His second term is roughly 19% complete.
Project 2025 is approximately 48% complete.
ICE is still set to “Government black-bagging.” I’m not looking forward to the “Government death squad” setting, personally.
Make friends with your neighbors and watch each others backs.

I moved away from that exact situation so I feel for you. That sort of isolation from your immediate community feels so fucking terrible.
If you own the property you could act as a safe haven for less isolated, nearby friends/allies/good community. It may feel far-fetched now (or not, sounds like you’re in the shit) but better to plan and prepare now. A spare room in your home, a weather-proofed garage or shed, even some tents and sleeping bags could make a difference for a vulnerable human.

You fucking rule. Remember that. Even if somehow, some way this doesn’t go hot you are still a compassionate, empathetic, loving human being and I’m glad your personal community has someone as caring and alert as you.
FWIW I didn’t mean how complete the corruption can get, I meant how much more obvious it can get. Seems in that respect we’ve been at 100% for a long while now.
That said, I’m not complaining that outlets are reporting on it. The more the merrier.
Agreed. The media hasn’t been entirely compromised yet and reports on some of the more blatant corruption. There’s still absolutely corruption happening in the background (check out the OMB) but the true worry will kick in when the reports stop.
That said large portions of the population have been silo’d into echo chambers. That includes us (the royal us), frankly. The reports we see come from sources conservatives have written off years ago. Same for reports we see coming from sources that we have written off; Fox News et. al.
I believe our grievances with conservative sources are more founded in reality than the grievances conservatives have with “liberal media.” I also believe corporate- and billionaire-controlled social media eclipses traditional reporting in scope and engagement. They are the true arbiters of what is truth or mis-truth and that scares me more than Fox News.
