A president steeped in constitutional lore might have been offended by claims he’s acting as a king.

But Donald Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power.

    I think we need to accept the government wont come back from the shut down and Trump’s gonna have his picks on a private payroll and occupying government offices and positions in a new trumpistocracy. ICE will be moved into Pearl Harbor and Fort Bragg. Jan6 pedostache will be ur kids new teacher. Like a fucked up hermit crab that kills the owner of its new shell. It’s a full on coup going on as we speak right now.

      Lmao that would mean they have to restructure and actually run something from the ground up. Trump’s only talent is running stable situations into the ground. He bankrupted a casino. A casino. His version of fascism is about to fall on its face.

          The people pulling the strings are also stupid as fuck, just not borderline braindead like Trump. The only reason the fascists of the 1920s and 1940s were as stable as they were was because they got the nobility on their side, nobility who were on average well educated and generally functional. This modern crop are all dumber than shit and could probably be out thought by a sleep deprived high schooler running on caffeine and spite. The only reason they have made it this far is because the old guard who set them up to succeed did relatively well, but most of the old guard or dead or dying so what your left with is their braindead kids who would probably drink rubbing alcohol if they didn’t have ketamine.
