In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.
How can they win?
By getting us to flail over endless individual crimes while missing the big picture.
Everything is connected. Canada, pardoning J6 terrorists, Panama Canal, ICE, Indigenous Americans, Hegseth, LGBTQ+, eating cats, salutes, etc.
All gasoline on smoldering White Nationalism.
Then they force an economic collapse. A nation of starving people with no healthcare and no hope does not resist. It turns to the self-proclaimed, christian-endorsed savior as the only way out.
"I alone can fix it ... with MY well-armed regional nazis and MY prosecution-immune law enforcement."
Here we are on the precipice staring at a tsunami of evil the US has never seen nor contemplated. What do we do?
Do we sit next to Winston, head down, at The Ministry of Truth, or do we ready ourselves as one and fight a battle that only ends with the utter destruction of one side or the other?

On why it's better it's better for children to watch their father beat their mother than to allow the woman to divorce (aka christian values)
This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy, and so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that’s going to make people happier in the long term, but it really didn’t work out for the kids of those marriages. That’s what I think all of us should be honest about, is we’ve run this experiment in real time. And what we have is a lot of very, very real family dysfunction that’s making our kids unhappy.

"Objections and Answers Respecting the Administration"
August 18, 1792
The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion.
When a man unprincipled in private life, desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, despotic in his ordinary demeanor, known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty - when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity, to join in the cry of danger to liberty, to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government, and bringing it under suspicion to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day - It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.
