I write about politics under the nym Cato.

I think the immigration stuff is simmilar to FDR's Executive order 9066 than the Holocaust. It's fucked up, but not the same thing.

Nationalizing Intel was actual fascism.

He's authoritarian too, but I'm not sure how much he can vet away with legally yet. It's too soon. He has already over ruled one Supreme court decision. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.

Trump is not Hitler. He's like a mix between FDR, Mussolini, and Rowdy Rodney Piper.

Funny how DOGE seemed to miss this.

The US can't afford to monitor the air quality of workers in coal mines, Medicare, or add a single sat to the strategic bitcoin reserve; but they can print fiat bucks to hodl a military parade and to bomb Iran.

I agree with the premise, I just think they're barking up the wrong tree.

It looks like Trump is trying to create an autocracy, but the real autocracy is the Federal Reserve.

Vote red, vote blue, but no matter who...The same person is in charge of the Federal Reserve. We have a financial autocracy.

The good news is that the Supreme Court appears to agree that this shit is unconstitutional.

The Trump administration is trying to become an autocracy, but our courts are preventing it so far.

As long as the administration does not remove power from the court, the Republic will hold up.

If the court falls, We have a bigger problem, but I think there is less than a 30% chance of that happening within the next 4 years.

Sorry about confusing the issue with sats. I was trying to be silly, but failed. 🤣

Make babies of slaves great again.

No. Either the courts protect human rights, or we defend them with anarchy.(stacking sats is only one part of that defense)

That's the real threat to the Republic in my opinion and it looks like the way it will fall.

I read some of his blogs.

He makes me uncomfortable because on one hand, I'm all for spending cuts. I suspect these policies will keep my family rich for several generations. I have also thought it's almost impossible to stop a US autocracy for about a dozen years.

I just hoped we could preserve things like due process with something like agorism, but freedom is unpopular.😒

Abraham Lincoln was against autocracy. The new Republicans are

ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS AGAINST AUTOCRACY.

THAT'S WHY THE PARTY IS NAMED REPUBLICAN, BECAUSE LINCOLN SUPPORTED A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

LINCOLN DID NOT WANT THE PRESIDENT TO HAVE THE POWER TO DECLARE WAR BECAUSE THIS GIVES THE PRESIDENT WARTIME POWERS.

LINCOLN WANTED POWER TO BE DECENTRALIZED.

THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY IS ALL IN ON AUTOCRACY.

LAWS PASSED BY CONGRESS, SIGNED INTO LAW BY A FORMER PRESIDENT, AND UPHELD BY THE SUPREME COURT CAN NOW BE OVERTURNED VIA EXECUTIVE ORDER!

I agree, the laws are insane. In my personal opinion, code is speech and according to the 1st amendment Congress shall make no law...yada, yada, yada; but they did make a law banning speech.

Again, I think the TikTok ban should be unconstitutional.

It's not up to me however. The Supreme Court ruled otherwise.

The fact that the executive branch now just writes executive orders to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling is bat-shit fucking crazy. That's why I created this nym. Seems like you had a simmilar idea.😂
