“Screw him and his motivations.” It doesn’t matter whether Trump is doing this out of ignorance or cruelty—we have to stop him either way. Because no matter who you are—a senior citizen, a kid in school, a mom trying to afford medicine—Trump is coming after you. [...] “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those they seek to oppress.” So the question is—how much are we willing to endure?"

Three strategies for public pressure in response are refusal, resistance and ridicule…

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

The [American] Founding Fathers never believed that tyranny could arise out of the executive office, because they did not see this office in any different light but as the execution of what the legislation has decreed in various forms. I leave it at that. We know today that the greatest danger of tyranny is, of course, the executive.

When #Trump returned to office, his rivals & #law enforcement ofcls feared he would follow through on his pledges to use the #DOJ & #FBI to investigate & even imprison perceived enemies.
But since winning re-election, Trump’s retribution campaign has turned out to be far more expansive, efficient & creative than anticipated. It has also been less reliant on the justice system.

But how exactly was the United States able to become so wealthy and powerful when it's so vulnerable to any madman that wants to tear it apart? In the last 3 months, I haven't seen any guardrails protecting the country and its people.

Even the crypto bros don't want anything to do with the plummeting stock market. Just think about it for a second: The most volatile industry on the planet wants to separate itself from the shitshow started by the Trump regime.
