One thing missing from the analysis is that many of these companies are permeated with Conservatives and #MAGA types. They are preventing them from standing up from within. Corporations are as divided as the larger society they operate in.

It's astonishing to see how most people's reaction is accommodation and appeasement. Even people who should know better. I'm sorry to say but it looks like you guys are toast. No one has a plan except hoping for free and fair midterms. LOL to that one.

I remember that tweet. I was close to some famous APD stars in grad school, and boy did they have huge blind spots.
Anyway, it was already obvious with the Tea Party and the Christianists that things were going sideways, but USians wouldn't listen and they lost precious time.

I asked Google Gemini to define what a constitutional coup is. Here's the result. I'm a political scientist, so no surprise for me.
I fear that if we wait for definitive confirmation, it will be too late; and in the meantime we're just being gaslighted.

What is happening would seem to fit political scientists' definition of a constitutional coup. What is your take on this?

The journalists at the Post work for an oligarch who's desperate to kiss the ass of the new administration. He showed he would censor the paper to protect his business interests. It's not like self-censored piece will come with a disclaimer, so anything coming out of that newspaper is now suspect.

"Nobody was tricked into voting for Trump"
Voters angry at Biden for inflation that is affecting countries worldwide, vote for Trump who promises to impose import tariffs which will spark inflation.
