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.

    Fucking wild to me that, even when abandoning Palestine didn’t work and the post mortem showed it definitely hurt Harris’ turnout, libs are still doubling down on it and kicking the people affected by it in the face.

    But hey, maybe “shut up the rich people’s yacht fund economy is fine” will resonate more in 2028.

      When a topic is obviously at best zero sum ( trump’s position on Palestine will not improve thier lives/survival), it’s baffling that people aren’t ready to address crowning Mr anti abortion, anti immigrant, territorial annexer, foreign authoritarian appeaser, felon.

      People clearly said “meh the raids won’t come for me”, and never functionally cared about Palestine at all. It was performative. They will have zero advocacy lane with trump, where as Harris was minimal, but existing.

      No one gets to protest trump’s inauguration or actions if they didn’t take the functional steps to avoid him. if they did, see you there.

      Libs really aren’t doubling down on it. The people who have infiltrated the libs to keep the focus on smashing the democrats are focusing on it, as a distraction, so the United States crumbles and dies.

      Basically, the “woke” have been tricked into eating themselves, which is what we all though would happen to the right wing… but it turns out they are more strategic than we thought.

      Palestine is less than 1% of an issue

      You think that’s what decided the election you’re delusional
