This is true. And mild compared to the chaos and violence that I believe will ensue starting in January 2025. Destruction of our social safety net and anything that accumulates greater wealth for the already wealthy is the end game. And they just don’t care at all what happens to Joe American.
We are in for turbulent times. I am writing about the elections, creating songs about it too. This is frightening to know we will not be able to trust our neighbors
But from my perspective, after hearing visa cases for 20 years, serving at one time on the BALCA board, the whole thing is a grift. Trump is a visa expert. Uses H 2B to being in temporary workers to his properties, to avoid paying locals. We have a temporary agricultural worker visa progran -- virtually all involved are MAGATs. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/h-2a-temporary-agricultural-workers
By rights, employers of illegals are supposed to be sanctioned. Trump was the poster boy -- had to pay a $2M fine plus make rrestitution when he was caught. Employer Sanctions Act, also known as the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, prohibits employers from hiring unauthorized workers in the United States.
Before deporting, will place them in concentration camps run by the private prison industry. He may/ may not get a cut.
IMHO Trump is a meglomaniac. Putin, in essence, crowned Trump twice. Like Putin, Trump will eventually grift the 150 billionaire donor families. Will try to steal the national treasury. Putin is Trump's model. May be the richest man in the world, richer than even Musk -- via theft. Trump is already invoking a third term -- dictator for life. Trump is planning Stalin type show trials.
Biden needs to grant tens of thousands of pardons, to try to keep us from being sent to the gulags.
Imagine complete privitization. Sale of all goveernment assets. Real estate. Intellectual property. Naming rights. Trump White House, literally. Musk space center. Bezos postal service.
Professor Robert Reich is hopeful that the chaos and pain will bring about a new progressive era once people see and feel and experience the consequences of tRump’s fascist regime.
My knowledge and experience with this use of the army against a civilian population is Northern Ireland. It was called "Internment". If you were a Catholic male that was all the British Army needed to consider you a terrorist. It was nothing on the scale that Trump and his cronies have planned but the devastation was the same.

Stalin and Hitler thrived on the snitch system. Nothing to fear from GestaPo or KGB - you could see them coming from a mile away. It’s the evil neighbor who wants your apartment for her sister.

Timothy Snyder writes about the fascist populace habit of neighbors denouncing neighbors.
Trump/Putin used psyops, hatred of "the other" to get elected. He did a few deprtations ans set up a program to "denaturalize" some cutizens, https://www.ilrc.org/sites/default/files/resources/trump_plan_strip_cit_from_1000s_americans-20190107.pdf

These are such illuminating stories, Fred.
We are seeing, in real time, the rewriting of history...as Morning Joe hosts rush to self-humiliation even before Trump's inauguration.
We all have agency...thousands of small acts add up.
What if millions stop watching MSNBC and CNN?
These are small acts of defiance that build muscle for larger fights.
We all have agency...choosing to do nothing (even refusing to stop watching cable news) is a choice.
Fred is on MSNBC.
I’m actually not.
