    I honestly don’t think there’s a strategy here outside of doing like a supergroup of the dumbest people on the planet.

    This is the farce. I do not believe any of these people are capable of the sort of calculating thought needed to enact their wish list of policies in any way that actually matters.

    It’s literally just to get the hogs squealing and to own the libs. Trump’s effectively doing a TV show

      I understand the ableist connotations of the phrase but the inmates really are running the asylum. The people in power now are not the ones cynically peddling the protocols of the elders of zion, now a whole generation of true believers are taking the helm. Shit is gonna be real bad folks.

        I get that they truly believe this shit, I just don’t see them being able to hold the helm of this ship for very long before crashing it directly into the rocks in a spectacular fashion

        I do think they will try to get their wishlist, I just do not believe they will in a way that matters and will be able to enforce it lol. Like yeah they got “voted” in, but the fervor is not there in the masses like would be needed for actual factual sparkling fascism to take hold.

        I think we’re in the farce

        Edit: at least that’s what is publicly facing us. If there’s some actual ideologues behind the scenes using this, that’s another story. I don’t see Trump willingly being used as a mascot like that, but maybe they found a way to tame him idk
