It's too late for that. We're creeping closer to Christian rule by tyranny
...why? Like why would someone want that? What the fuck is the point of getting rid of nonprofits?
Privatize education. Get stock in some for-profits your shit friends own like devos, declare everyone else terrorist or on your watch listz watch "woke" chaos, award your new for profits gov contracts. And that's just education.
Planned parenthood? Immigrant support orgs? The "wrong" religious orgs(while you conveniently get kick backs from those allowed to be in favor)...
It's not that hard to solve the equation here, it's simple corruption, destruction of opposition targets, retribution, and delivering your masses the lion matinee they voted for. Like every authoritarian ever.
Obviously to target those that are politically inconvenient to you. Or perhaps as a favor / quid pro quo for one of your rich buddies. Or maybe as revenge for pissing him off. You could pretty much guarantee these scenarios if Trump had this ability. And honestly he doesn't even need to care about any of it, he just needs some conservative think tank to give him a hit list.
For now
