Conservative billionaires like Charles Koch are spending hundreds-of-millions to back the fascists' takeover of the United States. Their efforts began long before trump entered the political scene.
Using Rupert Murdoch's FOX Noise to keep the right-wing nuts stirred up with the lies and misinformation conservatives crave, the billionaires have tens-of-millions of loyal right-wing nut foot soldiers eager to fall under the authoritarian rule of the billionaires' designated führer.
The right-wing nuts have received the necessary brainwashing from FOX Noise and the like to make them believe pushing the nation towards a dictatorship is the patriotic thing to do.
The same billionaires financing the fascist takeover also pull the strings of the Justice Department and Merrick Garland. Garland will be permitted to prosecute the small fries involved in the planning of the attempted coup, but the Congress members that violated their oath and the law will never be held accountable. As far as being disqualified to hold public office for their treasonous act, their crimes prove their loyalty to the billionaires, loyalty that will be rewarded.
