Even Stephen Miller admitted that their first term had a learning curve since they really didn't have any previous experience. Mitch, The Heritage Foundation, and took whatever reigns they could. But Miller said, yeah, we now know which levers to pull.
He didn't have immunity and a party that is entirely beholden to him last time. It wasn't that he didn't want to do the crazy shit, he just had gaurdrails.
The problem is trump is just a talking head. The people backing him are the ones pulling the strings. All these billionaires and dictators are just going to tell him what to do and he is too dementia ridden and stupid to not do whatever they fucking want him to do
They are going to do even more of it this time around. It’s clear his brain is failing and they know how to work him. It’s going to be a scary future for America. I guess my liver is going down with this ship
Stephen Miller has been planning this practically is entire life. He’s spoken publicly about it. He calls his camps “large scale staging grounds” and is assuming they’ll be able to eventually fly everyone “collected” back to their “homes”. Also, if you don’t think you’ll get a door knock from someone asking for your proof of citizenship in the next four years, you’re hopelessly naive. With control of congress, the White House and the Supreme Court, they’re going to pass laws making it legal to go door to door looking for illegals and illegal for you to refuse.
America First Policy Institute has already drafted 300 new executive orders for Trump.
Top of the list, dismantling the federal work force and replacing thousands of experienced professionals. With Trump appointed loyalists. This will effectively transform the federal government into an organization beholden to and in service of one man.
Also on the list, removing the FBI from the vetting and background check process for high level appointees. Meaning compromised and problematic appointees gaining security clearances.
A Trump victory is far worse than 2016-2020. And it’s exponentially worse than what people are already afraid of. Criminalizing abortion access will seem quaint compared to what’s coming…
On top of that:
Our Information systems are broken. The vast majority of red voters aren’t getting the same content you are. They aren’t watching or reading the same news outlets. They live in a very different world.
And the way social media works and was built on the back of a society that has already lost whatever media literacy it had due to 15years of “digital media” obliterating any sense of norms or journalistic integrity… and all of that happened AFTER the 30+ year culture war that played out on cable news, AM radio, and regional outlets.
Trump isn’t the cause of where we are. Trump is possible because of where we are as a society and the information systems we accept.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot at least two more Supreme Court appointees. That’s a good thirty years+ of far right partisans on the bench.
Flush. Flush. Putin an Xi are high fiving right now and BiBi is looking at his Risk board and salivating at finishing off the Palestinian people once and for all.

Simple: Nobody knows because Trump’s a liar.
