“The disregard of the common good is greater under an
oligarchy than under a democracy. But worst of all is a
tyranny where the advantage of one man is sought. The
rule of a tyrant is worst. 13th Century theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas (from Matthew Fox, Daily Meditation, 4 March 2025)

I am convinced that this national and worldwide chaos orchestrated by Trump Inc., is planned to disrupt like the Great Depression (stocks crash - economic collapse), then declare Marshall Law in response to peaceful demonstrations, & suspend civil rights and elections - ala Hitler's playbook.

We need to wake up to this serious threat. I hope I'm wrong, and I don't want to spread conspiracy theories, but the chaos the Maga faction is sewing, the opposition to DEI, universities, and our traditional democratic allies all point to a cultural revolution toward the radical right-Rufo's stuff.

Is the radical right waging what they see as a counter revolution? The chaos they are sewing makes no sense otherwise. This occurred to me when I started to draw a connection to what Trump is doing and what Mao did with China's cultural revolution. See the writings and theories of Christopher Rufo.
