76 days from today, the American dictator takes power.
Because that's how we do things here:
The worst possible outcome flowing from the best possible system of government.
It's premature to say it's all over, but I'm holding out scant hope for anything better.
I can see a slow (at first), but then accelerating slide into autocracy and the implementation of Trump's vengeance-driven personal agenda, followed by "a time of adjustment" that will look like - and will be sold to us as - "a sensible solution to the terrible problems wrought by that poor unfortunate sick man, who BTW just suddenly went a little nutty - nobody could've seen it coming".
And then we'll be onto whatever the plan is for the removal of the dastardly Trump and the installation of kindly President Vance, who will continue to dismantle the federal government, and sell off the pieces to the friends of his billionaire benefactors, and eventually rewrite the US Constitution according to Project 2025.
And what're we betting that they'll enlist the willing help of Democrats in the House and Senate to impeach and remove? That should give them all the leverage they need against Trump, but more importantly, it gives them some nice political cover because they can say that whatever horrible thing they've turned the US into, they had help from the Dems.
Welcome to the plutocracy
It won’t be slow
ReplyDeleteI think you may be right. They only have two years to wire the mid-terms. So that'll be a mission critical piece of it, even as they proceed with all their other fuckery.
