it really is government by a bunch of bull connors. basically walking into traps set for them by their opposition. connor also did not understand that beating the hell out of demonstrators was *what they wanted*

accelerationists (of any stripe) always think that after The Shit Hits the Fan, they’ll be the Monarch of Skull Mountain

but they’ll just be one of the skulls

not even one of the good skulls, just a bulk skull from somewhere in the middle

this is also like a big part of why the response to trump is so muted. america’s liberal elites believe their own ideology is decadent and degenerate. the most powerful democrat, a new yorker, filters his own thoughts through an imaginary long island irish cop family.

yes. this is one of the major weaknesses of an administration helmed by an indifferent and doddering old man and run by vicious ideologues. they are totally unresponsive to public conditions. also a sign that they are isolated from those republicans who are worried about elections
the Millers in the administration are operating on the idea that "politics" is actually irrelevant now that they control key levers of power. the show is not about getting people on board, but getting the public to feel a collapse of order. not sure how that gets them to dictatorship though.
