. As the regime falls, the religious movement takes over everything and establishes an overt theocracy.

      Don’t worry! They don’t need to “steal” elections, why would they? It’s not as if the Democrats will reverse anything, they’re all making a fortune. Remember Biden’s presidency?

      If Republicans seized power, that would be a fatal mistake (and they know it). I pray to God that I’m wrong and you’re right, and that they do seize power, because that will be the end of this charade. If only
