Thanks Jim for this excellent article. I'm trying to imagine what the take down or take over of the Trump regime will look like, physically. Unprecedented since the Revolutionary War but I believe it can and will happen.

Key lesson on why We the People must #RESIST and reject these intolerable sociopaths NOW with our accelerating nationwide courage, tenacity, hope & confidence. Keep acting ever stronger together via Mobilize.us and other peaceful mass actions, boycotts, political demands, organizing, etc. WE have the moral authority to act, not them:

“The Thiels, Yarvins, Antons and Vances of the world are motivated by the same core amorality as the white men who committed each recent act of “political violence”—nihilism. The movement they participate in is not devoted to a constructive vision for America promoted through the political system. It is devoted to a fundamentally destructive vision—the intentional conversion of the United States into a chaotic, lawless wasteland from which they can build a utopian white-dominated future.

Fundamental Flaw

Trump and his co-conspirators are clearly making a final move toward permanent autocracy. They think the conditions are as favorable as they will ever be for enforcing their vision on 330 million Americans. They believe that the power they have collected through infiltration, cheating, and psychological warfare is enough to cement themselves as the permanent elite.

I disagree.

The problem with their plan is both strategic and tactical. Strategically, they have vastly underestimated the still largely dormant power of the American people, and they have vastly overestimated the ability of the shambolic group of clowns they installed in the government to effectuate a full takedown of democracy.“

Wow, what an essay. Knowledge is power. I've said this many times and will say it again-- thank you Jim for your tireless, brilliant work. You model two of the top qualities needed now--strength and perseverance. We will not give up, we will never surrender, we will prevail. Long live Ukraine! Long live the United States!

Does it seem like we might have to catch ourselves and ask if we are debating technical details of events that we believe really happened literally only because we saw them on a screen or someone only relayed a narrative?

On what basis do we really believe there was an event in a facility to which we have no access, executed with leftover ammo from the UVU evidence room? Because Vikings?

On what basis do we believe a grainy video of a flash over a boat off the coast of a far away country is more than an editing room project?

I totally agree with you on every point. You are hitting every nail with a sledgehammer.

I sure wish your articles could be picked up by large outlets and read by everyone. This story should be all over the headlines, but it's not anywhere in sight. I posted something about Curtis Yarvin to facebook once and was told it was Alex Jones level conspiracy b.s. There is so much nonsense out there, nobody has any credibility anymore with anyone other than their tribe.

I so agree with you, Lorraine. I learned of Jim's Substack from watching the Kyle Kulinski Show. Kyle is doing a great job of covering the administration's insanity and telling it like it is, but it's not enough. Where is everybody?

It’s frustrating when people don’t get how brilliant Jim is. But then I remember how long I had been reading and following before I could see the logic and consistency of his theories. I’m trying to think of a good preface for when I share. Sometimes like: “Keep reading—eventually you will gather enough pieces to see how Jim has accurately solved the puzzle. “ Edit. I should say “multiple puzzles.” 😁

Truth is stranger than fiction. The pitiful job of the mainstream media is one of my pet peeves and has been for years now. I worked in TV news for 25 years and watched it go down the drain. Today, with social media and microtargeted propaganda, most people (who pay little attention) don't stand a chance of knowing what is going on. We would not have Trump if we had a decent news media. America has more propaganda than most people realize.

I'm late reading your essay,Jim. I guess I saved the Best for Last. This was the most elaborate, in-depth study of trump and his Regime of late, that I've read. Thank you, for making me sweat a little while read, because It was so intense. Thank you, and will reStack ASAP 🙏💔

Red Caesar, I dont think so. Maybe Red C_nt. I have to apologize for using such bad language, but this just gets me so bad!

I read about all of this roughly 1 year ago. It sounded so scary I wouldnt even share it with my sister. Most of these actors are from places other than the U.S. and their entitled and narcissism just makes me sick and angry.

You never cease to floor me with your articles, Jim. My God, breathtaking work. Thank you for being the most unique voice of the resistance. Few can encapsulate what we are living through better than you. We are all wiser because of your keen outlook and analysis.

And I refuse to believe this shit-show won't come crashing down on these fascist clowns.

I think they've all overplayed their hands and as you said, underestimated our collective power and growing resistance.

We just have to hang on and keep fighting.

Speaking of resistance, I just saw One Battle After Another. Fucking fantastic! And super timely. HIGHLY recommend it. PTA has done it again.

Jim, those are definitely the scariest words tRump has ever spoken, and given the vast volume of his hateful spewing, that’s saying a lot. I sure hope you're correct that Americans will not take this lounging on the sofa. I ain't going down without a fight, which I fear might turn physical before this Insanity begins receding.

I think you are absolutely right.

I'd add, Moldbug has overestimated his own perceived intellect, as superhuman, to which is actually more subhuman.

Trump will light the match.

It's too bad that the 6 Pillars of Tyranny don't get that, whatever amount they were paid, will make them amount to greeters at the Biofuel Superstore and nothing more. Theocracy is one thing. What the else is ain't in most people's field of conception.

If more knew of this, how that info gets to them, and how it is easily transformed into a narrative of MAGA like megaphonic RED ALERT, would help.

I don't know how but I sure have my ideas and wish I had a platform, a trillion space bucks and my own "purity of heart"..haha, to get it out.

One thing is for certain....The upcoming shutdown, if Dems show up, is to make sure the 330M are bombarded with the screed of TRUTH as to why it is happening. That would be a start, I opine.

It is a HUGE opportunity but only if done correctly.

Thanks, Jim!!!

Thank you for this excellent clarification of what is behind The 47-Git's & his close advisors machinations: layer upon layer of these fascists of various groups - Techno Nazis, Christian Nationalists, KKK types, Misogynistic Fascists, LGBQT Fascists General Purpose Fascists are swirling around trying desperately to destroy our Democracy...Instilling Fear & propaganda will only go so far. 75,017,613 people voted for the Harris-Walz ticket... and of those who did vote for the Harris-Walz ticket will never lay down and allow This abomination of a administration to end our Democracy.

There are a lot of folks who didn't bother voting at all, maybe their comfort level will start to take a bit of a hit and wake them the FU.
