They are conducting a Psy-ops operation on the American People

Ordinarily we might rely upon the Military and Intelligence to defend us from the psychological warfare and terrorism being unleashed all across our government and on our population. But they've been infiltrated by right-wing ideologues and militias and they've been placed in positions of authority. He told us he didn't need votes, and I've been convinced from the start that they have rigged the entire show. Not even an original plot line. Worked like a charm in Germany. Our belief in "Our Better Angels" and "The Arc Of History" and "The Moral High Ground" has led us to this juncture, and to be fair, History doesn't provide us with many examples of different outcomes. Evil has no reason to fear the moral high ground. I don't see much promise this time, either. We're seeing ourselves in the mirror, and not enough of us are disgusted. I had selfishly hoped I wouldn't have to live in the world being forced upon us now. This is the WORST situation of my seventy-four years. I WEEP FOR THE CHILDREN.

One response are counter-ops. Another is the secession of Blue States and a new American Union. Once Trump and MAGA are defeated we can put the whole country back together again.

It's a non-starter for me. Not giving up one square inch of The Union to the Fascists.

He's setting up the conditions for upheaval, and has been itching to use the military on Americans, and has complained when cooler heads prevailed and frustrated his intentions. He's going to use the smallest excuse to declare an Emergency and declare Martial Law. This is the purpose of this fire-hose of atrocious orders. Overload our consciousness and terrify us, further divide and demoralize us. He's going to piss off everybody but his golf buddies until somebody does something stupid and he'll seize control. Remember Germany.--- "Lawfare" is our only option. And a Forlorn Hope at that, since the Heritage Foundation has been warping The Court for my whole life (two illegitimate Justices courtesy of McConnell fuckery and one corrupt and creepy Justice courtesy of Satan). We need our Best Minds and Bravest Bodies on this. Bury them in lawsuits. Every Day. And, we all need to ween ourselves off our addictions to Tech-Bro Twaddle... we're gonna need the cash if we are to afford eggs, and we can all do without their Treason.

We are headed to at a minimum a deep recession and financial crisis.

Depression is a very real possibility.

It has been an expensive and elaborate plan to permanently damage the US.
It has been very successful.

Americans don't even realize we are at war.
And in fact have joined the enemy willingly.

Instead of only beating the Capitol Police and threatening Congress, he’s beating every last Federal employee and anyone who derives a benefit from the Federal government.

Also, once again, nobody is telling him to fucking STOP!

Hey, those are OUR employees and earned benefits! NOT HIS! Indeed, ultimately Trump is our employee as well.

It’s disgusting!
