Timothy Snyder has talked about how anti-Semitism is going to be the weapon of choice for one faction of Trump's court as they position themselves for the post trump transition. JD Vance will pin all of Trump's crazy shit on Miller and then try to pin Miller on Rubio. Don't be surprised if "Israel is responsible for our imperial decline" becomes the post-MAGA "stab in the back theory" of the 2030s... That's why these fuckers LOATHE progressive anti-Zionist Jews like JVP.
Oil is last century's energy source. China has shown the solar path forward. It's just that the US petro/auto-oligarchy cannot fathom any kind of transition.
Trump is not directly controlled by anyone. There's nobody behind the curtain. He's a narcissist being manipulated by Netanyahu (and Putin, and Orban and any other autocrat he looks up to), and who has surrounded himself with a court of amoral grifters with conflicting agendas. He does shit like this not because he has a plan but because it gives him a high, it makes him feel powerful and them he gets bored again.
The most vulnerable people in your country are already being hunted down and put in concentration camps. Helping the fascists keep the lights on is not resistance.
If you are not ready to do political and institutional resistance that actually raises the stakes, you will create the conditions where people will either have to choose complete capitulation to fascism or violent insurrection.
And is there any particular reason why a political crisis should be averted? Any particular reason why the administration would not have to be frantically diverting is attention to these issues for the next couple of weeks until some kind of crescendo results in a resolution?
Resistance means making them have to pay a price every step of the way. Each day they don't have to spend their effort to go on TV to do some petty politicking is a day where they have the bandwidth to spin doctor the events in Minneapolis.
Bullshit. The Republicans are the fascists in power. Being angry at them is the default, nothing to say. The Democrats can be either resisting or enabling. People have every fucking right to be mad at the enablers who should be resisting.
Your comment is the equivalent of saying "yea the crime in my city is caused by criminals and corrupt cops, but it's mostly the criminals, so look why are you eating up the propaganda that you should be mad at the police?".
As non-maga American voters you guys need to be holding your enabler Democrats to account. We, the rest of the world, know the Republicans are beyond your control. Your fucking Democrats though? That's on you.
We need more tech unions and tech coops.
