They do, and it will only be “official” when a Republican does it. Once they control the courts, it’s game over. Nothing short of unstacking the court will avert a fascist dictatorship.

The party of Christian Feudalist law and order.
Rich kids turn out to be assholes!?!
There are tens of thousands of corporate senior managers who would do this for millions. Capitalism rewards psychopathy and sociopathy with wealth; legality is irrelevant, as long as it’s most profitable.
A Venn diagram of the psychologies sympathetic to tankism and fascism is a perfect circle — they’re all authoritarians.
They are the living embodiment of fascism.
NEW fascism. Identical to the old fascism!
You mean that “migrant caravan” that’s appeared on Fox before every election the last 5-10 years; each time miraculously evaporating the day after the election, never to be heard from again… until just before the next election?
You mean the rich would prefer to implement fascism than be less wealthy. Who could’ve possibly seen this coming?
Rich people don’t want to pay taxes.
Conservatisms ultimate allegiance lies with authoritarianism and dictatorship.
That’s expected when you live in a corporatocracy masquerading as a democracy.
Best they can do is let fascism win.

Top priority is always going to be things closer to home like housing and economic security, climate action, etc. The conservative state media machine and foreign “troll” farms they (along with Putin, Israel, etc) finance never stopped after winning 2016. Cambridge Analytica just evolved into multiple, more advanced, spin-offs.
My theory is that the younger gens are completely and entirely disenfranchised. Regardless of Trump being logically, objectively, worse… They see the non-stop corruption and collusion between politicians, corporations, and the judicial system; the enshittification and monopolization of everything. They don’t care about “the economy” when they have little hope of housing or economic security regardless. They don’t care about “the most significant climate action ever” when it’s decades too late, and they’re still likely to experience climate and ecological collapse.
Everyone has a limit. There’s only so many times you’ll go through chemo before you tell the doctors to get fucked and let the cancer run its course.
And the corporatocracy will ensure he “wins” the election with thunderous applause.
Clarence Thomas isn’t blind. He’s a house negro — a full blown race (and justice) traitor. He knows he’s a corrupt piece of shit sociopath and he revels in it.
The ridiculous part is that Americans still consider this court legitimate, when it is ruled by treasonous domestic terrorists.
If Trump actually gave a shit he’d end the war on drugs. Instead he’s making the most blatant virtue signal ever by saying he’ll free ONE white dude… that he probably won’t even free anyway because he’s a narcissistic compulsive liar.
No Republican has the balls to end the war on drugs, because they created “tough on crime” retribution. Rehabilitation and second chances are anti-conservative.
If he is convicted
I find it hilarious that people still believe there’s a rule of law while the US is a full blown corporatocracy masquarading as a democracy. Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell, or face any justice beyond financial (yet never enough to lose a life of luxury). Laws are for the commoners.
Most presidents have done this. Whether it be bombing countries they’re not at war with, trafficking drugs to enrich the war machine by arming enemies of the state, or invading foreign countries and committing war crimes based on their own manufactured lies.
