Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
After they consolidate power, their own supporters will be disarmed as well. They only protect their supporters now because they need them, once they get to absolute power they will not need 99% of their supporters. And drones will take over a large share of state oppression duties.
the Yarvinist techno-fascist wing definitely. the christian nationalist wing will allow their supporters to remain armed but only as an organized militia/brownshirt reserve.
which is why the Yarvinist techno-fascists may eventually pivot to supporting the dems since they already have their networks cultivated through the silicon valley “left”. they will push for heavy gun restrictions while speedrunning autonomous drones in the hope they can neuter the christian nationalists or at least bait them into lone wolf attacks and standoffs (depleting their capabilities and unmasking their most violent footsoldiers).
these two right wing factions know they are going to have to face each other in a full scale civil war eventually. one has sheer numbers and firepower, the other “AI and drones (eventually)” as well as increasingly larger shares of the MIC
they may agree to carve up the nation but the peace will not last
I have been puzzling about that as well, the religious rights and The business factions will have to fight. I cannot say who would win, I would think the business, which includes those techno fascists, but not necessarily, one will be subordinated.
I also gotta figure that since the business faction is more dependent on money to keep operating, and years of lead are bad for business, a protracted struggle would favor the fundamentalists. They also depend on money, but have had a generational head start indoctrinating violent true believers who are ready to go whenever.
