I don't think I've heard anyone on the J6 committee ask perhaps the most important question.

25. I believe that Steve Bannon has been one of the Machiavellian forces behind Trump.

Trump is too stupid to have any ideas beyond how to cheat taxpayers and satisfy his own ego with his power and the obeisance of everyone around him. Bannon may well be part of a small cabal of very wealthy right-wing religious nuts like Leonard Leo, Bill Barr, Ginni and Clarence Thomas, and a few others who have been working to engineer the presidency, Congress, and the SC to their liking. None believes in democracy. All believe in using their wealth to further their own interests. Trump was merely a tool they could easily manipulate while they mostly stayed out of the public eye.

What these people want is clearly an authoritarian theocracy and a neutered federal government that can do little more than collect taxes from the little people and send the money to the military, which then goes into then pockets of the mostly wealthy shareholders who own the industries supplying the military.

Republican state leaders are already making claims about states’s rights and are trying hard to get to a position where legislators control elections and voters are mere stage props. Their goal is to take more power for themselves and decrease the power of the federal government, part of the decades-old Republican attempt to undo every last part of the New Deal to once again return all power to the unelected rich.
