A Modest Proposal for Resistance:

For the foreseeable future, do not stand, say, or sing the pledge of allegiance or national anthem.

The MAGA crowd who attacked the capital on January 6 now rule America. To pledge allegiance to it is to pledge allegiance to them. There is no alternative.

Musk and Ramaswamy's anarcho-techno-capitalist fantasy in their DOGE plan:

America:

Markets are self-regulating. The government has no power over them.

Trump's Competence:

Create a new bureaucracy "Government Efficiency" to eliminate bureaucarcies.

Maybe, just maybe, incompetence will save us.
