Remember how Rump talked about getting rid of the "deep state"? He was talking about all the civil servants that kept things working for the average American. Look at the thousands of people Musk's teenagers have fired because they weren't suffiently loyal to the king

Great piece Jack. Too many do not think things are as bad as they are. When you try to explain they have a hard time believing you. I just hope they wake up. I keep forwarding article from substack for them to read with out standing in their face saying" don't you get this???"

I know.... when I said to a friend recently that if they weren't scared or at least, concerned, they teased me saying I sound like one those old time conspiracy theorist...paranoid, alarmist, etc. I now check myself and engage with the writers I follow on Substack and the engaging commenters. I don't like this version of myself and try not to fall into rabbit holes, but damn, the times are definitely a'changing.

We are not alarmist...We are following truth and hoot survive. Don't give up...

Everything... EVERYTHING that has happened since Shitler took office this time is directly from the authoritarian playbook. Remember that he has a copy of Mein Kampf on his nightstand. Now... He has never read a single word of the Bible, but I guarantee he knows that Hitler diary word for word.

And Jack, I will say it's probable that more than half of the country hates him and more than half of the people who voted for him regret it.

Hi Libbey D, I wonder what the 40% of eligible voters who never bothered to vote think. I wonder if they even know the atmosphere, in the country that was once known as the leader of the free world, has been critically damaged.

The girl that lives above us is an addict and not registered to vote. When I talk to her about what trump is doing, she is not phased by it. Mostly because none of it affects her because she is extremely enabled by her family. She has no financial responsibilities and her "habits" are fully funded.

I also have neighbors that keep their heads buried. They won't do or say anything until it affects them directly. I honestly wish I had that luxury.

Libbey D: Speechless R me. Unknowingly, they have rolled out the red carpet for the current president to abuse us, as the current president did for Putin to abuse him. Both were foreseeable!

Have tried multiple times to restack past few days. About 80% failure rate.

Absolutely the truth! I knew as soon as components of the Big Ugly were released and the huge funding allocated to ICE, what the true intent was. It's not about borders. It's not about security. It's about intimidation, thuggery, and repression. Thanks for the details, Jack. May we all stand strong together.

Thanks Jack for this, as usual, spot on post. I’ve read enough history books, watched documentaries and televised news programs to recognize a secret police when one surfaces. When djt pardoned the J6’ers I knew they’d be his private army. Many other men who share the same Christian nationalist ideology joined up as well.

I look forward to your future posts. What djt is doing can’t continue.💙🇺🇸
