Just this month, the barely competent Republicans have managed to:

Allow unlimited contributions of money to candidates after being elected

Severely limit ability to sue government employees for outside-of-duty infringements on civil liberties ("Absolute Immunity")

Reclassify Miranda as a suggestion and not a right

Overturn Roe

Allow schools to establish religious practices

Neuter the Voting Rights Act

Sounds like the takeover might already be complete.
