    This is just the start. He’s going to purge every competent person who believes in the national mythology / shows an ounce of backbone and replace them with incompetent yes men. These people tend to be very intelligent, resourceful, and well-connected. I don’t think this will be the last we see of them. Something tells me that giving a whole lot of people who plotted the overthrows of multiple foreign governments lots of time off together maybe isn’t his most brilliant idea yet.

      Straight from the Project 2025 manual. It’s crazy that I tried to get people to read it before the election and I got called a conspiracy theorist, but here he is actually executing the plan and these same people just deny it’s happening. I can’t help but think they prefer to be ignorant.

        Unfortunately it’s always a conspiracy theory until it’s put into action. But by then it’s too late…

        It’s exactly like the Nazi problem. To most people they aren’t officially Nazis until we’re literally being shipped into death camps. Anything that happens before that is just “awkward waves” and “political disagreements.”

        :(

          I guarantee that they STILL won’t be Nazis to those people even then. There is ALWAYS an excuse.

        Welcome to 1930s Germany.

        A bunch of ignorant, uneducated people experiencing economic hardship that vote in a proto-authoritarian out of desperation because their minds were warped by propaganda and hatred.

        Expect things to get much worse.
