The language of the linked article by Mr Barrington Salmon may seem to veer into conspiracy territory at times…if it wasn’t so well-documented. At the risk of “yelling into a echo chamber”…
“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” the Project 2025 manifesto said. “It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”
Meyerson, editor-at-large at The American Prospect, said far-right conservatives and The Heritage Foundation have an extensive enemies’ list that includes “welfare recipients, lazy and liberal civil servants, anti-business regulators, environmentalists, and union bosses, “scientists, woke bureaucrats, woke educators, woke diplomats, woke generals and admirals, woke G-men, and anyone who doesn’t indulge the next Republican president’s every whim (an adaptation to the likelihood of a Trump nomination),” in the commentary titled, “The Far Right Has a Plan to Remake America. They Even Wrote It Down.”
America is at an inflection point, vacillating on a knife’s edge because of Trump, who has tapped into a deep reservoir of grievance, hatred and resentment plans that will be fully unleashed in a second term. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric – mirroring Hitler and Mussolini – is convincing observers that he’s a fascist, to add to his authoritarian bent.

There is no more neutrality in the world. You either have to be part of the solution, or you’re going to be part of the problem.
Now, please correct me if I am wrong, but as a non American, it seems funny to me that one of the points of gun ownership is/was in case of resisting a tyrannical government. And from where I am sitting, it sure does look like angry orange man is getting away with a lot of things that us non orange people would definitely be locked away for.
It seems to me that the judicial system over there is compromised and that’s the beginning of the slippery slope.
Yeah, that’s what people say. But those people also tend to worship cops. The fact is that they can’t wait to help the cops murder their “radical left” (and immigrant) neighbors.
As shitty as that is, and it is shitty, their aren’t enough people raking the threat seriously. And I don’t mean by voting harder for Joe, I mean preparing to protect themselves and their neighbors.
It’s based on a misreading of the 2nd amendment on the one hand, and on cornball cos-play fantasy on the other. The 2nd was intended so that state government could muster militias to put down insurrections such as Shay’s Rebellion, which it was written in specific reaction to.
As for the cos-play bit, there is no universe in which a private militia, no matter how well-armed, is going to have any chance at all of resisting the military power of contemporary US law enforcement. It’s a fucking joke.
