Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

What emerges is a hybrid regime where corp wealth fuels political dominance & political dominance protects corp wealth. Regulation weakens, oversight disappears, & communities lose control of their own future. This is not freedom. It is extraction disguised as governance. #ChristianNationalism

The courts reinforced the corporate political structure. New justices rapidly reversed decades of precedent and favored state authority over community autonomy. When prosecutors or local officials pushed back, the system replaced them and the court validated the purge. #FloridaFascism

Redistricting locked the system in place. A governor vetoed legislative maps and substituted his own to dismantle a Black access district and tilt representation sharply toward one party. The result was 71 percent of congressional seats from roughly 50 percent of the vote.

The ghost candidate scandal exposed the machinery. Operatives tied to major utilities boosted fake independents to siphon votes in targeted districts. A race was decided by 32 votes while the ghost candidate pulled more than 6000. The payoff was a massive rate hike soon after.

Florida did not drift into one party control. It was redesigned through a corporate political partnership that fused industry power with state power. The shift was intentional, engineered, and funded by sectors that profit from weakened oversight. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy
