At this point they’re actively hostile to all American Institutions that keeps them in check and are also actively hostile to the population itself. Trump’s previous Term was comparatively tame and even if he won in 2020 it would’ve been tamer than this. This is pretty much war being waged against the working class by the rich.

Do these people believe that they’ll be able to assert total control of all government institutions by 2028? Or is it some form of fascist self destruction ritual? Because right now even the chuds are having second thoughts about their party.

    Yeah it was the case in 2016 also that Trump just listens to the last person he’s talked to. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bessent comes out on top. I’ve already seen him portrayed as “the adult in the room,” especially after this recent spat with Musk.

    Any idea what wing he represents? I know he worked for a hedge fund. I don’t think of him as one of the Thiel-backed tech bros though
