I honestly don't think there's a strategy here outside of doing like a supergroup of the dumbest people on the planet.

This is the farce. I do not believe any of these people are capable of the sort of calculating thought needed to enact their wish list of policies in any way that actually matters.

It's literally just to get the hogs squealing and to own the libs. Trump's effectively doing a TV show

I understand the ableist connotations of the phrase but the inmates really are running the asylum. The people in power now are not the ones cynically peddling the protocols of the elders of zion, now a whole generation of true believers are taking the helm. Shit is gonna be real bad folks.

I get that they truly believe this shit, I just don't see them being able to hold the helm of this ship for very long before crashing it directly into the rocks in a spectacular fashion

I do think they will try to get their wishlist, I just do not believe they will in a way that matters and will be able to enforce it lol. Like yeah they got "voted" in, but the fervor is not there in the masses like would be needed for actual factual sparkling fascism to take hold.

I think we're in the farce

Edit: at least that's what is publicly facing us. If there's some actual ideologues behind the scenes using this, that's another story. I don't see Trump willingly being used as a mascot like that, but maybe they found a way to tame him idk

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
