With parallels to U.S. politics, the Arab Spring lead to an angry, conservative base ready to make Egypt great again with the extremist 2012 Renaissance Project (like Project 2025) and a hard right government "fixing" but really breaking government. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/egyp...

The trajectory of U.S. politics is an echo of what happened in Egypt after the Arab Spring uprising that toppled the government and allowed extremism in.

In Salt Lake City, we had around 150 protestors and about 30 counter-protestors. Our group came armed with signs, passion, courage and a desire to protect our country and institutions. Many counter protestors were armed and wore flak vests. It is clear who lives in fear.

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler.

Yes, an informed and educated public is a serious threat to an authoritarian regime. That’s why Pol Pot had the leaders and teachers executed in every village.
When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.

As expected, don’t pay any attention to what they say. Watch what they do and the results that follow. Ignore their gaslighting!
DOGE is actually INCREASING the deficit.
It has cut only a small fraction of what it’s claimed to cut.
And it’s cutting the IRS and CFPB — both of which GAIN revenue for the government.
So DOGE is a money loser — except for Elon Musk, who profits off fat government contracts.

Everything Musk oversees stays together for a while, but falls apart over time: Cybertrucks, SpaceX rockets, Twitter... It's only a matter of time before we see a rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Trump regime. We just have to keep pulling back the facade until it falls apart, too.
