Frankly if one were trying to weaken and degrade the global power and massive wealth of the US as much as possible… it would be hard to do a more thorough job so it’s either cluelessness… or sabotage.
If you were to ascribe anything resembling rationality to this administration's agenda
It would have to be rationality on the part of, errr, well
I'm not sure whether Trump is a witting Russian agent or just the most useful idiot of all time, but I'd like to find out
Not a bright future for us.
Will take several generations of turnover and a lot of luck to restore any sort of prosperous society

What are you afraid you might see if you opened your eyes?
We object to policies that declare that some people, aren’t people. That’s core MAGA values.
We also object to idiots destroying critical systems that support public health and technological innovation.
That’s MusKKK high on speed.
But Trump approval has a floor around 44-45% or so
And 44-45% approve of DOGE and cutting govt
Also seeing a lot of apathy across the board, people saying “both sides are the same” etc
They went +20 for Trump in the last election
Combine that with the cult and you have a high floor

Also, they know all of these people go onto become lifelong democrats. The want to crush them at the root
Lina Khan gets her own nukes.
Purge all MAGA from public institutions, especially military (dishonorably if there's any real political activity).
Abolish sheriffs. Military helps reassert civil control of cops.
Don’t know that anyone’s going to be in a position to Marshall Plan us though
Retribution and revenge
These are nihilists and nothing more
