Conservatism was always just cover for an ideology that amounts to: take wealth and power from the vulnerable and give it to the wealthy and powerful. 99% of them never believed in free markets or strong families or quality education. They were always oligarchs & authoritarians at heart.

The time to freak out was when Trump openly broke nepotism laws by hiring Jared & Ivanka, stacked blank papers to pretend to divest from bizzes & broke lease terms for our DC Post Office building. He was clearly signaling that he doesn't believe in representative democracy & we shrugged it off.

It would be more legitimate to talk about the problems with MALE bodily autonomy. Why do we never question whether serial pedophiles, rapists and deadbeat dads should keep their testicles? This presumed right causes massive harm to the public. Maybe testicles should be a privilege & not a right.

On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.

You joke, but it's so true that people perceive things the way they're told to perceive things. Like, "It's not meaningful that we found 140+ Trump team contacts with Russia because we can't (or didn't try) to prove a quid pro quo" = "Russia hoax."
