Wouldn't cleaning up corrupt programs also look exactly like a "takeover"? Do you propose allowing the "quiet skies" program to continue, so that any president can weaponize it again? Like, if your argument has no practical reality attached to it, then we're really waiting our time here.

Policies like perestroika were fully state-driven and never framed themselves as a takeover, violent or otherwise. Glasnost was welcomed by the public after decades of obvious federal coverups. All you have to do is be transparent.
