🧵🧵How Norm Eisen’s 2025 Democracy Playbook Plans to takeover for the Midterms Without the Presidency
What happens if Democrats + globalist NGOs lose the White House?
Nothing changes.
Because they’ve spent years building a machine that runs WITHOUT needing the presidency.
Here’s how they plan to rule through lawfare, NGOs, media + states + their plans for the 2026 midterms.

Step 1: State-Level Election Control
The White House does NOT certify elections.
→ Secretaries of State do.
In 2026, Democrats + NGOs (e.g. Democracy Alliance, Democratic Association of Secretaries of State) are spending $40M to dominate swing state election offices.
Control the election referees → Control the election.

Step 2: Civil Society Army (NGOs Never Leave)
NGOs don’t leave when presidents change.
Groups like:
•Democracy Docket (Marc Elias)
•Brennan Center
•Common Cause
•Fair Fight Action (Stacey Abrams)
•Southern Coalition for Social Justice
•Movement Voter Project
•SPLC
•Indivisible
→ Stay and FIGHT regardless of who’s in office.

Step 3: Lawfare and the Courts
The legal system is immune to elections.
NGO + Dem lawyers flood the courts 24/7:
•Blocking state laws
•Suing over voter roll rules
•Fighting ID requirements
•Forcing states to adopt expansive voting laws
Litigation locks in rules that presidents can’t easily undo.

Step 4: Media and Tech Narrative Control
White House gone? Doesn’t matter.
→ Big Media + Big Tech remain aligned.
NGO partners + think tanks push platforms to:
•Censor “misinformation”
•Boost pro-democracy narratives
•Silence populist speech
NGO partners: Brennan Center, ADL, Media Matters.

Step 5: Corporate + Academia Leverage
Universities, HR departments, Fortune 500 companies → don’t flip red with the presidency.
Through ESG + DEI + NGO partnerships, they push civic norms:
•“Election denial = disinfo”
•“Voting restrictions = racism”
•“Democracy needs protection from nationalists”
Culture capture continues.

Step 6: International + Foreign Leverage
Presidents come and go.
Global institutions do not.
Brookings, NDI, Open Society, UN, EU, and foreign-funded NGOs will:
•Pressure GOP states internationally
•Fund lawsuits
•Attack “authoritarian US actors” abroad
Globalization + democracy promotion = permanent pressure.

Step 7: Protest and Street Power
2020 wasn’t a one-off.
NGOs fund + mobilize:
•Indivisible
•MoveOn
•Color of Change
•Sunrise Movement
•SEIU + Teachers unions
To flood the streets and corporate offices if “democracy” is threatened.
Election crisis = instant mass pressure.

WHO WINS AND WHO LOSES
→ WHO GAINS POWER:
•Democrats + aligned civil society
•NGO ecosystem + globalist foundations
•Tech, Media, Academia
→ WHO LOSES:
•Populists
•State-level conservatives
•Election integrity + skeptic movements

The Democracy Playbook 2025 isn’t just a think piece.
It’s THE STRATEGY to govern no matter who wins elections.
→ Lock in rules by lawfare
→ Capture election offices
→ Control media narratives
→ Mobilize NGOs + street power
White House or not → power remains.

The question is what are we planning on doing to counter it.
