      I mean, he wasn’t wrong here, but I don’t think fucking Matt Walsh knew more than any random person. He just wants to stir up shit to get attention.

      Have you seen any of the videos of him signing executive orders? He literally doesn’t have a goddamn clue. He’s just rubber stamping everything they put in front of his face.

        There’s a rumor that he doesn’t know how to read. He occasionally pantomimes reading, but he doesn’t actually do it. You’ll remember he made a big deal out of teleprompters and reading from scripts in the past. That’s a great way to flip his disability into strong-man rhetoric, isn’t it?

        Exactly. I’ve been saying it since 2016. Trump is just the face of the global corporate plutocracy seizing the means of democracy. Numerous corporations and oligarchs worked together to create the pseudo-libertarian conservative propaganda machine decades ago, and they are now leading this fascist revolution.

        Fascism is a fusion of the corporation and the state, and multinationals look at Chinas state capitalist monopolies with envy. That’s why every single one led them are bending the knee instantly. This is what they’ve been working towards for years. A democratic “will of the people” is the greatest threat to their wealth and power, and nation states are only thing with enough power to hold them accountable.

    I’m just shocked that people are shocked that they’re following the playbook they said they’d follow that for some reason nobody believed they’d actually follow.

    Like, they published the plan, in detail, in entirety. They said the were gonna do it. Then all the “adults in the room” said “nah that’s crazy they wouldn’t do that”. Then they did it, and the “adults” were shocked.

      Television and movies have conditioned people to believe that things have a way of just working out. I’m not kidding, I’m serious. This is a huge problem. People believe that nothing truly terrible can happen to them, and that when danger presents some force, god, America, luck, whatever, is going to swoop in and save them.

      I truly believe the American people believe this. Imo step 1 in saving America is convincing Americans that nobody is coming to save us, WE have to do the work and save ourselves. Until they put to rest the childish idea of an outside savior, they’re trapped.
