Phase 2 of the Plan to Destroy American Democracy is in Full Swing, and Our Enemies Couldn’t Be Happier
Phase 2 Of the Plan to Destroy American Democracy is in Full Swing, and Our Enemies Couldn’t Be Happier
Now that DOGE’s digital takeover is complete, Phase 2 of the plan to replace American democracy with dictatorship is actively underway. The shock-and-awe style assault on our rights and institutions is ***designed ***to make you feel powerless and ready to do whatever Trump, Musk, and Putin want.
Changing the name of the link
But the plot to steal our wealth and rights falls apart when everyday Americans stop fighting each other and remember what makes us American: we fought to be free from a King so we the People could shape our own destiny.
(Even if DOGE was just incompetent and not actively malicious, the results amount to the same damage to our safety as individuals and national security as a whole. For once, I agree with Musk when he said

Phase 1: Disable Democracy’s Alarm System and Launch a Digital Coup
Phase 2 of the Plan to Destroy American Democracy is in Full Swing, and Our Enemies Couldn’t Be Happier
Every move by Trump 2.0 followed an orchestrated plan to break our democracy apart from the inside. DOGE’s assault on public servants moved fast and broke the law deliberately, so that by the time any judge tried to stop them, the damage was already done.
It turns out letting unvetted, unqualified teenagers have direct access to every Americans’ personal information and the nuclear freaking secrets is a real bad idea.
Just a few examples, because we don’t have all day:
Giving DOGE Nuclear Secrets
February 2025: A 23-year-old DOGE staffer, Luke Farritor, was granted access to National Nuclear Security Administration systems.[^7]
By April, DOGE loyalists had accounts and possible access to classified systems linking nuclear labs and weapons storage facilities.
Trump and DOGE’s Ongoing Cybersecurity and Intel Purge
At CISA, there were at least 3 waves of firing high-level officials in charge of defending US digital systems from foreign cyberattacks. In January 2025, over a dozen CISA officials tasked with elections security and countering foreign influence were placed on leave.(https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/11/cisa-election-security-officials-placed-on-leave-report/) In February, DOGE fired another 130 CISA staff.
By March, members of CISA’s red team—the people with the skills and clearance to stop DOGE’s digital coup—were also fired, likely in preparation for what they planned next.
https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/11/doge-axes-cisa-red-team-staffers-amid-ongoing-federal-cuts/
Around the same time, SecDef Hegseth directed U.S. Cyber Command, the military wing that protects Department of Defense networks, to no longer consider Russia a threat and to cease all offensive operations against them. https://therecord.media/hegseth-orders-cyber-command-stand-down-russia-planning
Shortly after, Trump fired the head of US Cyber Command General Timothy Haugh. https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/trump-fires-nsa-director-head-us-cyber-command/744480/ If I had to guess what happened, probably General Haugh didn’t bend reality to agree with Trump’s love of Putin.
It Turns out when You Cut a Ruthless Adversary Some Slack, They Don’t just Stop Attacking
Just days before Trump and Putin’s Alaska summit, Politico reported (https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/06/federal-court-filing-system-pacer-hack-00496916?utm_campaign=8/7/25++AM:&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_term=Punchbowl+AM+and+Active+Subscribers+from+Memberful+Combined) that the U.S. federal court’s filing system was hacked with one source saying, “It was like taking candy from a baby for these guys.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/12/federal-courts-hack-security-flaw-00506392 The NYT attributed the hack to Russia and revealed that the stolen info included investigations of defendants with Russian surnames,
and the identities of confidential informants.

Then, Trump’s Failure to Stand up to Russia Turned Deadly This Week
Putin bombed an American factory in Ukraine https://abcnews.go.com/International/russia-hits-ukraine-massive-drone-missile-attack-kyiv/story?id=124837267 and Trump’s only response was to gush over a photo of the pair like he was a girl with the latest issue of Teen Bop.

