Right now is a moment to look around, recognize what is happening with authoritarian capitulation, see how reality is shifting. Take stock and ground yourself. See who your allies are and who is auditioning for favorite quisling status. Things are changing in a hurry. Get your feet under you.
it IS happening quickly. He's being treated as if he is already the President - and the media and every foreign leader seem to be falling right in line. And yes exhausting. There seems to be no escaping him and his cronies. There was a time when ppl didn't even know who the Ambassadors were-remember
The rapid capitulation is jarring (and, as you know, designed to be disorienting). Many held onto hope that the Dems were saviors and are watching as they attempt to make common cause with those seeking to dismantle the very elements of government that (barely) sustain us.
^This^ is what I am most frustrated about.
The fact he’s got the backing on his co potus is at least part of why so many are capitulating. Money talks. The threat of obscene amounts of it being used against these guys talks even louder.
