While being able to say that a majority of voters wanted it this way because they voted for him.

Make no mistake, if Trump wants it, his supporters want it. I work with a bunch of morons. The country is in the hands of a cult.

My coworkers support political assassination, concentration camps for LGBT, forced Christianity. If Trump said it, they want it.

I am fully radicalized. Fuck this country.

Oh for sure - and the nutters will be saying it's 'divine mandate' since he survived those assassination attempts. We ain't seen shit yet.

IRS employees better start job hunting.

Keep punching left and down. That will really help build the coalition to resist fascism.

You just need to reference their last playbook: less data means it's not happening, like covid.

They’ll blame democrats and win even more votes.

I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better.

Oh it makes things better alright. Better for the drug companies who now don't have to deal with pesky things like "safety" and "consequences for killing people".

Nah, let's all take a good honest look at what's happening and start preparing for it.

In not alarming news...Maybe the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey will remain largely unchanged

Given his age, there is a non-zero chance that he may die while in the presidency?

JD Vance isn’t exactly a charismatic individual (some might even go so far as call him ‘weird’); so this entire neo-fascist movement may very well fragment and flounder in the not too distant future.

They won't hear about the bad things, or they'll be told it was the Democrats that did it, and they'll be believe it. Convincing MAGA of reality is pointless while they're still feeding from the trough of conservative shit. We're better off protesting and being disruptive in combination with getting our shit together for next round, where hopefully we'll have real primaries and get our first competent general election candidate since Obama.

And the ones who didn't vote.

He gutted the Federal Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

He then took deliberate steps to inhibit pandemic response in 2020.

Dismantling the CDC and HHS is absolutely to be expected.

I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I'll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.

Jones hasn't crawled under any rocks, he's been going strong even with a billion dollar judgement against him and filing for bankruptcy. Infowars is being auctioned off in a week so it might be bought by someone who will just keep him exactly where he is, but he's been openly setting up a backup business and directing people to it, which he's said ON AIR he'll just fold into the existing business if all goes well. His dad has a completely independent supplement company and he's got completely unaffiliated mates selling his merch.

The only reason he's less prominent now is because the politicians and the mainstream media in the US are so fucking unhinged that he's struggling to stay relevant in his niche.

Most, if not all in some cases, funding for state-level regulatory agencies comes directly from their federal counterparts. This will essentially kill state agencies as well.

Or at the very least, they will be severely reduced in terms of staff and purview.

And that's just the states that don't decide to follow the administration's lead and do the same thing to their state level agencies.

More like "mysteriously falling from windows."
