Summary

It’s time to reengage with politics as Trump prepares to take office again.

Unlike 2017, Trump now has a more compliant establishment, streamlined strategies, and influential allies like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos.

Concerns include his administration’s potential for sweeping authoritarian measures, such as Project 2025, and media normalization of his actions.

Vigilance is necessary to counter efforts to dismantle democratic institutions.

    Libs really aren’t doubling down on it. The people who have infiltrated the libs to keep the focus on smashing the democrats are focusing on it, as a distraction, so the United States crumbles and dies.

    Basically, the “woke” have been tricked into eating themselves, which is what we all though would happen to the right wing… but it turns out they are more strategic than we thought.

      Maybe you think I’m one of those. I think the Democratic Party is a spent force, and we should be organizing from the grass roots like Occupy and BLM, and like groups outside the US such as Podemos in Spain. Or we can instead spend our effort trying to overcome the inertia of the dead hand of the DNC. But I think that has as much likelihood of success as reanimating a long-buried corpse.
