Steven Miller is NOT the architect of 2025!
This article looses any credibility almost immediately.
Dude is hella dangerous and giving him MORE power speaks to how Trump (or his handlers, really) will play this massive repudiation by the American people.
They’ll just double down on the “strong” stuff they’ve been doing since their first day in office. Terrorize people they don’t like to look stronger and scarier than they are.
This makes the Iranian “attack” that is being talked about more likely in my mind… probably a bunch of other stupid stuff like actually pulling out of NATO and helping China invade Taiwan.
The Heritage Foundation, far right christian nationalist terrorist group at this point, was behind all the USAID cuts and attacks on our democracy. They also push the idea that China is a raging lunatic on the verge of attacking Taiwan. The heritage bigots use immigration, China and religion to get inside the heads of unsuspecting citizens who give up their rights and withdraw from global trade deals and treaties. Miller is smart but also a raging lunatic with messed up personality traits on full display. Miller can go away and become irrelevant unlike the heritage foundation with roots going back to the 70's while enjoying massive funding from around the world.
Exactly.
This isn’t to say they Miller-Trump can’t absolutely wreck us in massive ways, but Miller is much too “acute” and offensive to really make much of a “dent.”
The Heritage Foundation, on the other hand is a straight-up cancer that is actively killing us, though some of us tend to ignore it or embrace is as part of “who we are” without realizing how its end goal is to absolutely create a society that has no place for us, as ordinary people, other than as chattel for the rich and powerful.
Yeah I read until that point and stopped. Good grief.
