Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Yeah I think there's a lot of wishful thinking that Trump's followers disapprove of what's going on or are even aware of it. I see a little softening in his approval rating but not much.

It is not breaking, but it has shown itself to be far from immortal

aelkus.bsky.social•1 day ago

I will take that for now

Watch the polls and watch the pols

nunpigeon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah about those polls

jkuznicki.bsky.social•1 day ago

Polls are going to keep showing that everything is fine until it’s much too late.

proptermalone.bsky.social•1 day ago

“everything is fine” meaning you think Trump/GOP stay relatively buoyant?

jkuznicki.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m thinking about spontaneous violence against regime enemies. Everything will be fine… for most!

proptermalone.bsky.social•1 day ago

well, it’s not super happening yet. unfortunately have to wait and see on that one

Can't find it now but I read that Trump still polls extremely well among men. If that changes, we're getting somewhere.

Maybe USA should consider disenfranchising men.

yup in general if you can't trust your intuition look for other sources of information that you can trust and validate your intuition against

My intuition is that if Trump gives straight people a good enough excuse, we’re getting anti queer pogroms. Polling won’t tell us where or when they’re happening.

ducksfortheduckgod.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah I wish I had something more comforting to say but Trump's hold over the broader electorate breaking is not going to necessarily even discourage pogroms committed by the diehard cultists 😞

As a person living in the rectangular states region, it kinda feels right now like the czar is being failed? Anger is at Musk amongst those having their faces eaten by the leopards. Lots of “slow your roll, Trump will go back in & make sure only the correct people get hurt.”

honestly at this point Musk may be the bigger danger, incredible as it seems.

anyway one way or another those two wacky kids need to break up. If it takes encouraging MAGAheads to turn their wrath on Musk bc he's ruining it for Daddy Trump, do that shit.

To begin with.
