Count your lucky, lucky, lucky stars that these people are such idiots.
It doesn’t mean they are not dangerous. The Nazis were exactly the same type of hilarious buffoons, not good at anything, until all of a sudden it wasn’t funny anymore and the nightmare came to life, neverending. And the Trump people are doing a pretty good job speedrunning getting the camps up and running, they’ve already started on the undesirables and it’s working, and they’re building a huge number more as we speak.
But still, Jesus Christ. They could have had their pick of conservative sociopath lawyers hand-picked by Peter Thiel to whip shape into the DOJ and turn it on all the domestic opposition. They could have doubled military pay instantly, and had heartwarming rallies where they assured all the troops and all the cops that finally, with us in charge, you have someone on your side in government. It would have locked in their victory like a fucking armbar. Instead, they’re taking all these people whose support and agreement is vital to this thing really coming off without a hitch, and putting them into these moronic and hostile situations, literally every chance they get.
Think about it: You’re a career prosecutor, you’ve been busting your ass for decades in a high-stakes profession, and you’re successful at it. And then one day you walk in and your boss is Jeanine Pirro and she’s going to be taking over going forward.
Just think of how the interactions with her go in the workplace. Think of watching her fuck up important things, left and right, and that just being your new reality.
Jesus Christ man. We got lucky, a little bit, that it came in this form when it came. Their sheer moronitude has to be some kind of weakness.
But I’m not all optimistic. Take Peter Thiel. He tried after 2016 already and basically got kicked out of the MAGA admin for being too radical, but now he’s implanting his ilk as well as his strategies left and right. Arguably, appointing social media influencers was his idea. Right now I’m hoping that Trump lives a long, sufficiently healthy life, because he is the man that guarantees your vision.
I’ve said from the beginning that their virtuosic incompetence will be their eventually downfall. The problem is all the stuff they’ll break before their rampage ends.
When this is over, we need to rebuild a new world where their kind will be harshly dealt with. The next version of society will not tolerate psychopaths.
We don’t have to deal with them harshly. Ok, in the immediate sense, yes we do need to set an example with harsh consequences for those whoe enabled and are perpetuating the current and future atrocities of this regime.
When we rebuild, though, we don’t need to be harsh. We just need strong guardrails against allowing psychopathy to be the dominantly rewarded trait in our societies, aka scrap capitalism as the exploitative cancer it is and build circular and reciprocal economies.
I’m with you. I meant strong consequences for the immediate perpetrators of this criminal enterprise.
The future will be dealt with by imposing mandatory Critical Thinking Skills lessons in public schools. A population who knows how to think properly will be able to forestall uprisings by traitors.
At least the part about the doubling of the military salaries, they started. Not with the “old” military, but with the new forces, ICE. The increase in their budget is troubling, and the starting bonus and pay are shocking for a job that requires only loyalty as qualification.
How do you think a firefight between ICE and the National Guard would go?
That’s more my point. ICE can fuck up plenty of the helpless, and that might include you and me soon enough. But my point is that co-opting the forces that actually know what they’re doing is often a good accompaniment to that idea, and they’re not even making vague attempts at doing anything like that, they are doing the opposite.
