The Regime has spent years trying to destroy Donald Trump; expect it to get far worse should he win the election.
Key takeaways
The effort to stop Trump has involved a coordinated campaign by federal bureaucracies, legacy media, and aligned institutions (collectively "the Regime") that began with promoting him as an unelectable candidate in 2016 and evolved into increasingly desperate attempts to prevent his return to power.
The Regime's tactics evolved from traditional opposition (negative coverage, opposition research) to unprecedented measures including attempting to overturn election results, weaponizing law enforcement, supporting ballot disqualification efforts, and tolerating political violence.
Media manipulation has been central to the campaign, with legacy outlets consistently distorting facts, suppressing unfavorable stories like the Hunter Biden laptop, and abandoning journalistic principles when those principles conflict with anti-Trump objectives.
The Regime's commitment to democratic principles is selective, condemning "election denial" while attempting to remove Trump from ballots, defending "norms" while proposing radical institutional changes, and championing "democracy" while supporting undemocratic methods to achieve its goals.
Recent events, including Biden's replacement with Harris and increasingly extreme rhetoric comparing Trump to Hitler, suggest the Regime will likely respond to a 2024 Trump victory by abandoning any pretense of accepting democratic outcomes — the very behavior they've spent years condemning.
