View submission: Trumpism, here to stay?

View parent comment

Do not underestimate Trump and the sinister group of highly intelligent and avariscious men astroturfing behind him. Trump did do a lot of things he promised his supporters, thus cementing their loyalty to him, and when he dies or needs to be replaced they will find another puppet to replace him. They have been planning and working for decades to take over everything, they've erroded trust in journalism, they've taken control of communication channels and tranformed them into tools of propaganda (Fox, Twitter/X, Facebook, Truth, etc.), they've massed small groups of fringe voters, and only now people are waking up to the disaster that's it in the making. People like the ones behind the tea party, new tea party, breitbart, cambridge analytica, people like Robert Murdoch, people like Roger Stone, people like Elon Musk, people like the ones behind heritage foundation, are as dangerous as Trump.

This has been in the making for decades. Trump is just the receptacle for the heritage foundation and federalist society. If they hadn’t had their Klan in so many powerful places he would have never made it past the first 6 months in office the first time let alone allowed to run again after committing fucking treason

Yeah, people are acting like we're at the beginning of fascism, but we aren't. This is the end result of something that's been growing for decades

I keep saying Trump is just the hood ornament but we don’t know all of the components of the car.

They are as dangerous but they don't have that special brand of crazy that he does.

Trump is an idiot but his users they are the dangerous one. They are evil smart and will use Trump like a drum to get their agenda. Trump doesn't care as long as he gets what he loves above all else, and that is money and power

Don’t forget the Koch brothers and their systematic undermining of the American education system. Within 3 months you have EU countries talking about building their own military up for defense and because of the instability of Trump. Trump strikes down Biden’s stay on sending Israel 2K lbs bombs. Trump makes declarations of war by threatening to take over Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal, and implementing strong tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

Instead of having his billionaire buddies move factories to Mexico and Central America to build their economies, thereby reducing illegal immigration and shipping costs for products made in China (and surprise Mr. Business, no need to threaten tariffs like a child with a gun).

This was never about religion or “moral correction”, this is about power and money and the Maggots just gave a megalomaniac a money machine and a loaded gun. This must be stopped by whatever means necessary or we’re on track for WW3 and this time I’m afraid we’ll be the bad guys!
