I’d be shocked if Trump is even president/alive still when America goes full mask-off fascist.
That’s not necessarily my position. I mean yeah, chances are good you’re right, but while things will escalate slowly at first, they’ll ramp up over time. The more their power is secure, the more americans segregate into a few (but populous) blue states and many (but empty) red states, the more the senate will gain power, the more positions in the bureaucracy, executive and judiciary they have secured, the bigger their overstepping is going to be and the faster shit’ll escalate.
And it’ll feel overwhelming and like too much happening at once the whole time. They’ll drain resistance by basically DDOSing the system, too many things to take care of, too many garbage fires at once and all the time the media is going to jump from one new development to the next, never following up on things, never allowing for a breather.
Man it’s going to be so much shit to shovel… and we’ll have elections in Germany too soon with a likely right wing government of Trump fans getting elected. I just want to cry.
You’re right, it will be a slow setup then a sudden overwhelming deluge, if not in two years then in four. That’s project 2025’s whole thing. It all really just depends on how much GOP incompetence and in-fighting delays their plans.
My comment about Trump was more aimed at the fact that he is an old man in seemingly poor health who doesn’t even really like being president beyond the power trip and ego boost. His main motivation for running again was to avoid legal consequences for the corruption of his first term. If he doesn’t die within the next four years my money is on him being forced to step down and pardoned by Vance
