The dictator in chief likes to kill people.

47. I think it would have to start with a coalition of former presidents, senators, military flag officers and state

governors who also believe the current system can no longer be patched back together with the damage Trump and the SCOTUS have done. I think they need a rewrite of the Constitution which would include things like corporations are not people and money is not speech in a definitions section similar to what the CFR has. Include the Declaration of Independence as a legal document. Codify voting and privacy as rights, revisit FDR's second bill of rights. Then set up elections to fill the seats in the new congress. Again any opposition would be stymied by the stampede to be included to ensure that they weren't left out of the new power structure. I'm not sure of the details. If it were me, campaign contributions of any type would be banned. I would go set a mission statement for the country, decide on tasks to fulfill the missions, assign tasks to agencies, set up every federal agency as a semi-independent entity like the post-office with a set budget. They could provide documentation to congress to appeal for adjustments but the annual budget drama would be gone. Congress and the executive branch would have joint oversight over the agencies and consequences if they didn't fulfill their charter. Central control and micromanagement needs to end. If they don't trust someone to do their job, get rid of them, but congress simply isn't smart enough and doesn't have the time to learn enough to micromanage say the USFWS. So they get a complaint from a rich landowner in Wyoming and then want to rework (or work over) the USFWS to appease a campaign contributor.
It is a high-risk operation, but I don't see any realistic option anymore. Somewhere here on DU the guy who dresses as a woman went through 4 possible outcomes as a democracy becomes authoritarian. We won't make it to the 1 good one, we are too polarized.
