The Trumpists won’t be able to implement everything they have planned exactly as they have planned it. But they are better prepared and in a far better position overall than they were in 2017.

More malevolent, less incompetent, with a weaker system to oppose them.

We need to watch things he does that he never talked about doing. Things he promised that he gives up on, hides things he does in the shadows which are likely more dangerous.

In other words:
Project 2025

Let’s decide on a tight focused vocabulary to describe the Trump Administration actions. Own the narrative with quick sound bits easily identifiable by the general public.

theglobalvc.bsky.social•225 days ago

Fewer (any) sane people in his administration this time. “It will be wild!” takes on a whole new meaning.

timkrauss.bsky.social•225 days ago

Our only saving grace is that they are incompetent and also mentally deranged, so it's hard for them to get all their Evil Deeds done

Over my dead body

Where does Vance fit in? I think he n his "team" will let Trump implode

vjm4democracy.bsky.social•225 days ago

The only part I’m not sure about is the “less incompetent”.

abyssbuddy.bsky.social•225 days ago

That's what many who voted for him say...I hope they and you are right.

rrand0mm.bsky.social•225 days ago

I think Biden has also had time to prepare as well. He better spend the next 60 days figuring it out. Somehow, someway. As many roadblocks or spike strips as possible.

lazuruslong.bsky.social•225 days ago

Can we send all the trumpers to Ukraine to rebuild their country and bring Ukrainians here. I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE THEM AS NEIGHBORS,and Trump gets his dictator status. J/k but it makes as much sense as what he's doing, right?

riverpine.bsky.social•224 days ago

And nothing to lose. Trump ran to avoid prison , now he’s won. May as well throw a maga party on the USA.

walkonsticks.bsky.social•224 days ago

The next two years will be decisive on just how far down the rabbit hole America goes!

daveon.bsky.social•225 days ago

The only upside (and it’s not really ‘up’) I have is that chunks of what they want to do contradict other bits or require huge skills and focus over years to deliver if they can even we done at all.

The trouble is all the stuff they can do :(

killerb.bsky.social•225 days ago

With Gabbard, RFK, Gaetz, and Hegseth, the less incompetent part is debatable. But they weren't picked for their competence. They were picked for their zealotry and willingness to do the wrong thing just to spite enemies of the regime. That makes them far more dangerous.

chefjoel.bsky.social•225 days ago

The less incompetent part seems debatable lol

goldiek.bsky.social•224 days ago

Ikr!!!!

greg29.bsky.social•225 days ago

That's what is so frightening

mrteamster.bsky.social•225 days ago

And an heir living in the Vice President’s residence.

💯

heavysigh24.bsky.social•225 days ago

Well, that was depressing. I still hope the infighting will help us survive

disgruntledghoulie.bsky.social•224 days ago

The damage will be permanent.

I think it’s cute how they think Trump will outlive his term. 🤣

aumakuahonu.bsky.social•225 days ago

a lot of us are watching the internal power struggles of the former ostracized Bannon alt right target whom they label “ccp tech globalists” .. that would include Musk, Thiel, et al so wondering how long trump’s admin can sustain

faithlessgrace.bsky.social•225 days ago

Bannon was only useful to him to strategize/manipulate his first win and install Manifort. Broligarchs will eventually triumph and stabilize because 1)greed and 2)the insidious tech infrastructure to dominate all aspects of daily life.

aumakuahonu.bsky.social•225 days ago

Bannon (and his followers) still has immense international influence among the old alt right .. tho he was just released from "jail" .. the internal friction w/in the far right is beyond Trump

faithlessgrace.bsky.social•224 days ago

Interesting times, right? 😑

aumakuahonu.bsky.social•224 days ago

unfortunately…but here’s hoping they implode 😃

pamelaporter.bsky.social•225 days ago

More malevolent, yes, but IMO, not less incompetent, at least as far as appointments announced so far.

dageezer.bsky.social•225 days ago

The guardrails have disappeared, and the new appointees should have training wheels, which are sorely missing. Burn while they learn time for the U.S.

paolodelosrios.bsky.social•225 days ago

Less incompetent for the job they get, I do not know; less incompetent for what they want to achieve, likely.
But I am pretty confident they do not foresee all the consequences of their actions.

doctt.bsky.social•225 days ago

Re: conflicts: Musk & Vivek both want control. Bobert is IN but MTG & Loomer are out. All are insecure & ridiculed as kids. It feeds sniping to cozy up to Trump. They will consume each other like Sadaams family & inner circle did with minimal push. Kennedy is wierdo = red herring

susansp4.bsky.social•224 days ago

Musk can buy and sell all of them. Trump will always acquiesce to the one who can line his pockets - whether real or imagined. Trump is a basic bitch looking to actually be wealthy instead of just playing one.

daveon.bsky.social•225 days ago

As long as Trump lives they will hold it together. Post Trump it’ll be like Rome at the end of the republic.

Beware! When the cruel and corrupt Republicans take over Congress in January 2025 they will immediately attempt to decimate and destroy Medicaid, the ACA, social programs and the economic safety net in order to give massive tax cuts to the selfish wealthy and greedy corporations. Shameful and vile!
