1/ Bad news on the horizon for Trump and his people. I think I know what's going on, but you may not like what I have to say.
Trump's disastrous foreign policy, his equally disastrous domestic policy, his disastrous financial policy with the tariffs, turning the White House into a gilded palace, ignoring both national and international law (including the Constitution), Trump's ties to Big Tech and Big Pharma, the crypto scams of Trump and his sons, his visible physical and cognitive decline, his authoritarian and fascist nature, all of this falls under: sometimes you can't tell the public, you must show them.
Let me run a few Q posts by you.
Remember the (+6) post from 2019? Back then, we were thinking the swamp would have been fully drained by 2025. Instead, the swamp has only become more visible. Thanks to Donald J. Trump, who is going through his final 'successful' year in office. 2025 is the year in which he initiated his own downfall and he will take the Republican Party down with him. 2026 will be even more painful.
Saving Israel for last. Very specific reason not mentioned a single time. The GOP is the de facto American wing of Netanyahu's Likud Party. Israel is saved for last because its most important lifeline is the GOP. Before Israel can be taken down the GOP must be taken down, because without Republican military and economic support Israel is unable to survive.
What we cannot be told and must be shown is that the polarized political system is a doubleheaded dragon. The left and right are both totalitarian, but if I had to make an estimation of which of the two heads is the most dangerous I'd say right now the right is.
Trump is behaving like an oligarch who is part of an old boys network of similar fat cats. The idea of rich bastards at the top engaging in crony capitalism who bleed the people dry and roll out a police state is... a leftist view. These past two years we have seen the left being right and the right being wrong. The left was always right about the Israel-Palestine issue, which is why Netanyahu is going all in on the American right.
Trump is rolling out pure, unadulterated rightwing fascism. And this is far more dangerous than any authoritarianism coming from the left. I'm well aware of Soros funding Antifa, BLM and other unsavory leftist groups, but at least the left will take to the streets to protest against the status quo. People on the right usually don't engage in protests, because a conservative actually conserves the status quo. This is why we see so many Trump lovers justify every single thing he does or says, even when he contradicts his own campaign promises.
This head of the dragon is now displaying its true nature, which is: might makes right. What kind of real danger does a citizen militia of skinny vegan soy boys pose compared to well-trained and well-equipped army troops active on American soil? Seems to me the right poses a far greater threat to American democracy and the Constitution. The Founding Fathers built in several provisions against the militarization of the State, both at home and abroad. Continued funding of Israel is unconstitutional. A domestic police state is unconstitutional.
Though at the top there is hardly any difference between both heads of the dragon, we are seeing leftwing voters, particularly young people, rising up against the oligarchs. Rightwing voters are perfectly fine with the establishment, as it's their nature to conserve the status quo. They gloat when the might of the State is enforced against 'libs' and when muslims and latinos get deported and disenfranchised. They love bringing up the Constitution but look the other way when innocent people are kidnapped and manhandled by masked ICE agents in broad daylight and held without charge or trial. The right is racist, colonialist and imperialist and Trump is giving them exactly what they want.

2/ The threat coming from the right is far greater because people on the right don't rebel. Thus the right must be dismantled by showing it in its most ugly form. Rightwing dictators are clownish figures, which is what you see in Trump as well. They create a cult of personality and surround themselves with sycophants, something Trump is also doing. Most Trump voters are even yesmen themselves.
The leftwing rebellion against Biden on account of his pro-Israel stance is a sign that hopes of a better future rest with the left. It's time for a popular revolt and sadly there are no rightwing revolutionaries. The American left is experiencing a populist revolution with fresh, young leaders. As of January 1st, 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a socialist muslim (that's a double score on the rightwing hate bingo card) gets to lead America's most important city. Trump was so enamored with him because he secretly supports this development.
Trump is a boomer playing boomer politics for a boomer audience. There are zero young hopefuls within his political movement, it's an evolutionary dead end. He even thwarts his own younger VP by suggesting he can run for a third (unconstitutional) term in 2028. 31-year-old Charlie Kirk was the right's only new hope and prior to his death Charlie began turning on Israel, which is why he got killed. This closed off all avenues to a brighter future and it's leading the American right to extinction.
2026 will be the year in which ever more people will turn on Trump, to the point where it will no longer be sustainable. Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation is a sign of things to come. The No Kings protests will grow larger - the last edition already drew 7 million people. Increasingly, rightwingers will join the protests. Calls for Trump's resignation or impeachment will increase, from citizens and politicians alike. First the Democrats will attack him, then the Republicans will try to oust Trump as well because he's become too much of a burden on the party.
It's no longer a question of if but when. The midterms will be a slaughter, but we may even see the fall of Trump before then. Less than a year into his presidency, Trump's downfall has begun to snowball and it's about to become an avalanche. And with Trump the greatest danger to American democracy and even world peace will implode - the Republican Party. A bitter pill to swallow for Trump fans and loyalists, but the end is not for everyone.
