We’ll need a rubber stamp judiciary. (Take away the power of judicial review).
We’ll need to nurture direct democracy – pure majority rule – over representative democracy. (Block efforts to reform Israel’s electoral system).
We will need to disrespect and delegitimize those not part of our majority (see scapegoating).
We will need to more expertly exploit the irresponsible behavior of elites – especially in the political opposition, media and in the courts – since they often anyway play into our populist hands.
We will need to even more cunningly manipulate mass politics through social media.
We will need to consider moving to make the Party Leader both prime minister and president.
We will need to rely on the demographically potent non-Zionist parties who reject national service as frivolity.
We will need for the "non-practicing Orthodox" masses to believe that these non-Zionists represent authentic or classic Judaism.
In fact, the masses need to think that these forces are actually Zionist.

We need to develop the cult of personality in our Party Leader just as the ultra-Orthodox do with their admors and rabbis.
The masses need to fear that if the Party Leader left the scene their security and well-being would be at risk.
We will need to make sure that only our authorized state-funded clergy determine what “halacha” is.
We will need to better use scapegoating to manipulate the sentiments of the anti-intellectual, conspiratorialist masses.
We will need to scapegoat “the Arabs” and “the Reform” and “the Left” and the “media.” Also let’s not forget the “traitors to the right.”
We will need to block efforts to create a Constitution for Israel or to enshrine civil liberties. Otherwise, we will be unable to exploit the passions of the majority.
We have much to do to prepare for 17 September 2019.

I am open to running your criticism if it is not ad hominem. I prefer praise, though.
