The reason why all of these political attempts have failed is poor cultural leverage. As Andrew Breitbart said, "Politics is downstream from culture".

At the present time, the Executive is weaker than:

1. Education
2. Silicon Valley
3. Media
4. Hollywood

Trump has taken the media down a peg. He's also done fuck all about the other powers there. I would think he'd be worth voting for just to rile up those groups. And the potential for another conservative SCOTUS judge.

Also, with a deep state president, I have no idea how you expect fighting back to happen. Most people won't elect to die when inspectors come for their guns. The government will know exactly who is dangerous to them, and mostly who has these guns due to social media. If it gets there, the only way out that I can see is if the power factions come to blows with each other before the gulags are fully loaded.
