Makes me wonder how long before we see ICE agents wandering the streets and into coffee shops and the shop goes silent because the power has gone to their heads. They look around and everyone avoids eye contact.

How long until there are Trump Youth?

How long before there is a symbol people decide to wear on an armband?

I would have said that that's poor comedy a year ago, now I think there is a non-zero chance of that happening.

Schools curriculums are being vetted. Historical record is being removed from Government websites. Books are being carefully selected for their slant to the Right. Religiosity is being introduced as a compulsory strangeness because it isn't 'religion' as a general concept, it is a very particular flavour of magic sky person rules.

And there now exists technology that can influence people via social media at an individual level.

And while this is happening, the judicial system tries to do some stuff, but is ignored. The Dems are waiting for an election. The public is being told that all the shit going wrong is Biden and the Dems.

I just don't get why the threat represented by the orange stain and the Project 2025 people and the muskrat, and the reality television crew he has assigned positions in the Government, isn't taken more seriously.

And so now the public is protesting.

Burnie and AOC have stepped up.

Tesla's are being vandalised.

And the rest of the World is busy figuring out how to carry on while the USA goes down China's path many years back where China decided to be isolationist and keep the world away. This is what the orange meat bag thinks can happen. He doesn't understand economy of scale, supply chains, globalisation of technology, gosh he doesn't even understand how a tariff works (or he does and he knows it will shift money back to the Gov).
