"Harder than he thought" is the go-to excuse whenever #trump fails due to his own incompetence. Remember the healthcare plan he was going to unveil "in a few months" since 2016?

"J6 Prison Choir to Perform at Kennedy Center"

The #USA is currently in the stage of "Dear Leader dictates the performance of government-sanctioned art for the revolutionaries" of #authoritarianism.

Americans are really willing to pay any price in order to have the camps for detaining and torturing of "illegal immigrants".

> Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong.

Every so often when I pointed to articles about the #BadEconomy I often got some Internet economist wannabe, online pundit, or other "operative" mewling "how dare you? the numbers are fine." My answer, after blocking them is they are often asking the wrong questions and the wrong people.

But as I also often say, unlike those people, I am not a pundit nor play one on TV.

How long can it hold?

In a few months' time, Trump should be able to completely fill the vacancies at all levels of the judicial system with his loyalists.

It's clear that when the coup is unfolding, Americans remain indifferent. Of course, some are very vocal on a few independent online platforms. But the majority of Americans will support Fascism no matter what because they want to see the poors being punished and camps are filled.

Gilead wasn’t built in a day. Neither was Trump’s authoritarian hellscape. LGBTQ+ erased, abortion banned, dissent crushed. If you’re not on board with Christian nationalism, you’re the enemy. Don’t wait—ESCAPE. #TheHandmaidsTale #ThisIsAmerica

George Carlin said it best…If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to have selfish, ignorant leaders

It would be a shame if this Washington Post censored cartoon would be out and about in the world. The artist is Ann Telnaes.
