At this point they're actively hostile to all American Institutions that keeps them in check and are also actively hostile to the population itself. Trump's previous Term was comparatively tame and even if he won in 2020 it would've been tamer than this. This is pretty much war being waged against the working class by the rich.

Do these people believe that they'll be able to assert total control of all government institutions by 2028? Or is it some form of fascist self destruction ritual? Because right now even the chuds are having second thoughts about their party.

Some of them are mad about the economy because it personally affects them and this surpasses their glee of sending immigrants to concentration camps.

i'm surrounded by chuds at work and while i don't see any active anger they are very quiet and shell-shocked these days. vacant stares and uncertainty.

there is no boasting or even discussion. they've basically become apolitical.

i personally love when they shut the fuck up for a second.

Tell them you're going to send ICE to their house.

As crackers, they'll be quite confused, but just remind them that ICE go wherever they receive tips for and no longer need warrants to go doorkicking while smiling

more willing to push MAGA stuff or be emboldened to talk about it unprompted. These aren't ideologically committed people, though. generic dont tread on me country folk

more upbeat/hopeful about Trump/MAGA and now just disengaged completely, don't want to talk about it.
