Don't know if what I'm feeling is grounded in reality since I just had a particularly productive therapy session but I think I was feeling this beforehand too when I was scrolling this morning.
From what I'm seeing in the shift in posture, Stephen Miller blew his load and I assume Capital is getting antsy and is trying to cut off the Infinite Vice-Signal Machine. In a dark way, Alex Pretti was the perfect victim for the American public, and his execution was so blatantly appalling that it seems that that, alongside the general strike, is shocking the bourgeoisie into realignment with social liberalism for the first time since 2025's "mandate".
If it is the case that the leash is being pulled, expect to see the internal contradictions between the accelerationist cadre (ICE, Miller, Noem, Bovino, Thiel) and the thermostatics (Trump, Cruz, Vance) start to heighten. (EDIT: it, at least rhetorically, begins) The state-integrated Proud Boys and Oathkeepers on the ground are going to try to hit the gas on the tension pedal now that the leash for Unlimited GTA LARP might be tugged. They want to provoke the race war as much as they possibly can before the party ends. Miller, if competent, will take an L, fall into the background, and bide his time until we approach US midterms for another ramping up of domestic repression. They seem to want to make Noem and/or Bovino the fall guys for this, though I'd laugh if they somehow take Miller down with them.
If you are in the USA and my vibe meter holds (meaning the admin takes the L on this and retreats), you should be operating as if this is an armistice that will last, reasonably, at most until midterm elections. Even if they fold on their aura-farming about 'canceling the elections', treat it like they won't and immediately seek to organize with cool people within your area. gather the tools, strategies and general means to defend against and disrupt militant repression.
If I'm wrong (the admin doubles down), then we are truly in the Decades Week, agitate as much as possible to the laymen and rally for shows of worker power, as well as linking up with your local socialists and workers, of course. The former path's goals are worthwhile too if you and your comrades can muster them in time.
The best time to get offline and talk to the people in your area was when you first gained political consciousness. The second best time is now.
yeah these are the burgeoning internal contradictions, Trump is assessing how much he has to fork over (thus far, Noem and Bovino) in order to stabilize the situation whilst not looking weak and I think what's currently happening is everyone in his circle is approaching him with a pitch deck of how to maneuver this three week adventure where they blicked down Median Voters into a Win^TM^ in order to either curry favor or advance their own projects. Noem's pitch was that bullshit with the voter rolls that was bungled from the start. Hegseth's pitch is probably that they create a situation, forcing the means to do so through on exit, where once the temperature dies down ICE can operate like a stay-behind come, idk, midterms or something.
They're overwhelmingly signaling tactical retreat, so my instinct is this is actually a long-term measure for the next wave. Hegseth is probably part of the accelerationist wing and clearly wants to make this a now thing but is either somewhat smarter than Bovino/Noem or taking Bovino/Noem as examples and will probably not contradict the Burgerfuhrer when he says 'retreat'
Might be myopic though, I have to do more investigation tbh
can someone explain the voter rolls thing to me? what's the angle there?
My guess: the True-Believers think there is massive voter fraud they can prove by getting the voter rolls, the Tech Reich wants to find a way to AI Gangstalk the socialists and also the liberals probably, the Libidinal Hitlerites want a database of which immigrants are the wokest both for race science and for harassment, the Stoic Hitlerites want to engineer the Thousand-Year Reich and they need to know how to optimize voter suppression
Great breakdown of the factions in the administration
