Im surprised that "Sphincter mouthed dingleberry" didn't make the list (We yanks can do it too...)

this was very well done

Again, what do the Dems have to lose by being more vocal in their opposition to his misrule? They owe their constituents the courtesy of an explanation, if it's not too much to ask.

Actually the US Constitution has such glaring defects that they're contributing to the mess & are worth remedying.

... MAGA is a vast psy-op that took decades to build up, foment.

Normalizing, habituation is necessary to phasing in the draconian measures necessary, inducing societal mobilization by steps.

To what end? Continued imperial overreach, carried on the backs of the hoi poloi, of course. 5/7

But as you may have noticed, the chaos seems to be self defeating, unless we look at it thru the lens of incrementalism , that chaos isn't a flaw, it's a feature. The far right has dabbled in psy-war, disinfo, propaganda, & ideological manipulation for decades, 4/7

Cramming down the populace with austerity measures is SOP here, even as the rentier elite continues as free riders. 3/7

That is, an amalgamation of militant rentier agendas: a plantation economic model, a caste system galvanized by reactionary populism to support it, a plutonomy to feast upon it, an imperial presidency to lead it, & a refreshed hegemonic military footprint to expand & enforce it in the Americas. 2/7

Behind the veil of lunacy lies a calculating & militant rentier bloc, whose dream is a a mix of neo-feudalism & neo-fascism. 1/7

AKA stuffing money under the mattress. USA is practicing Economic Nationalism, incl. offshore assets losing value for tax evasion's sake. 2-party complicity but the Repubs include reactionary populism as part of rentier wealth defense. All in service to empire.
