This whole week and what we know is coming down the pipes with the tariffs has made me wonder if they’re trying to speed run a mob erecting a guillotine on the Whitehouse lawn. Everything is about to get insanely expensive, they’re kicking in doors and abducting kids from schools, cutting funds to stuff like meals on wheels and a shit ton of programs that supply mental health meds, stripping rights… They’re pissing off a lot more people a lot faster than his first term imo.
Like, do they think they’ll be able to hold onto power when the rug gets pulled even from middle income sycophants? If a chud with a small arsenal suddenly can’t get his jalapeno poppers because nobody picks the food… And he can’t even afford the food anymore because his jetski sealership is going out of business…
Ruling elites get away with things like this in countries where the population has largely never known the level of comfort and privilege that we experience in the core of the empire.
The architects of Project 2025 want to turn the US into a nightmare reality and some of them want to do so at warp speed. But even for them - Trump’s actions are out of control. If you want to commit horrible acts - a simple way is to proceed slowly. You boil the frog. People get fucked before they realize it. Destroying stuff like healthcare programs as fast as possible makes no sense to me. And not only do people know they’re getting fucked - they can go insane with rage and hate at the people who fucked them.
Trump is like just like Dubya. He doesn’t want to plan or think but he sure as fuck wants to be the decider. I don’t think there’s any grand plan by Trump. I think Elon finagled his way into a room with Trump at just the right time. And Elon whispered in his ear something simple like “Freeze OMB money immediately and we - I mean you can avoid congress and control trillions.” Or maybe some Project 2025 absolute nutjob did the whispering. In any case - on total impulse with no thinking whatsoever Trump did what the last person in the room told him he could do to be strong and powerful.
