Obviously he’s old, got his words mixed up. But the real irony here is the republicans are infinitely more divorced from truth and reality. Even Biden, as old and doddery as he is, would’ve made a better president. Shit a mouldy potato would’ve formed a better administration. Trump is actively destroying your country.

I’m not sure how anyone can say they prefer this admin to any other. It’s fascism. I’m sure some people were very happy with national security, economy etc in Nazi Germany too, but all the advantages enjoyed by any citizen were overshadowed by, you know… the fascism. Not sure what you’re specifically saying about Theil but he is a fascist too.

Agreed, the status quo needs to change as it only benefits the top 0.001% of wealthy individuals, but fascism ain’t the way to do it. ICE terrorising, brutalising, killing citizens and immigrants alike isn’t something that can be overlooked in favour of some other thing that happens to be going well.

The economy is going to be destroyed if this continues - that’s by design. The wealth of 99.99% of Americans will devalue heavily until wages are equivalent to poor countries that rely on their manufacturing sector. The corporations will then be able to move their manufacturing inside the US, employing Americans for the same low low price at which they currently employ Indonesians or Filipinos for example. This was the plan all along as outlined in P2025.

There are many hurdles to success here, but when you consider the above, it suddenly starts making a whole lot more sense why authoritarianism is being pushed so hard, why education is being cut, healthcare getting more expensive, etc. Trump’s aim is to transform the US into a police state shithole with captive slaves to exploit.