Back to April—DOGE fired scientists and researchers at the National Institute for Standards and Technology. https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/house-lutnick-doge-job-cuts-nist/744375/ NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework plays a crucial role in driving innovation for U.S. businesses, among many other functions. https://www.manufacturingdive.com/news/commerce-department-nist-budget-proposal-2026-mep-manufacturing-usa/750429/
Cuts include the Manufacturing USA program, and Manufacturing Extension Partnership centers which help train Americans to enter skilled trades as well as work to involve small- and medium-sized businesses in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.
Seems like the opposite of what Trump should do if he wants to bring “made in America” jobs back from China. But the move to push small U.S. suppliers out makes more sense https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/aug/22/trump-stake-intel-chips in the context of Trump’s recent shakedown of Intel and Nvidia.

Phase 1 of DOGE’s Assault on Democracy Mirrors how a Criminal Plans a Robbery. First, Disable the Alarm Systems so no One Can Call for Help. Then Break in and Steal the Loot (Americans’ data)
Phase 2: Purge the Military, Replace Loyalty to Country with Loyalty to One Man, Spread the DOGE Model Nationwide
Phase 2 replaces those pesky Constitution-following public servants with loyalists willing to attack their fellow Americans. When you have to swear loyalty to one man instead of the country, that’s called a monarchy. Y’know, the thing we fought a Revolution against.
Trump’s Purge of top-ranking military and intel officials continues while he quickly fills the Swamp with the cruelest among us. We can hear the ominous music playing for what will come next.
For example:
-
ICE briefly offered a mind-blowingly illegal $200 cash bonus to agents who deport their captives within 7 days. https://www.latintimes.com/ice-cancels-50000-bonus-plan-agents-rev-deportations-less-four-hours-after-launch-report-588055
-
After complaining that “DEI hires” are lowering standards, Trump’s FBI, under Kash Patel, cut education and training requirements to fill vacancies left when 5,000 agents refused to bend the knee and quit. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/us/politics/fbi-agent-recruitment-requirements-trump.html
But Phase 2 is More than just Personnel Moves. It’s also about Enforcing Submission to the New Regime Nationwide
At least 11 states have proposed DOGE-inspired initiatives bearing the DOGE name and focused on using AI to magically find all the waste, fraud, and abuse going on.
Meanwhile, the DOJ sent letters to Democrat-led states threatening to charge officials with felony conspiracy for enforcing their own state law as is their Constitutional right.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-publishes-list-sanctuary-jurisdictions Washington State Governor Bob Ferguson responded:
“In the America that I love and have taught my children to revere, we resolve our differences peacefully through public discourse and, if necessary, through the courts—not by threatening political opponents with imprisonment.”
I Know it Can Feel Hopeless. But Actually, Our New Oligarchs Are Seriously Afraid of Americans Uniting and Exposing Their Plot
phase 2 has different arms
- Lawfare against blue states, with no actual law
The DOJ telegraphed their plans to punish Democrat-led states with the August 5 release of a list of “sanctuary jurisdictions,” listing exclusively blue cities, counties, and states, as well as DC in a move that foreshadowed the coming military-style takeover.
I thought they were winding up to cut funding, but the administration jumped straight to threatening to charge Democrat governors with felony conspiracy for “obstructing” Trump’s scapegoat crackdown on immigrants.
) also making it harder to americans to vote, especially rural americans and married women, while trump cites Putin on the need to eliminate mail in voting, once again siding w Russian dictator over the US intel community
b. replacing career officials with political loyalists — setting the stage for a monarchy or regime or no more elections
c. punishing American cities lile DC to distract from Epstein files.
trump has acted awfully guilty over his association w epstein—lying about being on his jet when flight records show otherwise, diverting fbi agents at the nations largest field office away from important work to redact the epstein files aroind the clock, having number two at doj amd former trump defense lawyer interview maxwell with no public record and then send her to club fed min security, breaking dojs own rules around sex offenders being inelegible for min security
d. states rights for red states, prosecution and federal overreach for blu
phase 1
there were at least three waves of firings at CISA alone, then we have the removal of NSA director who was also head of US Cyber Command
late Feb - trump ordered CISA, CyberCom to stop considering Russia a threat and suspend offensive operations
also late feb - State Dept cybersecurity official gives speech to UN saying China and Iran are greatest cyber threats, omitting Russia
April 1ish-
the NSA/cybercom guy prob protested behind the scenes leading to his removal
career officials vs political appointees
briefly explain why it wld be bad for americans if the fed gov was all political appointees with no one to ensure continuity of benefit payments and foreign policy
r/fednews turned from an unexciting forum with bureaucratic questions about benefits and forms
and turned into a real time record of the public servants being fired, discarded like trash, told to email their 5 bullet points each week like a toxic startup
-5 things email exposed cia officers working on china
-intel agency nightmare
-cisa email us your info, send password in plaintext email
working for gov doesnt pay well but makes up for it in serving the public
” we want to traumatize them, make them not want to come to work” russell vought
vast majority are career officials which is used as an insult but actually ensures continuity of gov, orderly transfer of power
bc replacing rhe whole gov every admim change would interrupt services amd leave our country vulnerable to attack
why the fbi directors term is staggered as a bridge between admins

