@tasket@mas.to I can see how that might make sense to someone who's read a lot of Clancy novels, but I think you give this regime far too much credit. There are conniving aparatchiks among them, but the top leadership are bumbling fools and crazy people who have no idea what they're doing from day to day, never mind tomorrow. Let's revisit this closer to the election, and see if there's any sign that anything's better by then. I would not bet on that.

@wesdym@mastodon.social As I watch events develop, I have to think that a civil society that has been permanently locked out of power will eventually take that look in the mirror and realize that their pretty little faces are the bumbling fools. Every thought they have towards Trump & MAGA is based on conceit, and they can't save the republic when they won't acknowledge that its enemies are both monstrous _and_ intelligent.
