That was so well written and every word rings true. That is what makes it so frightening. The thing that scares me is that while it's true that Trump's cabinet and staff has been a revolving door over the course of his time in office, it seems so different this time. As flawed as many of the people that held positions in Trump's first term were, there was just enough character in each one to eventually balk at what their job required.
The question is how could all of those people who had so much experience in the military or government go to work for Trump in the first place? Sessions, Barr and Bolton were all extremely experienced and had to know what working for a man as corrupt as Trump would be like. I have no respect for any of them but the experience they brought to the job can't be denied. And what about "The Generals" that Trump referred to so often in his first campaign? "My generals, I love my generals he would boast." "Mad Dog Mattis .." he would go on about in his rallies. It does make you wonder just how flawed these people were to have not seen through Trump. They were certainly right to warn the country prior to the election just how terrible of a person Trump is. How much of a fascist his is. Too little too late.
Trump has proven to be an unstoppable force. He mowed through every single republican candidate in the republican campaign leading up to the 2016 election. He outlasted every star member. Only the true sychophants stayed. Look how many on his staff left and spoke out against him. Cassidy Hutchinson. How brave and believable she was. Where is she now? She spoke the truth about what a despicable monster Trump is. What good did it do? There were lots of brave republicans back in the dark days following the January 6 riots. But more cowards. Just like Trump went through every republican during his first campaign, he got almost all of the briefly brave republicans to come to kiss the ring.
Trump realized he couldn't run the presidency his way without every person working for him being a total sycophant. That was the lesson of his first term. Can you imagine Vance doing the right thing like Pence did? This article mentions the effectiveness of Trump's lying. The lesson is that now Trump has people comfortable with the lying all around him, who are extremely comfortable doing it.
The idea of Trump eventually declaring martial law is brought up, and what chance would citizens like us have if he does? He will do it. And people like myself will have no chance. If Trump makes it to the end of his second term there will be no more free and fair elections in this once great country. Project 2025 and Elon Musk have already seen to that. Trump wants to seize control of all media. Higher education. NPR, PBS. If he can successfully bring a show like 60 minutes, and and entire network like CBS to it's knees then how long are MSNBC or Free Speech TV going to last?
The Republicans in the senate and the house have all been following Trump's every order. They have no will or courage. He has defied The Supreme Court. The only guardrail holding Trump back at all has been the judges. They have been threatened, their families terrorized all at Trump's insistence. So many have held up with incredible courage. But that doesn't stop Trump. He always has a plan. He has now moved on to arresting them. After all, it isn't their courtrooms. Or the people's court rooms. They are Trump's. He and project 2025 have that covered.
America was consumed this past week with Trump's first 100 days. We know what that has looked like. What is it going to look like after 3 and 1/2 more years of Trump?
