They've been kicking and screaming about it since trump 1.0... always asking, can we get our guns now? Can we shoot them now? They're clamping at the bit to be turned loose on everything not MAGA. Trump has always pushed this model... he's always stoked the worst possible in men to spew forth. You don't think he wants voter rolls just to check off a few names, do you? He's gonna find out who's Republican and who's not, and then he and his goons are gonna come after those that aren't. You might still have elections, but they'll be Russian-type elections; not anything resembling what we've had in our country for 250 years. Wanna run as a Democrat for some position? Ya better have good security, cause they'll be gunning for anyone calling themselves such a thing.

I'm going NUTS with this feeling inside that something huge is going to burst forth... and soon. It'll bury us, and I can't get a handle on what it is... but I do know trump's got ALL OUR money, and he's got all kinds of plans he's thought about through the years, as well as ideas, plans, and horrible schemes from people like Stephen Miller. He also knows time is running short for him to get things done the way he wants them - especially in ensuring he leaves the country to his family to rule from his death onwards. A true family dynasty. And all the money is theirs. (SMDH) trump forever and ever, amen is how he sees it. I feel the same sense of foreboding now that I did prior to SCOTUS killing women's autonomy. And again, everyone seems to be in disbelief that anything like that can happen here. In other countries, sure... Slavic nations, Latino nations, African nations... but never someplace like the USA. Just look at how many different paths to getting the SAVE Act passed he's got going on right now. There's not only the SAVE America Act, itself (which even most R's won't for), but he's gotten the meat of it written in the NDAA... and now there's a $95 billion budget extra for that Resolution 3.0 that R's think they can pass without any Dem help... and it's even written in there... along with more money for Iran and (ha ha!) Farmers. Like Farmers will see anything much come out of trump that's good. It CAN and WILL happen here unless we can figure out a way around it. And now I"m at a loss... how DO you fight against it when everything he does zeroes in on what you absolutely do NOT want, and he's using your money to do it?! As I read yesterday, we now have garbage trucks doing AI surveillance on neighborhood care, among other things, no doubt. I just discovered 10 of those Flock cameras covering the path to my local grocery store. OK... I'm an old person and I like to be left alone, for the most part. But I've never wanted to spied on... young or old... and especially when they'll arrest you for holding a piece of broken paint, or throwing a sandwich. Ridiculous is beyond what it is now, IMO. WE are the enemy trump and other R's have wanted to get rid of since the 1960's or earlier. They're just making their moves out in public now... YMMV, of course.
