I think that's part of the trouble with trying to take down something this big. It has to be done systematically because it is dense with governmental machinations and pure scale. They have to find all the weak spots and then work out how to dismantle them. You'd think it could be done much quicker but there are scores of incompetent people doing the work coupled with fairly large tasks to accomplish. The gears move slowly, even as it's being destroyed.

I think another part of the problem is human resilience and adaptability. We somehow manage to keep saying "This is fine" while the house is on fire because we aren't personally feeling the heat yet (and by the time we do, it'll be too late). But we have nowhere else to go and the fire is way bigger than any of us can manage individually. Even if we manage to put it out, all we'll have left is the burnt wreckage--if there's anything left at all. Some are blissfully unaware that there's even a fire going on, some are pouring gas on it and everything in between.

So i guess it could have been done a lot more quickly and efficiently but the fact that Trump is at the helm means there's a level of incompetence baked into the operation that will inevitably lead to delays in the schedule of something like a fascist takeover.
