To follow that up: I think the only thing that has a chance of shaking the American people out of this craze is that the trump admin crashes and burns the US economy on a level that hasn't been seen for 100 years. Something so bad people are forced to remember what happened that time they elected a populist dictator's puppet for president.

The danger with that is what we've seen before (and which the people planning stuff like Project 2025 may be banking on): A broken economy breeds populism and fascism. In that sense, there's the paradoxical danger that trump running everything to the ground may push even more people into the maga-camp.

So yeah - there’s a ton of stupid and gullible people who are just bandwagoning for one reason or another. Those are the people who I think (hope, really) can be snapped out of this shit.

The ones I’m REALLY concerned about are:

psychopathic capitalists who can never have enough money (see: Bezos, Musk)
accelerationists (see: Zuck)
Christian Dominionists (See: Johnson, Pence)
white supremacists and neofascists (don’t really need to explain that one)
conservative militias (See: Proud Boys, 3%ers, etc) - they’re WAY better organized than most people realize. And Trump’s probably gonna invoke the insurrection act and deputize those fucksticks, and bam, you got your brand new home-grown American neo-Sturmabteilung.
