This is all on purpose. Trump is running Hitler’s playbook to seize power. He’s destroying the gov on purpose, to force some kind of crisis. Once the “crisis” comes, Congressional Republicans will give Trump “emergency powers” which he will use to get rid of any opposition.
It’s a generic nationalist, populist, and authoritarian playbook. We like to mention Hitler because he’s the worst of the worst to the Western mind, but there is a long list of awful authoritarians and tyrants who gained control of their country one way or the other by making the same promises, playing to the same fears, and dismantling limits on their behaviors.
Those chanterelles, tho.
Morels soon!
Unless you’re over 45-50 years old, it always been collapsing for as long as you’ve been alive - I’d pin Reagan as the beginning of the collapse, with citizens united accelerating it to the point that we’ve now got Der Furher leading the country.
