    Take the blackouts seriously, because the next escalation is the south shore of the Rubicon

    If this happened in any other country … it would be a coup

    Since it happened in the US … media get to use their imagination to describe it any other way than the truth.

    It’s not just Trump and Musk. Remember, there are two supposedly co-equal branches of government that could step in here.

    The entire Republican party is complicit in this.

      The entire Republican party is complicit in this.

      Partly through threats and leverage and fear. The previous term purged most of the GOP who weren’t cowards.

    They have literally been saying this forever now! It’s written in their goddamn little project 2025 outline. The Vice president literally said we’re going to fire everybody and replace them with our people.

    I mean, how much clearer do they need to fucking say it!?

    I bet you they could literally get on fox media and say “we’re taking over the fucking government. It’s a coup.” and their supporters would be cheering them on and nothing would happen.

    In fact, his supporters think he’s the greatest thing since sliced fucking bread because he’s purging the liberals.

    Hey Americans, take to the streets or you’re signaling implicit approval.

    Canada and the rest of the world is watching.
