Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

Texas is back to using its 2025 congressional map, at least temporarily, after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito granted the state’s request to pause a court ruling that would have required using the lines legislators drew in 2021.

The sedition and treason rhetoric adds a political escalation layer. Casting opponents as traitors shifts the emotional baseline from disagreement to existential threat. Once people accept the idea of enemies everywhere, any action becomes justified.

The “tax white people” storyline became the anchor because it hits racial identity, grievance, and fear. By pushing the same moment across dozens of influencers, the ecosystem hard codes the idea that Democrats are targeting white communities. This is narrative engineering.
