Summary

It’s time to reengage with politics as Trump prepares to take office again.

Unlike 2017, Trump now has a more compliant establishment, streamlined strategies, and influential allies like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos.

Concerns include his administration’s potential for sweeping authoritarian measures, such as Project 2025, and media normalization of his actions.

Vigilance is necessary to counter efforts to dismantle democratic institutions.

    Since 2015 I’ve been yelling at the clouds in warning but people have this keen knack for hallucinating their versions of reality and being willfully ignorant. Even, and especially, in times like these.

    Below is a series of screenshots of a conversation from j6. I watched on pbs, knowing what would happen, telling people what would happen, yet still watching it happen and still people chose to be blind.

    I knew this person for 40 years.

    I do not speak to them anymore.

      Your friend may be crazy, I don’t know, but it seems pretty clear to me that he was not interested in having the discussion you forced on him. Discussion is a generous term too. You were link spamming and steamrolling them at every opportunity. People don’t enjoy being spoken to that way.
