In the minds of Dems, Never-Trumpers and Uniparty noodges an arrest may appear to be a no lose proposition. I don't believe these people think Trump can win no matter what, so they'd love to see him on the ballot in 2024. They'd also love to see him crowd out DeSantis who in my view is a bigger threat to win in 2024 than is DJT. Finally, if elements of the Trump base see fit to riot for real this time, then as you point out, they'll waste no time to declare an emergency and establish total control.
Risky? You bet. 'in the interests of the American people? Not even close. But these people have shown that they're in it for themselves and their hangers-on and don't give a hoot in Hell for anyone else while treating the US Constitution as a speed bump on their way to power. May they gag on fire and brimstone for eternity.
After reading this I immediately thought of this scene (https://youtu.be/8kpHK4YIwY4). Imagine Trump as Obi Wan and Vader as TPTB. Elon is right. The harder they go at Trump, the stronger he will become. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, before he cancelled himself, said prior to the 2016 election that Trump was playing 4D chess and TPTB were playing checkers. The latest round of Twitter Files released by Matt Taibbi reveals even more the degree that social media has been co-opted by TPTB to wage war on the citizens of this country.
That's a great clip! And Scott Adams was very accurate. They're like desperate amateurs constantly starting the political equivalent of dumpster fires in every direction.
I watched some of the Congressional hearings with Matt Taibbi and other journalists, and the way some Representatives--all of whom happened to be Democrats--treated and spoke to the journalists was absolutely abhorrent. They made the journalists out to be enemies of the State. To Taibbi's credit, he shut them down repeatedly.
I agree. Spectacle is at the center of it all, and that regardless of the actors, the play is the same. The only instance in which I think this might differ is when it comes to banking failures and currency collapses. Sure, the collapse/failures will happen no matter what, but who the players are determines whether we have a bumpy landing or a crash landing.

"May they gag on fire and brimstone for eternity." Now, that's one heck of a line! Will be very interesting to see how all of this plays out.
