Genuinely think the intent is to make conditions so unbearable within the empire so he can round up the coming storm to push forward the most violent shit possible.
manufacturing bad conditions to manipulate the backlash is certainly an idea, i'm not sure it works when you scream from the rooftops that it's your project and what ever happens will be your fault.
there's no fallguy, there's no possible fallguy, he's branded the tarriffs as his idea from here to kingdom come. how could even the historically unintellectual yankee people possibly misdirect their ire?
"Transgender" stole our "tariff wealth" is literally what he already said.
~1% of the population, yet they're able to bring America to its knees. Hand the world to the Trans Illuminati, they've earned it.
to be fair, theres another 0.01% bringing the planet to its knees
It's me, transgender. I can confirm, I've been spending all the tariff wealth I stole on some good quality dope.
He'll just keep blaming the wokes and the transgenders and the illegal immigrants, and the hogs will keep eating it up.
Yeah but the true number of people buying that versus the false voice of social media doesn't correlate to reality, and by its own methods of promotion (bots/AI) will always be false.
And social media appears to be what Trump is basing his popularity on.
The true number is very high. Amerikkkans are and ignorant hoggish people.
It's not as high as he thinks is my point and I'm not convinced it's high enough to break through if he actually causes great depression 2^2
I guess he could always try stabbed in the back? Say the tarrifs would have worked if geatures vaguely "they" hadn't interfered or refused to play ball or whatever with "they" being some group, a portion of corporations or a group of controlling interests in them slated for sidelining or just you know trans people and poc and stuff.
Yea he kinda got rid of all the scapegoats he could use. Immigrants are getting deported, every country is tariffed, DEI is "gone". What else is there to blame?
The gays and libs
I mean, fuck libs though.
There's always more undocumented immigrants. His porgoms have been to embolden business owners to cut conditions for immigrants to save money. People will still cross the border to provide for their families as long as the dollar is strong. If it becomes more dangerous, the value of "protection" from ICE increases and is further deducted from their pay.
This is the plan, absolutely. Sure these people also became true believers for their propaganda, but there's no reason to think elements of the ruling bourgeoisie are ignorant to the effects of what Trump's doing. They're crashing the global economy with no survivors and is banking on America being able to whether the blows enough to take bigger bites out of their main economic competitors.
shock doctrine, baby!
