The Trumpists won’t be able to implement everything they have planned exactly as they have planned it. But they are better prepared and in a far better position overall than they were in 2017.
More malevolent, less incompetent, with a weaker system to oppose them.

Why the Second Trump Regime Will Be Far More Dangerous
This will be a much more radical regime – and it will operate under conditions that are vastly more favorable to its extremist cause

Sunday reading: What awaits us in a second Trump presidency?
A much more extreme rightwing regime that is vastly better prepared and will be operating under conditions that are significantly more favorable to its political cause.
I wrote about what’s different than in 2016/17.

It was a 49% to 48% election.
Fascism won by a hair.
And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't him do things like shoot American protesters.
