I'm just sitting here, shaking my head "no" because evil never dies, it just changes form.
I'm predicting that Emperor Cheeto's successor will be just as bad, in his own way. And it won't be JD Vance, because Vance has (smartly) started to put a little distance between. It will be some other dreadful curse, like Stephen Miller, or Kegsbreath, or maybe even John Thune. <*shudder*>
Unfortunately I would have to agree with those who say the system is doing as the system has been designed to do, and most of our established leaders (from both parties) are just playing out their roles as they have been written. It's performance politics at best.
And I'm not usually the conspiracy theory type. I'm just calling it for what I am seeing: injustice sewn into the fabric of society, metastasizing into unbridled, unapologetic fascism.
The saddest part of all, for me, has been watching friends and family just ... carrying on, like nothing is wrong. Like somehow the nation will self-correct, and nobody will actually have to make any changes to their lives or choices.
