This is all clearly practice and an attempt to convince the public that the President can shutdown whatever he wishes - like a king. It is all practice for when the President attempts to shutdown Congress and the Judiciary. The President is actively waging war against every citizen of the United States of America!

He loves the poorly educated, guess this is really a cry for help. He just wants people to like him, and only the incredibly ignorant seem to.

As much as it is still heartbreaking, this does make me a bit glad that I don't have children.

Basically all I've seen from this administration is what they're against (healthcare, education, diversity, environment/climate, science, equity, inclusion, regulations, etc.), but like, are they for anything besides the antithesis of those?

Authoritarianism

Billionaires hoarding wealth, and slavery.

[-] PeripheralGhost@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

Seems so

I mean they literally called their campaign "the revenge tour." There's nothing they want to build because a fascist regime like this already has everything they need: huge amounts of capital, channels to pipe out propaganda, and hoards of mindless hate-filled followers, all of them armed to the teeth.

"What else is on the agenda" is getting rid of anything and anyone that can stand up to them.

Sigh....

Hm. White power? Maybe god, too, because he comes with sweet donations from congregations

Billionaires and making as much grifting as possible?

[-] PeripheralGhost@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Likely so

Id say money but they hate the IRS

If there's nothing to hold the country together, there's no reason for a union.

Why wouldn’t he? He’s faced zero opposition and his base feels safe and comfortable.

[-] geoff@lemm.ee 28 points 17 hours ago

Straight up just defunding schools.

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago

Defund the police everyone goes crazy, defund the school system just another normal day.

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 20 points 16 hours ago

Schools are a dangerous place for cops, what with all the guns and shootings going on.
