The plan is to deport everyone, shut down immigration, throw up tariffs, make the Justice Department an American Gestapo, and hold military tribunals against perceived enemies. What fun!
The first administration back in 2017 was an inept, incompetent, do-nothing farrago. The only notable accomplsihment was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which helped add 8 trillion dollars to the debt, and the permanent disappearance of trillions into the pockets of the donor class. Oh, right, and one million dead Americans from mishandling a plague.
Unfortunately, Trump stooges now know where all the levers and switches of power are located, so we can expect a slightly more competent handling of our beast of a government.
The good news is our ship of state cannot turn on a dime. Our government, a globe-spanning kaiju - no strike that, a Lovecraftian horror, is as unwieldy as it is big. Policies put in place years or decades ago are not only still in place, but often, only now being implemented. So, any action from the Trump regime, damaging as it may be to citizens, will take some time. Inertia, and all that. Not to mention the policy of "comply but do not obey" the deep state often uses irregardless of transient personalities.
So the juggernaut of state may not completely or immediately roll over It's citizenry.
There are also policies in place that were Trump-proofed during legislation. The biggest suite of policies are those put in place by Biden which I call The Big Fucking Deal.
Biden managed to get through a massive amount of domestic programs that rival the scope of Roosevelt's New Deal, or Johnson's Great Society. Five trillion dollars of spending for a wide variety of purposes, spread out over every corner of the country, red or blue, but mainly red. Biden has launched large programs to:
"move the country to clean energy sources, to create from scratch or bring back onshore a number of industries, to strengthen organized labor, to build thousands of infrastructure projects, embed racial-equity goals in government programs, and break up concentrations of economic power."
Biden and his advisors did their level best to end the neoiliberal curse that has inflicted this nation since Reagan. (Clinton sure didn't help either).
This isn't just a series of accomplishments, this is a system of the world type of reforms that cannot be quelled for at least a decade - much longer than a tyrant's infantile reign of pouty poopiness.
Trump can try his best to short dick American reality, but the massive Biden wang just cock blocks his small soft penis. (Sorry for the weird dick metaphor).
So buck up. Things will suck badly for awhile, and the stupidity and short-sightedness of the American people will continue to prevail, but there is hope.
