Trump's Second Term

It's a state of war, they are desperate for one.

U.S. War Minister Hegseth:

"We are not preparing for a period of peace; instead, we are shifting the Pentagon and the military-industrial base into an actual state of war.

"The moment feels like 1939—or, I hope, 1981. Enemies are gathering, and threats are mounting. You feel it. And I feel it."

I've been saying it for a while now: Regality theory

People will show a psychological preference for a strong leader and strict discipline if they live in a society full of conflict and danger, while people in a peaceful and safe environment will prefer an egalitarian and tolerant culture, according to this theory.

To further fascism there has to be an enemy, so they create them. Internal and external, real and imaginary.

1981? Because Saint Ronald took office?

Insurrectionists

Stephen Miller: “Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Obama, Monaco all conspired together…to sabotage the democratic institutions of this country.

I cannot find words harsh enough to condemn the conduct of these conspirators, these insurrectionists

I dunno. Everything was going pretty well with only a few bumps until you and Trump showed up, Nosferatu.

Except it really wasn't. Trump and co. just represent the point that the USA fell off the cliff it had been heading towards for years.

Not a cult

Sean Duffy: "Can I make one other point about the president before we're out of time? I have never seen someone work so hard. All day long he's moving, he's meeting, he's thinking. Then he goes into dinner, and dinners he's usually meeting with people. And then at night he's still on the phone calling people! He doesn't stop. He's a machine."

May I remind people that Duffy has done exactly one thing as transport secretary, viz rehang a very offensive picture of Jesus on a wall.

Jesse Watters: We don't need friends. If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland. We’re big boys. We dropped a-bombs on Japan and now they are our ally… America is not handcuffed by history.

Attacking an enemy. That's basically the same as stealing from a friend, right?

Give it 80 years and our allies will have got over it. Or if they haven't, well, who cares?
