all signs are pointing to this - that these guys are not willing to be out of power soon.
from the white house redecorations, to the trump 2028 hats, to the gerrymandering going on in many states. capture of judiciary, suppression of free speech etc. the 'us' vs 'them' mentality.
They can not leave power or they will all br prosecuted. They are all very motivated to work together and remain in power. It cant last forever. Individually they are too selfish, short sighted, and incompetent to rule for long.
They might have dreams of a 100 year 4th reich, but its not going to happen.
They are just reaching for punishments that they think will stick. Removing someone’s citizenship for speech is too far outside of the overton window right now. But perhaps they can persecute political opponents this way. It’s a game of inches over many years.
They want people that disagree to stay so that an example can be made of them. The people who voted them the regime into office want to see those people suffer.
False equivalence. Remind me what political power Unicorn Riot actually possesses compared to the party currently controlling the federal government. Unicorn riot hasn’t “done” anything because they don’t run the government.
Statements or actions taken by some fringe group are in no way equivalent to statements and actions taken by the actual government—which is currently being run based on fringe right wing ideology.

Just like my wife treats my wishes.
It’s very obvious at this point that they are absolutely sure that they aren’t going to be “out of power” any time soon.

I think it would be unprecedented in the US, and over the years the red flags have been increasing, so the signs aren't good - but not there yet.
