Yeah, but you see Lamp, we are past the event horizon, we have lost. People are deluding themselves to think the 2026 elections will save us. Those elections will likely be unfair and the results contrary to the administrations wants just thrown out. I read somewhere that 3 to 4 million people simply do not have a passport or birth certificate and up to 40 million may not. These are voters. How on earth can that be resolved in the next 18 months?
We are in a regressive period that will last decades. Liberal democracy has lost.
The destruction being wrought is irreversible.
The infrastructure for the type of renaissance I reference in #1 simply does not exist. Magat scum have seized the controls.
They are dismantling the very fabric of what would have an iota of uniting us.
They are dismantling education, and we will no longer have a common sense of America.
They are undermining or outright seizing control of any all aspects of society where resistance can foster-colleges, the legal profession, the media.
They are building the system to imprison agitators; they are laying the groundwork for the stripping of basic rights from all Americans.
The EOs coming out of this administration are mind boggling in their scope, their outright corruption and their outright unconstitutionality (nay ANTI-constitutionality) at a speed which Americans cannot keep up with.
I am afraid the simple truth is that it is way too late for the normal solutions to work. They simply can't. Last November's election was the last longshot
We either acquiesce or we fight, violently.
That is what history teaches us of moments like this.
The regressive revolution is WAY ahead of us. Most Americans don't even understand it is happening. I listen to educated, savvy political experts who STILL express surprise at what is happening. Not me, none of this surprises me-I read Project 2025, I am a student of history, I pay attention to what ------- and the people around him say. I am an amateur studier of human behavior.
And we are only 60+ days in!
Remember Project 2025 is only a plan for the first 6 months of this administration. That is the break it phase. What will follow is the consolidation phase where resistance will systematically be crushed. That means disappearing protestors, impeaching or ignoring judges, violent suppression of protests. AN ECONOMIC COLLAPSE HELPS THEM ACHIEVE THEIR AIMS AS IT WILL BE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY. Honestly, they have already started that with the targetng of law firms, the media and large corporations. Ex. Why do you think they picked a petty fight with the AP over the Gulf of Mexico? It was to create the precedent. Why do you think they ignored judges orders and spirited people to El Salvador-precedent. They then up the ante with arresting and deporting legal residents for no justification-precedent. They joke about sending people keying Teslas to El Salvador-to make it "reasonable" when they do it to a citizen over some real or manufactured outrage.
The groundwork is being laid for a dictatorship.
THESE PEOPLE IN POWER DO NOT BELIEVE IN LIBERAL DEMOCRACY, THEY BELIEVE IN A FORM OF NOBILE RULE.
