They always had a latent desire for fascism, but they were too cowardly and eager to fit in with their peers to explicitly demand fascism back when fascism wasn't socially acceptable. They were waiting for the right man to appear and openly say the things they were too afraid to say themselves

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

DOGE is a trojan horse to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If DOGE actually wanted to cut waste, it would end the massive tax loopholes, contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

Almost every political malaise in America stems from having enough of the basics that the populace has the luxury of ruminating about not having enough and in that process amplifying fringe issues. Of course the unscrupulous have a field day in such an environment

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy. Three main reasons the fire exploded: 1. Drought-like conditions 2. Very low relative humidity 3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph (Video by Stuart Palley)
