I totally agree with you. Trump wants and plans to be a dictator and to me, that is clear as a bell. The question the becomes "will the Republicans in the House, in the Senate, and in the Supreme Court allow him to do that. That is a question that I have no answer for at this time.
As long as those weasel Republicans in Congress feel that proxy Potus Musk and his trained chimp Trump still have the backing of his MAGAt cult they'll continue to defy their oaths of office and continue rubber stamping the current radical, fascist deconstruction of our democratic republic.
Vladimir Putin is very proud right now.
However I believe it is only a matter of time before these incompetent and capricious policies start affecting even the MAGAt base negatively.
Most of these cultists are just fine with a fascist dictator as long as they believe he's on their "side" and his policy (or more like lack of it) is only going to negatively affect their "enemies"....liberals, LGBTQ folk, government workers, scientists, teachers, intelligent learned folks at universities, global democratic instutions, and so on.
Things that they don't really understand.
When the coin flips (as it always does) and they start realizing that President Elon and his chimp were really NEVER their friends.....and they start seeing the results of what they've uleashed cutting into their own pocketbooks and they find themselves suffering from this dysfunctional culture they've created, they will rebel.
We saw it right off the bat with the funding freeze. Republican Senators complained their phones were burning up with frantic, pissed off red state constituents going "what the ****? This isn't supposed to be cutting off money thst WE need!"
Fortunately for Musk/Trump the court put a stay on that particular freeze and the money started flowing again but it's only a matter of time before Elon and his chimp paint themselves into a corner they can't get out of.
This time next year Republicans are going to be caring more about midterm elections than being Musk/Trump lapdogs.
If by then these policies are no longer popular with the base the knives are going to come out.
It'll be a bloodbath.
Impeachment #3 could be a real possibility with a REAL conviction this time.
This country right now, is totally different to what it has been the last 80 years. I don't recognize it and I don't know what is coming.
It's a pendulum swing. An age of liberalism was spawned by the horrors of WWII after the world got a good look at the end result of the rise of strongmen fascist dictators like Elon's trained chimp. The weaklings who empower them never really went away though. They just retreated to the dark, musty baseboards like cockroaches.
Then when the conditions were ripe, they've come out again.....renamed MAGAts.....but it's the same shit different name.
They are the same as Hitler's Nazi Party.
And take heart, we know what's coming.
Ultimately they lose.
The only difference between Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler is that at least Hitler knew when to go ahead and blow his own ******* brains out.
It is like nothing I ever thought could happen to my country. Then again, the whole world is heading down the drain.
Yep.
Just like pre WWII here we are again on the wrong side of the pendulum swing.
