to document the rise & fall of the rump regime. I sure hope they’re our historians.

It seems to me that we’re living a modern analogue of the nazi regime - except everything has been occurring much more quickly. Good that rump isn’t nearly as popular as Hitler was among the German people at this point in his rule (before the onset of WWII, that is). These Project 2025 people keep pushing their artificial timeline for takeover regardless of current conditions, and I believe it will create a ‘perfect storm’ of atrocities colliding with one another and sending out reverberations like rogue waves that can’t be ignored or denied by anyone. I keep saying that it’s gonna happen, but froggy hasn’t jumped out of the rapidly warming water yet.
