The Magic Resistance famously did a wide variety of workings seeking to remove Trump from office. However, they couldn't admit to themselves that they were throwing curses because they hated Trump because they have an absolute psychodramatic need to see themselves as The Good Guys(TM), so their actions must be Fully Justified(TM), so they convinced themselves (change in consciousness in accordance with will, after all...) that Trump was the Evilest Evil That Ever Eviled Even Worse Than Hitler et cetera ad nauseum.
One consequence of this is that the justifications likely found their ways into the Magic Resistance workings, so the target wasn't just Orange Man Bad, but The President Who Serves Foreign Influence. Of course, there's the small matter that, in reality, Trump was none of the things they smeared him with, so all their Fully Justified(TM) hexes were left hanging in search of a deserving target.
Now, we have a President who certainly seems to be quite deserving of removal under the 25th Amendment, and appears to be neck-deep in an entire political career worth of various foreign bribery schemes. (1) Could the Magic Resistance workings have arranged to satisfy their own prerequisites for the removal of a corrupt President?
A few more loosely related bits:
Some of the known Magic Resistance workings were attempts to curtail foreign influence in American politics. Since a fair chunk of the Magic Resistance were themselves foreign, the alt-right monkeywrenchers probably had considerable effect with an "agree and amplify" technique. (2) Can such a working vulnerable to "may they get exactly what they ask" be fairly described as self-monkeywrenching?
Assuming that those workings did indeed create a barrier to foreign magic affecting American politics, thus trapping magic raised by foreign elements of the Magic Resistance in their own countries, I think I have a possible explanation for something mentioned last week. We know that the MR attempted workings that can be described as mass mind-control spells, with two examples mentioned here of attempts to abolish "vaccine hesitancy" and to convert Trump supporters to the PMC/MR cause. Other commenters have previously noted being asked to help with MR workings by people who otherwise had no use for the occult. This suggests that there may have been workings to expand the MR that may have actually worked. Last week, a seemingly-uninvolved Canadian with bizarre views on euthanasia was mentioned and you expressed confusion that someone not involved with the MR could be affected like that. I suggest that the "trapped magic" thrown by foreign MR members is finding unexpected ways to earth out. (3) Does this scenario seem plausible to you?
Lastly, in your opening post, you mention a Martinist tradition of not naming initiators and thus needing "slightly less evasive routes". Should that be more evasive, since naming your initiator would be the most direct route, or am I missing something here?
