How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Remember Trump is using emergency legislation for the tariffs. So the measures that were urgent and necessary to meet that emergency have now suddenly become non-urgent and unnecessary. If US congress and courts properly held president to account for misuse of emergency powers, this would matter.

China's banning of the sale of Rare Earth Materials outside China, of which they produce 80% means that electronics now cannot be made outside of China. So either Americans go back to the Stone Age, or Donald Trump is going to have to cave to China.

Significant evidence suggests that anti-Tesla protests that encourage physical violence are being driven by bad actors aiming to accelerate violence and martial law. The public should engage in economic boycott and anti-Tesla information operations, but AVOID physical engagement.

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.
