Summary

Itā€™s time to reengage with politics as Trump prepares to take office again.

Unlike 2017, Trump now has a more compliant establishment, streamlined strategies, and influential allies like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos.

Concerns include his administrationā€™s potential for sweeping authoritarian measures, such as Project 2025, and media normalization of his actions.

Vigilance is necessary to counter efforts to dismantle democratic institutions.

    Fucking wild to me that, even when abandoning Palestine didnā€™t work and the post mortem showed it definitely hurt Harrisā€™ turnout, libs are still doubling down on it and kicking the people affected by it in the face.

    But hey, maybe ā€œshut up the rich peopleā€™s yacht fund economy is fineā€ will resonate more in 2028.

      When a topic is obviously at best zero sum ( trumpā€™s position on Palestine will not improve thier lives/survival), itā€™s baffling that people arenā€™t ready to address crowning Mr anti abortion, anti immigrant, territorial annexer, foreign authoritarian appeaser, felon.

      People clearly said ā€œmeh the raids wonā€™t come for meā€, and never functionally cared about Palestine at all. It was performative. They will have zero advocacy lane with trump, where as Harris was minimal, but existing.

      No one gets to protest trumpā€™s inauguration or actions if they didnā€™t take the functional steps to avoid him. if they did, see you there.

      Libs really arenā€™t doubling down on it. The people who have infiltrated the libs to keep the focus on smashing the democrats are focusing on it, as a distraction, so the United States crumbles and dies.

      Basically, the ā€œwokeā€ have been tricked into eating themselves, which is what we all though would happen to the right wingā€¦ but it turns out they are more strategic than we thought.

      Palestine is less than 1% of an issue

      You think thatā€™s what decided the election youā€™re delusional
