In Nazi Germany, individuals and families were indeed faced with excruciatingly difficult choices that could pit loyalty to family against conformity to the Nazi regime's ideology and demands.

Trump has not proven to be removing criminals. Just people in the fields, at the home improvement stores.

…. Why does UK have a DOGE team? Is this what American conservatives are exporting?
Shouldn’t there be a tariff?

Republicans start wars because their policies at home suck.
Trump sucks all way round….

Policy by social post. You’d think America would have disliked that the first term. He should be in jail.

From the Atlantic, points to Trump’s rhetoric is key to the rise in political violence.

From the Atlantic. More with what Martin said… but Klaas, a researcher on political violence, directly points to Trump’s rhetoric.

Rhetoric like from that “LEO” caused the killings - it should get him fired and fined out of his home.

Conservative terrorist would go to the protests today. There's gonna be tons of police there with their faces covered. If one police officer starts shooting, the rest will too. Trump’s gonna deputize the police as terrorists in the chaos.
Republicans created this mess.

“Police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
No masks for police or federal agents. They must identify themselves. They must have a warrant.
Remove qualified immunity.

California = U.S. credibility insurance policy
• CA alone is the 4th largest economy in the world
• It leads on climate, tech, global academic research, and exports
• Without California’s GDP and progressive diplomacy, the G6 would be seriously debating G6 permanence

G7 isn’t just about agreements, it’s about strategic cohesion.
• If the U.S. becomes the chaotic one in the group, it:
• Weakens trust in multilateral efforts
• Undermines USD as a stabilizing force
• Gives China room to exploit the disarray

Trump at the G7: Solo Table Edition
Imagine it:
• Macron, Trudeau, Scholz, Sunak, Kishida, and Meloni all huddled in a breakout session.
• Trump across the room with a Diet Coke, yelling “It’s not fair! We should tariff Canada’s water!”

If the U.S. wasn’t physically glued by California (4th largest economy in the world - because it’s a blue state), we’d be politely escorted out like an uncle who brought conspiracy pamphlets to Thanksgiving.

Result?
America’s trade positioning today is like:
A landlord who sold their own plumbing tools, outsourced the repairs, and is now mad that the plumber won’t work weekends. Or ICE - cosplaying j6ers, put them in jail for being legal migrants.

So now:
• We don’t manufacture enough
• We can’t afford major public investment
• We rely on China for critical materials
• And our diplomatic tools are reduced to tweets, tantrums, and tariff whiplash

And instead of:
• Saving the surplus
• Investing in modern infrastructure
• Educating a future-ready workforce
Conservatives doubled down on:
Debt, deregulation, and low taxes.

Reaganomics + Strong Dollar Policy:
• U.S. made USD the global benchmark = great for influence, horrible for domestic production.
• Strong dollar = cheap imports, so corporations offshored manufacturing.
That boosted:
• Consumer buying power
• Corporate profits
• But gutted industrial resilience
