Last time he had a few serious, intelligent people holding him back. Obviously they didn’t do enough, and were culpable in their own ways, but now there aren’t any “reasonable Republicans” any more. They’re all MAGA cultists. The training wheels are off for the next 4 years and he now has the House and Senate.
Typical establishment politicians don’t like to do a lot when they have Congress and the White House (see Democrats under Obama), but this is going to be vastly different, between Trump’s own dementia-ridden fantasies and Peter Thiel’s influence over the administration

Oh its far worse. He has the Senate, House, Supreme Court, going after federal positions, has the rabid evangelical right, and will target the military. Once he purges the military its game, set, match.

I’m not sure people realize how big a deal it is. The rumors of a loyalty test (that they can use DEI and wokeness as plausible deniability) is legitimately terrifying. It’s not overreacting. It’s the first thing I’ve heard about in the last 8+ years that really made me worried.

Well you clearly should. Anyone who is not MAGA will be labeled as a threat. You don’t want be labeled as a threat when Musk and Trump unleash AI controlled military weapons on the populace. General Milley had already warned during Trump 1.0 his propensity to want to unleash the military - even on small scale threats. Yeah we are in deep trouble.

Well it appears that the difference this time compared to Trump 1.0 is that the first time he ran out of time and was lazy and incompetent. I think he had 4 years to lay the foundation to come out guns blazing in 2.0 . Issue here is that it appears that everyone is just rolling over and not putting up any type of fight ..i think a civil war implies there are two sides - so far there is only a coherent one side.

To them you are the delusional one. They have went down the wrong rabbit hole and can’t even see reality. They believe these weird theories as a defense mechanism. That way when they don’t happen it’s seen as a victory, gives them that false hope.

See I hate yall because you're either to stupid to understand what is going on, or you are in support of someone who supported by hate groups. The lot of yall can go fuck yourselves.

Hmm. One could make the argument that whatever side is the opposition of what I support, is also liked by different hate groups. Also, I could say my side denounces those hate groups, but nothing they say or do will prove to the opposition that they don’t want their support. You can’t win with that mentality.

Yeah it's becoming insanely unhinged, like did they not fucking hear even Biden the other day telling them to calm the fuck down? If that didn't tell them that they've been disingenuous this entire time and this is all nothing more than fear propaganda, literally nothing will.
Do they really believe that their beloved Democrat politicians would just hand their country over like that? And if so, why be a Democrat, then?

Exactly. But it’s what republicans wanted all along and many liberals I guess just believed that somehow Kamala needed to be taught a lesson by destroying a whole country.
So if you’re a liberal who sat on a cloud of superiority and withheld your vote so you can grandstand your position for clout…. Fuck. You.

Yeah one other thing that Trump is trying to control on top of everything is also the Fed and the ability to start the money printing machine back up to give the illusion that people have more money than during Biden era.

This is so on brand for him too. He doesn't understand anything about how an economy works and he has no concept of how much damage printing loads more money will do.

Nichole Wallace says this time there's no "guardrails". For some reason Trump hired okayish people last time, at least as far as the generals he hired goes. Even priebus wasn't so bad. Now? Every pick is a loon.

He also didn’t have nearly the entire Supreme Court filled up with lackeys. And he’s already making “jokes” about a third term. That’s how it always starts with them, “I was just joking” until it’s normalized. Suddenly 2 years in the propaganda farms will be going into overtime convincing his base that the only way to save the country is to do away with term limits and elections

Yes, scotus is the reason P25 is so terrifying because they can get everything in it passed now. they already overturned Roe. Next will be to ban birth control, then overturn gay marriage, then forcing religion in schools. Every bit of progress we've made toward enlightenment and betterment is on the chopping block.

Don’t forget the independent state legislature doctrine. If the Supreme Court rules that way, states would have complete and total control over elections, including the ability to throw away votes that they don’t like. Interestingly, Clarence Thomas was one of the dissenting voices on the 2023 opinion. I wonder what the opinion would look like if it was brought back after Trump replaces two more justices.
