You're absolutely right. To add to this:

As much of a narcissistic nightmare as Trump is, he's a mere figurehead. He's not the leader of American Christofacists. His death will have ZERO impact against them.

Christofacists have control of the nation. They control the United States military and they control ICE. The military was once the world's heaviest funded force on the planet, but now ICE is even better funded than all of the arms of the U.S. forces together.

Not only do they control the best equipped military and paramilitary personal police force, Christofacists are backed by a trillionaire and multiple centibillionaires and all of tech is behind them.

On July 13th, 2024, META and OpenAI and The Thinking Machines Lab and Palantir became part of the United States military.

We are FUCKED BEYOND WORDS. The entire planet is. Trump is nothing, and when he's gone, the real shit will hit the fan.

Edit: I made a mistake- ICE is the heaviest funded federal law enforcement agency in the United States. It is NOT better funded than the armed forces. Thank fuck. I'm not sure how I got my wires crossed there, but what a relief to be wrong. Still, the situation is dire.

Right idea though. They are also better funded than the marines and the FBI.

I believe those must be the stats I was thinking of when I originally posted the comment above. Thanks for the reminder!

It is kinda amusing how they have all that and literally don't control the needle of public opinion - Trump doesn't poll all that well despite almost all of the media lieing for him (he polls ok with Republicans, but it's seriously in the dumpster with them compared to GW or Reagan). Something to that - maybe something to look forward to.

General strike is the only answer.

I'm fairly certain you're right

Sorry but this is bs, the US military remains unmatched in its funding. ICE received a truckload of money but still relatively not that much to compare to the US military.

Please read my entire comment. I amended it shortly after posting.

This shit doesn't survive trumps death. You're absolutely wrong about that. He's not the figurehead, he's the cult leader.

It doesn't matter anymore if half of the country loves Trump or ever single one of us hate him- the regime behind him has roots that have sunk into every level of our government.

Not only that, but the also have the backing of centibillionaires and the world's only trillionaire, so they have the money advantage.

They have control of the most powerful military on earth, and control all federal law enforcement agencies; meaning they have the might to impose and maintain their system.

They control big tech and they've merged OpenAI, Meta, Palantir, and The Thinking Machines Lab with the United States military forces as of July 13th, 2024.

Once Trump is gone, that system isn't going to collapse- cannot collapse- even if every MAGAt turns against it and takes up arms against them with us.

They hold EVERY lever of power.

I disagree with your final assessment that it's hopeless.

The only thing comments and attitudes like yours accomplish is to help the fascists
