No aew from me! Just barf!

“Shock and awe,” Traitors Trump’s will be followed by failure and chaos.

No I see this as The Shock Doctrine, having been read by some billionaire conservative, then molded to the shape they wanted it. If you haven't read the book, it might be a good idea to do it prior to Day 1. Maybe that will stem some of the shock and panic they hope to achieve.

Maybe there's an answer to them somewhere in the book. To a point, I've avoided it til now. But I'm going to buy it and take my own advice!

Great reading for these times. It all makes sense.

Also, if you search YouTube, you'll find her interviews there.

She is very smart and very well spoken. Very easy to listen to.

I kept being overwhelmed with disgust.

Just ordered it though. Probably NOT the best time to read it, as dystopia is upon us... but I'd rather be for-shocked and ready than shocked every minute of every hour by what this maladministration will do.

They made a big deal out of Executive Orders.

By the way- Biden has issued fewer than Trump first term did. That’s a fact.

From 8 years ago -

Before it drops, watch for strategic leaks that get people pre-outraged. They may be the shiny objects meant to divert and distract from their favourites.

Analyze a spectrum of feeds and see who is pushing what, especially tRump-favourable ones. The narrative they and tRump push is often to distract from what they would most like to see happen. Also expect some 'red meat' for maga to infest and gorge on.

So poor Laken Riley's name will be invoked to divert from something for massive oil fracking/drilling.
Or announcing some minor increment on abortion with great fanfare to distract from a big reduction in food safety laws.

The tRump team will invite video in for signing a few of the blizzard EOs, and those are likely to be the shiny objects.

I hope people make tabulations of the EOs and sort and classify them.

* Some will be illegal and can be fought in court.
* Others will be big changes in small packages.
* Some will use complex language and wonky references to hide what they are really doing -- those will have to be chased down by experts in their field.
* Counting how many people might be impacted by each EO.
* Which is worst for the environment, worst for each main minority group, worst for women (the majority), best for money bros, best for racists.

Five keys of counter-prop: True (unassailable), Clear (instantly digested), Fast (quick response), Aimed (at audience of original propaganda), Abundant.

We'll have to see what they really are and how many.

Trump will do about a fourth of his campaign rhetoric. He is already backing down on a lot of stuff he has said and that his followers were stupid enough to believe.

Fuck these people.

Everyone else should prepare for the Trump slump. Rest assured that the billionaire boys club will sell the wreck for a profit.

to "shock" us? I wonder why he needs to shock the American people, causing us to be in "awe"?

Rhetorical questions, I think I know the answers and I plan on doing all I can to ensure my MAGA acquaintances reap the whirlwind of his shocking actions like the rest of us.

MAGA thinks they're part of a club, and they're not as you all know.

As I've noted previously, he should have been born in agony, suffered nightmarish pain every second of his life, and then died a death so excruciating that it would make a Cartel torturer shudder.

Instead we get this bullshit.

No. Rather, revulsion and disgust.

And even greater energy devoted to the resistance.

I don't think anyone tried to pushed the domestic enemy clause.

They hyperventilated about the end of democracy, but when it comes right down to nuts and bolts, they're shrinking back into the background, almost trying to normalize it, to my mind. It's disgusting. Either it's as bad as you said prior to the election, and as we could see coming, or it wasn't. At this point, with so many I considered to be progressives, like Fetterman, I'm just disgusted.

The economy is as good as it can be considering. They want to get it done soon enough to blame Biden. The tariffs are coming, the tariffs are coming!

All this shit-talking is classic hubris as in the old Greek dramas, or, to cite some other ancient wisdom, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18)

It might take awhile, and the chaos they create in the meantime will be epic, but so will be their downfall. Hitler in the bunker.
