Class civil war being instigated by wealthy oligarchs who don’t really care how it happens, but they’re intent on bringing about a coup one way or another. So they amp up the chaos and division and will look to take advantage of it. Right-wingers are being fed a bunch of bullshit and they’re trying to deify Trump, one of the worst examples of a human being in history, and getting pushed to violence to protect a living piece of excrement.
The Justice Dept really needed to come down harder on Trump and everyone else involved in Jan. 6. They showed their cards then and what they’ve been planning all along, we shouldn’t gave given them a second chance.
I doubt the oligarchs really want a civil war. A civil war would shrink their labor force.
The oligarchs don't want a civil war; they fear it! But they are losing control.
The wealthy instigate the entire culture war and manufacture the propaganda behind it. The wealthy even plan to leave the country for us to kill each other.
At the risk of sounding like a fascist-fucc-boi, I don't see any evidence to backing the claims that this is an engineered crisis. I don't doubt it, but making claims like that without evidence and strong linkages is exactly what the right does.
I would suspect that even if it is an engineered crisis, it's not our own wealthy class doing the engineering. They can have what they want in a more stable way by not having this nonsense happen. It's not like the democrats are suddenly going to actually start making their lives notably harder. In fact, a lot of the 'MAGA' is stuff they would not want (high tariffs when they want to import cheap and sell high instead, abusing immigrants by detaining and deporting instead of abusing them by making them be a cheap labor source afraid to exercise any rights they might have for fear of getting deported).
Foreign interests are about the only ones that stand to gain from this sort of instability.
I’ll just go to the evidence tree where they leave confessions to everything they do. I’m sure they’ll leave a nice summary wrapped in a bow for you.
Or you could read a summary of project 2025
I don't get why you're being so hostile, when I just asked a question. 'just google it, bro' is the refrain of every Monster Energy slinging, tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist out there.
I will google project 2025, though I doubt I'll find anything of value; much like any response to this comment you might make.
If you don’t know what project 2025 is you’re either embarrassingly uninformed of intentionally ignorant
Not fast enough.
Merrick Garland was a huge mistake.
