I think if Trump crashes the economy, wrecks jobs in red states and rural areas, Fox continues to peddle what they peddle, and inflation continues to rise with tariff price increases, people will get desperate, they’ll get scared and that, with new funding, will push people to sign up in droves.
2024 hires from other agencies, hired back after a court order, have been told to report to ICE or resign some of them took a cash signing bonus for some other agency & used it to buy a truck, so they're in a hell of a fix but generally I think 'set up a website to recruit Party thugs' is not good
