Even the most oppressive tyrants in history understood the concept of bread and circuses. Most people will stay complacent when their fundamental rights are being taken away as long as they have their distractions. Taking away the distractions is something you only do after you've fully consolidated your power. They're so obsessed with projecting an aura of oppressiveness that they've forgotten how to hold power.
I've been saying this for awhile; I think Trump wasn't supposed to win this term. He looked legit surprised when he won, and I think the Republicans were planning for four more years to really solidify their plans, and get more right wing gov'ts in power first (like Canada). Trump winning pushed everything up four years early, and made them basically have to speed-run to the goal. They went mask off so fast, and they're driving everything through before it would have been ideal. It's now or never.
IDK man, they were prepped that's what Project 2025 was, a plan.
Its just that they're also extremely fucking stupid.
He was surprised the first time as well.
I agree, this was always the plan. I think they had to kick it off sooner than they wanted. Ducks were almost in a row, one more term would have had it all mapped proper, and now they have to rush which makes them look stupid.
I am so thankful that our oppressors are morons.
That's because they WANT riots in the streets. Perfect reason to suspend the constitution and impose martial law. An orange turn needs his crown ya know.
Modern consumerism is singlehandedly a good enough distraction...
So what happens when the shelves at WalMart are empty?
