Looks like the plan is to take the inner cities and turn them into war zones.  That will provide the excuse to do wholesale round ups and deportations of the poor brown and black folks.  Brown folks get tickets bound for South America, Black folks boarding for Africa ate Gate 2.  Not a whole lot different than the cleansing of the Warsaw Ghetto in WWII.  Just substitute jet aircraft for railway boxcars.

It's more than just distraction.  It provides justification for even more draconian policies aimed at crushing all dissent, increasing surveillance of the population and further limiting individual rights.  Step by step, methodically da goobermint is being transformed into a dictatorship, codified into law by the SCOTUS.

Sad to say, that should be a title to a sensational article.  Or a hyperbolic Youtube video with an AI thumbnail that teases and disappoints.  But it is the truth.

QuoteTrump will not be contained by the courts or the rule of law. On the contrary, he is going to use the trials to display his power. That's why he wants them televised. Trump's power comes from his following, not from the institutions of American government, and his devoted voters love him precisely because he crosses lines and ignores the old boundaries. They feel empowered by it, and that in turn empowers him.

America is burning down.  People scream fire but earbuds plug everyone's ears.

'Like people on a riverboat, we have long known there is a waterfall ahead but assume we will somehow find our way to shore before we go over the edge.

'Now the actions required to get us to shore are looking harder and harder, if not downright impossible.

Next step is concentration camps for ANTIFA and their Democratic Party collaborators.

A concentration camp is a place where a large number of inmates, often those deemed political enemies or members of ethnic and religious minorities, are confined against their will and under guard, usually without having been charged with a crime. Punitive conditions of internment usually result in a high rate of mortality.


CONCENTRATION CAMPS EXISTED LONG BEFORE HITLER CAME TO POWER


'...we continue to drift toward dictatorship, still hoping for some intervention that will allow us to escape the consequences of our collective cowardice, our complacent, willful ignorance and, above all, our lack of any deep commitment to liberal democracy. As the man said, we are going out not with a bang but a whimper.

Ironically, at this point the only way to shore is insurrection.

Quote from: RE on Oct 03, 2025, 11:08 AMIt boggles the mind how rapidly this country is being transformed into a Totalitarian State.  There is absolutely no way by the time Trumpolini's term is over that fair elections will be possible.  I'm not even sure the midterm elections for CONgress can be saved.

You heard it here first.  Kiss goodbye any hope for fair elections and hope the electoral process will end the downward spiral into totalitarianism.  I doubt this will be the last assault on voting rights either. I could see the communist party being made illegal, or some kind of means test being implemented.

At this point, the only question is what comes first, major international war or civil war.  There is no peaceful way out anymore.

The way I am dealing with things is by improving the Diner.  I'm making this post to look at some formatting issues.  I'll add a video in the same way in another post.


Better than ranting about the orange scourge and his syncopantic minions from hell.  I fly under the radar for a while.

Is it worth it?

If I did not think so I would not be doing it.  I won't detail what I am up to, but it is inspired by the Doomscroll project.

I am able to do the usual magic tricks I am used to doing when I post here. 

I will finish the remaining issues soon, I had to upload what I have.  I have been working on it for days.  All for my article template button which I have not even implemented yet.

Buttons before before and including the quote should all work.  Not so much left but much has been done.  I need a break.  Get me some H₂O and some O₂ and some Kyle.

I find this topic interesting. If only because I think I have noticed some of the psychological disfunction that folks suffer from in certain areas that lead them to believe there is like this invasion of foreigners.

So, first you grow up in some place where its all poor white folk, with white folks being the Doctor you go to, your teachers (first women through maybe 5th grade) and then mixed men and women. White folk still.

You complete in sports, and except for the occasional black athlete, in football, maybe some sprinters and hurdlers in track, and arrive at college. White folks everywhere, a rare Asian or black person maybe (in my case a cadre of Saudi Arabians sent to the US for engineering, but they were anomalous). And this was the world through the beginning of ones professional career.

I compare that to my kids growing up. The percentage of non-whites throughout public schooling, the white doctors are harder to find, same with dentists, foreign languages and clicks of non-white folks speaking something other than English are common even in the 1st-6th grade environment. Primarily Spanish, but certainly a reasonable number of Asians. Found a white dentist, he sold his practice to some nice Chinese married dentists who aren't him. My general practitioner is mostly white I think, with some Hispanic background of some sort. Really nice. Gay, which doesn't bother me...but wouldn't that be a surprise to folks 40 years ago and make them jumpy?

In a polyglot world, the places that remember the white haired male doctor that took care of the town, what must they think when he is replaced with a gay Asian woman? Same with other professionals, when they hear foreign languages at their local bank...from both customers and employees?

I am just jeakous when I bump into different languages, and wish I was bilingual. But it is just as easy to imagine folks I grew up with being afraid that any two foreigners are speaking in a language they don't understand...and making fun of the white gringo listening in.

I think some of this idea explains why my parents went MAGA in 2016, but the main impetus was the feeling their party had left them behind with their inclusive shenanigans. But they had flinched when they moved to be with grandkids elsewhere for awhile, a culture shock with all the new stuff, languages, attitudes. It lasted 2 years, then they moved back to where they (and I) had lived going back in to the 70's.

But all these things I see, when comparing to yesteryear to now, fits in nicely with the idea that folks want something back they THINK they once had....and it is because they are uncomfortable with the change. They want Mayberry back.

Not that either party will give it to them, but both will play into the charade with words I imagine, slogans, claims. MAGA just got there first, and in the Trumpsters 2nd term are pushing it to the extremes.
