Sometimes you don’t realize you have passed the point of no return until after the fact. Can we claw our way back? Yes. But it’s harder to build than to destroy. djt’s lizard brain knows that and so does the mental case with the chainsaw.

Great piece. I am reminded of this scene from Cabaret.

A number of my friends and family say that their lives don't change much no matter who is in office. I think they are going to find out that isn't the case now.

How do you boil a frog?

It is an excellent piece, but based on my impressionistic reading of this year’s polling, I kind of feel like a lot of Americans do know what’s going on. The problem is that many of them like it, or prize loyalty to Trump/Elon over disliking it.

Excellent piece. Thank you.

Was this pre-written back in January or something because this is bullshit, things are on fire so badly that the normies are already raising hell over it. There is no normalization or some sort of boiling frog situation, things are literally breaking down and people are seeing it!

It has been five weeks and they have accomplished a lot. Loyalists in the military, the weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI, the nominees in place, the J6ers are now a private militia. DOGE is using mass firings and fund freezes. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.🎵
