Genuinely think the intent is to make conditions so unbearable within the empire so he can round up the coming storm to push forward the most violent shit possible.

manufacturing bad conditions to manipulate the backlash is certainly an idea, i'm not sure it works when you scream from the rooftops that it's your project and what ever happens will be your fault.

there's no fallguy, there's no possible fallguy, he's branded the tarriffs as his idea from here to kingdom come. how could even the historically unintellectual yankee people possibly misdirect their ire?

Yea he kinda got rid of all the scapegoats he could use. Immigrants are getting deported, every country is tariffed, DEI is "gone". What else is there to blame?

There's always more undocumented immigrants. His porgoms have been to embolden business owners to cut conditions for immigrants to save money. People will still cross the border to provide for their families as long as the dollar is strong. If it becomes more dangerous, the value of "protection" from ICE increases and is further deducted from their pay.
