Yesterday, I asked whether for Trump, cruelty is the point or it's much worse. "We stand at a place where it is important to know if the man with nuclear codes has a depraved mind or simply a damaged one."
I received many responses, but have been waiting for @gtconway.bsky.social to weigh in...

He's the policy expert on nuclear war/deterrence.
That's who Trump IS.
We are heading straight for another Aktion T4. Please look into that and GET AHEAD OF IT, if you can. Please don't wait until ppl

Bellow is my perspective.
Thank you for all you and the team are doing!

He is trying to rule this country- he is testing every guardrail that’s in place.
He wants another term maybe 2- I hope you all have seen this
The danger is the people AROUND HIM who do have malicious intent
He ran simply to avoid prison
In order to win he had to sign a deal with the real devils - from Thiel/Musk/Vance on one side, to Miller/Homan/Vaught on the other
He is their vessel to tear it all down and he simply doesn’t care - he’s free 🤷🏼♂️
He lived in NYC, knew mobsters in 80's and 90's. Knew the 'bathrobe mobster'.
Music looking like a kook.All of it.Part of the plan. Hate, anger, a persecution complex, overblown ego,no love or empathy outside himself. It’s what guides him.
THAT boastful comment sums him up.
He will go further and further only until he is stopped,
A legend in his own mind without a mandate.

In addition I am not sure he is literate. Or he needs readers but is too ashamed to wear them. He’s signing orders he hasn’t read.

Kleptocracy=strategic criminal behavior as a collective gov't using wealth to perpetuate power.Kakistocracy=weak,unvirtuous political system. Together=Criminal Incompetence feeding off of each other.
He has militias ready to go on his word.
Apparently, the only book anyone knows that he has read is about Hitler, and he appears to be a fan.
The warning signs are all there for huge scope and willing to escalate to that same extreme.
And following you.
Bought and paid for
Republicans.
Bought and paid for.
Supreme Court.
Bought and paid for.
An economically violent transition.
My God, this path we are headed down is not only uncertain, it's quite possibly the end of an era and the dawning of something much darker.
initially I wanted to understand why so many Americans chose him
now that doesn’t matter, evil begets evil. They rejoice in cruelty.
They will burn the US and even the world for a laugh and a few bucks.
The moment Vance was even in the running I knew he'd be the choice; he was a Machiavelli running against oafish pols who didn't even realize they were at war.
In 1989, he took out an entire page ad in the NYT in favor of re-establishing the death penalty after five teens were wrongfully convicted of rape and attempted murder. He spent an est. $89k to do so.
The boys were exonerated in 2002.
I can think this out loud because I'm nobody of importance.
And I've seen everyone else saying, "We need to figure this out." for a long time.
The results are: Trump won.
He's doing exactly what XI and Putin want him to do, destroy America.
It's not an accident. It is deliberate.
It's a coup.
He's putting in people loyal ONLY to him in the DOJ and Defense.
The question is will the military support him or the Constitution.
Trump is definitely rethinking Putin.
He spews a lot of things, almost none of it based on reality.
Kinda like the three ANP defectors with Hegseths nomination, who voted against him knowing he'd pass anyway. He's just playing the game.
Trump is a malignant narcissist who is controlled by purely evil men. As long as he's receiving the praise his soul requires, he is willing to sign whatever they put in front of him. Consequences aren't a consideration.
Or a corrosive personality.
His henchmen are more insane
Than before, but with more capability.
The question is what guardrails remain
To protect our democracy,
Seeing none, I fear refrain
Of economic crisis, violence: autocracy
All attempt to stop it in vain.
And here is the worst part - chalenging leads to SCOTUS where there is every likelihood they will allow this.
Trump is the ultimate envelope-pusher who wouldn't stop until stopped
The point of this administration isn't to govern, it's to destroy the Republic and rule an Empire
The only difference is Hitler had guts.

CrueIty is just a subset of "much worse." It's all a means to the same end.
@sethabramson.bsky.social work on Musk, he not only has Nazi tendencies, but we wants to create a New World Order where elitist white people would control the world with Musk at the top of the pyramid. That is why there was the picture of him looking at Trump
