Fascists use ten tactics to take over a country:
FROM Yale Professor Jason Stanley
01) The mythic past
02) Propaganda:
03) Anti-intellectualism:
04) Unreality
05) Hierarchy:
06) Victim-hood
07) Law and Order
08) Sexual Anxiety:
09) Appeals to rural voters
10) conflict between “us” and “them,”

I SAY VOTE NO, trump/musk are not going to follow the law anyway.
This may be our last chance to say NO to trump. We are past the point where normal politics can save us.
You were against this CR a day ago, what changed your mind?

Musk/Trump may be after the Social Security data instead of the money. With access to all the government systems and data, they could cut off social security payments to any person/group/state that does not fall in line with trump's orders.

I think The Lincoln Project had a prediction that Trump would be arresting governors of states they don't like for some reason.

I think MUSK/JD/TRUMP might use the failure to get a budget deal in March as an excuse to declare emergency and cut all spending they don't like using the treasury system. Crazy I know, but I also think Musk and JD might turn on the orange man. JD is the real believer in Curtis Yarvin's plan.

Scott Bessent, trump's treasury secretary, LOOKS LIKE A BIG-TIME SHORT-SELLER. Also shows no empathy for average Americans.

Trade war would harm entire world economy, very few unharmed.

That would be ideal, but seems unlikely, too good to be true.

Maybe a decoupling from China would be good, but it should be done with a gradual, long-term plan. Some of the cheap goods could be produced in Mexico or Canada instead to help build up our area of the world.

I think the dumping the treasuries fear is overblown. If they tried to dump them too fast, they would lose money. Also, if china did that in a purposely harmful way the US could block it.
