Monitor me all you want. Monitor me while you suck my balls.
What are you going to do about it? Nothing.
You think the trump regime is going to do nothing with a list of people who are opposed to the crimes of the rich?
Violent autocrats love lists of people to persecute and kill. That's been a hallmark of trump style regimes since at least sulla in the roman republic.
I think trump has some pretty dark plans but infighting and a focus on drama will derail a lot of them like it did last time. True authoritarianism is too complex for his cabinet to pull off.
That's a very optimistic position.
I think it overestimates the competence of fascists past and underestimates people like Leonard Leo who orchestrated the fascist take over of the courts and has publicly committed to doing the same to every major industry and institution.
Either way we'll find out I guess.
Far more scary than Trump would be a president with the same ideas he espouses but who actually is a true believer (rather than somebody who just says what he thinks people want to hear), competent and persistent in taking his promises all the way (instead of a flip-flopper like Trump).
It's the reason why the Democrat Party going even more to the Right is dangerous: it's keeps the Republicans in Fascist territory and sooner or later they'll produce America's very own Hitler rather than "just" Trump.
To some level I agree but at the same time we shouldn’t dismiss the threat potential
Certainly not. We need to throw up roadblocks wherever we can.
The threshold is creeping anyway, may as well dip into accelerationism.
