Yeah, it's getting more deeply concerning as I think the intent is to truly undermine the country to actual failure. Destabilize us internally and externally and throw us into an actual depression. Anyone at the "Top" will be able to walk through that comfortably and insulated. Also, remember these fuckers have been buying up huge chunks of land and also reportedly building luxury bunkers on their land... The rest of us, the "proletariat" will suffer, starve, kill, maybe go to outright war. We already have "enemies of the state" being disappeared. Lots of outrage for that, but I think they will escalate the amount to the point of being background noise. They get to buy the remaining assets for pennies on the dollar. People will be so disillusioned with things that the billionaires can become the "Saviors" of the select people who bow to them. The rest can be turned into "biomass" or whatever that fucking shit stain Yarvin suggested.

Just history on repeat, but sped up by the digital age. These tech bro fascists are going to get millions of people killed if we don't stop them soon.

I hope I'm wrong.

They're not going to "get" people killed. They're planning it.

Come Monday, every single American will be pinched. American companies not subject to tariffs will lie about it, and raise prices anyway.

The entire goal of the first 90 days is to make the situation so bad that protests get so big that Trump can declare martial law. That's the end game.
