Suppose Trump is part of the cabal/swamp.
Election fraud is "proven". Trump found winner. Courts say not our jurisdiction. Military steps in to re-instate Mr. Trump. They say no new elections needed since he won. He returns as a hero with 40% of Americans following.
Military sticks around, for your "protection". Anybody opposed to what seems like military takeover/fascism are overpowered by millions of Trump supporters who will follow their leader no matter what. Even if he shoots someone in the middle of 5th Avenue. The military is full of Trump supporters, so they have the critical strength needed to maintain control. Q seemed right after all, they say. We'll never doubt him again.
Trump passes some "temporary" orders that seem like fascism but are for your protection. But over time these will become the new normal. Q is used to explain away any doubts among supporters.
Trump "dies" so soon after he just won, in false flag event done by "liberal freedom fighters". Sympathy wave is used to bring his son into office.
Trumpers see blood. Civil war is initiated by paid agents from both sides. More fascism to reign the new, higher level of chaos. Which then becomes new normal and so on in a downward cycle.
This would explain the effort put into the Q op. Why the swamp was not drained. It would mean the opposition to Trump from all quarters was controlled opposition all along, designed to prime people's minds. A kind of mass hypnosis.
People on both sides seem hypnotized. Whatever the 4 years were, they did do something permanently to Americans' minds, on both sides. Trump supporters also seem like blind followers.
I would agree as of today. But brainwashing is an amazing thing. Most liberals of the 20th century (who stood for freedom) would never have thought what liberals of today would stand for. It's like the whole ideology has been subverted. The roles of the rightwing and liberals have switched (think how it was during Nazi rule).
I could be wrong, but it seems to me Trump supporters would accept a military coup (how different is it from fascism?) for getting Trump back. That seems to me like brainwashing. It's their blind spot from which authoritarianism can creep up on them.
The roles can switch again, and the above scenario is speculation as to how.
