Sign of things to come .... I'm not bothering to read that stupidity.
The next four years (and probably more beyond that) will just be never ending rage politics, nonsense, distraction, diversion and general stupidity while those in power get to do whatever they want in the background. There will be so much noise everywhere that very few if anyone will ever notice what is really happening in the country. Not notice of course until it's too late and too far gone for anyone to be able to fix it.
Whether it is worth reading or not, it is, I think, worth showing how quickly things are fracturing. I really didn't think it would start crashing down so quickly. They all hate each other, but I thought they would at least make it to the inauguration before they started getting the knives out.
Now you have a Lara Loomer camp and an Elon Musk camp and I don't know that this is going to be easily fixed.
And like I said, imagine what this is going to be like when Trump dies.
Loomer is disposable to the movement is how that will be fixed. She'll be on a stage next to Liz Cheney by next month.
I expect when he dies whoever takes power will start a witch hunt looking for foul play (regardless of cause of death) in an attempt to maintain the cult of personality, and maybe declare martial law.
The power struggle before that even happens will be very ugly.
I think it honestly could happen right away. Once he's in office why not deem him unfit and have Vance step up. Someone way easier to direct and message with.
Then they'd have jan 6 2.0, Gropenfuhrer is the cult leader still
Oh I agree, but do they care? Those people have served there purposes by putting Republicans in control of all branches of government, they don't need their support. And with an actual government response they could shut down another Jan 6 easily.
Things to come? Aren't we living this shit right now?
Both.
