Is anyone collating and curating a list of the fascists behind the current American coup? (self.flippanarchy)

And I’m talking about all fascists directly involved in the current coup, from Musky-boy and the DOJ appointee Ed Martin all the way down to the individual DOGE staffers.

At some point, America is going to have it’s own version of the Nuremberg trials, and there needs to be some sort of shadow archival records system that can reliably emerge out the far end with sufficient evidence to make these monsters hang.

This is a coup to make the rule of law and the constitution irrelevant. Fascist systems have always worked via this playbook - they do everything just within the law… until the law no longer matters, and then they do whatever the hell they want.

As someone said elsewhere (on HN, to be exact):

People seem to think that:

Auto-coups don't exist

Coups require tanks on the street

Once a coup is started it will succeed.

This is a an auto-coup, where the president is trying to seize power that is not granted by elections, and trying to make the legal system irrelevant. All in the name of urgency and saving the country (we call them "salva patrias" in Spain for a reason). No one can vote for this. Voting a president does not make the president all powerful.

Also, this coup does not need to succeed. We saw this recently in South Korea. This will only succeed if people don't oppose it. Don't believe them when they make you feel like you already lost. Finally, the game has changed for the supporters of democracy. This is no longer about writing stern worded letters, if you catch my drift.