nn://note/68a9e72e953a15cbe9958d79
but trump refused the normal transition resources because he was busy planning his purge in secret (cite article about the private office in dc where doge likely planned phase 1 - seize the digital infrastructure and fire anyone capable if speaking out
move fast, break things (breaking things is a feature not a bug)
is doges motto to induce the shock and awe vought called for, paralyzing, by the time the courts catch up.the damage is done
in their crusade to eliminate “waste fraud and abuse” trump fired 8 inspectors general (eliminate anyone up the chain for whistleblowers to ccomplain ti), seize the digital infrastructure of the fed gov using teenagers whose only quality is their willingness to do anything for musk, use the data to train private ai and enrich musks business interests (berulis nlrb, spacex contracting with faa air control and expanding contracts with ?insert list of agencies that have awarded musks companies contracts in 2025)
self-dealing, stealing data in violation of federal law and laughing because by the time the courts stop them the damage is done, ?other examples of musk doing the same thing he claims to be against?
breaking down any oversight or transparency, punishing whistleblowers and covering up their crimes
doge has successfully dissolved into each agency and now phase 2 in the plan to destroy american democracy is in full swing
—
phase 2 is replace civil servants dedicated to constitutuojn and american people as a whole with loyalists devoted to one person only
isnt this what we fought american revolution over?
-
no kings - loyalty to trump above constitution. back to monarchy

even democrats dont like democrats
approval at record lows, to the point those numbers include dems
dems think they can just sit back and wait for some mythical blue wave come mid terms—why?
maga doesnt like you and your base is despondent or disgusted
time has never been more ripe for a new party
examples
-
Bernie iced out in 2016, delegates walked out in protest
-
AOC is clearly future of the party, but she’s not being groomed for leadership and iced out of committee assignments
-
Schumer saying pass the budget to avoid shutdown or DOGE will be worse somehow?!
-
Pelosi pretends like Biden shouldve dropped out, this is retconning.
-
Al Green - critical to first trump impeachment. the ONLY one to speak up for Medicare. Censured by ? Dems. the only other resistance was some pathetic cardboard signs
-
the texas legislator who’s trapped at the statw house.
strongly worded letters are the best they got and reactive outrage (can you believe trump said/did xyz) play directly into the formula trump has mastered.
Congrats Newsom, you’re slightly less shit than Trump, want a cookie? Truly.damning with faint praise if that’s your whole identity.
Dems should have their own TV channel not just blasting Trump but TELLING US WHAT THE FUCK THEIR PLAN IS,
theyre so out of touch they cant even conceive of what actually fighting for the rest of us troglodytes would look like
This isnt free advice for what Dems should do.
Heres the plan
-
Primary every single Dem. Just get to the debate and set the agenda
-
Independent caucus— Start shaving off votes. Join Bernie and Angus King until a de facto real opposition party forms
