I truly wish these people would wake up. I know we're mostly smarter than these people so the schadenfreude it's easy to come by, but most of us aren't thriving under capitalism, and 100% of us are compromising voting for one of the two viable political parties.

I didn't vote for the guy and even I didn't even imagine the level of destruction and chaos that's come so far.

It's been pretty astonishing. I was expecting a lot of vindictive attacks on those who he though had wronged him, and an element of tearing down anything that might regulate his buddies' industries, but this is a level or 5 beyond that. It's like their trying to go as fast as possible, doing as much damage as possible before someone stops them. In fact, I suspect it's exactly that, they know that some form of opposition will eventually form, and are trying to get as much done as possible before that happens. I imagine they can't believe their luck at how long it's taking.

For what it's worth, that's exactly what they said they'd do, and for that reason, in the introduction to Project 2025.
