a tragedy here is that, the leeway this administration is exercising via executive authority to topple and wreck government services SHOULD be instructive to the blue MAGA ensorcelled voters who believed all the nonsense about supposed limitations to presidential power. there SHOULD be some gain in understanding when the sacred veil is torn apart publicly by a pack of wild boars.
but i have a feeling even the complete and unilateral destruction-by-decree of institutions created by legislation will be successfully memory holed as the dem leadership fight hard to restore CIA fronts and coup-plotting mechanisms while wearing kente cloth and having photo ops about the widespread social murder from the implosion of what child hunger and poverty programs still existed at the start of 2025.
The second Obama got into office the libs forgot everything Bush did. So, I wouldn't hold your breath.
I’m willing to bet that this plays out like the Cultural Revolution but with an American twist.
Elon’s Bazinga Guards will be given the highest authority to smash up the old system and create disruptions all over the country, the banishing of Federal Bureaucrats and DEI Academics to the countryside. And when the turmoil was at its peak, Trump will rein in the terror and cut the music, paving the way for the return of formerly exiled Bureaucrats to take charge of the reform, and the complete transition of the ruling party into a New Republican Party with Democratic characteristics, that will go on to win in a landslide in the 2028 election.
In other words, this is a Revolution within the American bourgeois class to resolve the internal contradictions of the American political system to prepare its transition to the next stage of Fascism.
Would you go so far as to call this “twist” “characteristics”?
