With the United States Supreme Court and US Congress giving Donald Trump free reign, Elon Musk and Trump have made quick work of dismantling Democratic institutions of the United States, replacing them with a fascist dictatorship run by oligarchs and fueled by white supremacy.
The egocentric duo largely abandoned even the appearance of abiding by the US Constitution and other laws, instead forging on with illegal unwarranted mass arrests of people with brown skin (regardless of whether they are US citizens or immigrants), mass firings, changing national holidays, dismantling every government institution, and taking over and rerouting the US government funds.
Today Musk carried out raids on the US department of Treasury, bringing in teams of mystery men, forcing out top government officials, demanding access to their systems and locked other employee workers out of their systems. Sources say that Musk is working on rerouting all US financial transactions, trillions of dollars, through PayPal, a company he partially owns.
As with all fascist governments, the goal is to funnel as much money and power as possible from the lower classes into the pockets of billionaire & trillionaire oligarchs. This is accomplished by monopolizing businesses government contracts or by outright embezzling funds.
The Trump Musk team are openly white supremacists taking broad strokes to dismantle any program that benefits people who are not white-skinned or acting in a traditional male and female role. Actions include canceling any holiday that have to do with minorities - Jews, Blacks, Asian, Native Americans, Hispanics and LGBTQ are all on Trump and Musk's hit list.
Actions are as petty as painting over positive and inclusive slogans at the FBI and as aggressive as asking employees to rat each other out.
With the Supreme Court and Congress out of the way, Musk & Trumps biggest hurdle will be the military, however the military will likely not be a threat because Republicans, aided by lobbying groups like the Heritage Foundation, have worked for over 40 years on undermining democracy and placing right leaning people in key positions. Any remaining military personnel supporting democracy are swiftly being replaced by Trump, Musk and the other billionaire oligarchs that Trump has put in charge of various institutions.
Musk and Trump threaten global stability and are reaching out to other countries in an attempt to threaten and destabilize other global powers. They continually play to the white supremacist/conservative Christians movements, appearing at numerous Nazi events.
Many Americans have not come to terms with what is happening. Most of them are not familiar with the history of fascism and how it plays out. In addition, many US citizens have been fed lies as well spread lies for decades and are very disconnected from the reality of their loss of freedoms and financial stability.
Conservatives I spoke with this week were unaware of the extent of Trump's actions and in disbelief when informed about them. Instead they seemed, on the one hand, delusionally unaware, saying, "Things will get better." And on the other hand, this was often said with a sinister smirk, meaning that many of them know and agree with Trump's white supremacy and goals of becoming a dictator, ignorant of the fact that fascist dictatorships affect all citizens negatively.
Some Christians I spoke with had similar methods of coping with their inaction and disastrous future - "We are in the final days. Jesus is coming soon."
What's even more shocking is that out of all the political and economic leadership there is in the United States that predominant opposition has not arisen yet. Part of the issue is that within the two-party system where Democrats have been considered the opposite of conservatives, most Democratic leaders have bought into the lie that greed / capitalism is a noble endeavor. Most seem oblivious to the truth that unregulated capitalism is a dictatorship.
Still one wonders, why hasn't a truly motivated progressive candidate come forward long before this, campaigning with the same enthusiasm that Trump did, holding near weekly rallies around the nation? And when will that take place? Or will it never take place and the United States slip into the dictatorship Trump has modeled after Putin's takeover of Russia?
And how do you fight such unprecedented wealth, where oligarchs can buy all the media outlets in the nation, monopolize media outlets, own their own militaries, buy their own countries?
And when will the American people stand up? At some point they will, but how much pain will they have to endure first?
And how will effective opposition organize in a country that is so large that it takes nearly a week for many of the citizens to drive to the nation's capital? In many states it takes nearly a day to drive just to the State Capitol.
7 POINTS OF HOPE:
1. Although oligarchs control the majority of media outlets they do not control all media outlets and well have difficulty doing so.
2. The United States does not have a national healthcare system, which makes the situation for most citizens of the United States even more desperate than the state of many oppressive regimes around the world. Combine that with outrageous housing, food, transportation, education costs and you have a ticking time bomb.
This is the real reason we are in this situation in the first place, why a man found liable of sexual assault, known to frequent an island known for underage sex trafficking, known to have created numerous fraudulent businesses and scammed people out of incalculable sums of money, who's been found guilty of over a hundred crimes and felonies somehow made it into the public office. Even now Americans are still struggling to understand how deeply they are enslaved to the billionaire class and that the American dream they've been sold is a lie and unachievable for 98% of them.
3. Trump's actions are chaotic, egocentric, and easily manipulated. The more extreme things become, the more vulnerable Trump and his allies will become.
4. Trump is nearly 80 years old and mortal.
5. All dictatorships eventually fall.
6. Oligarchs blame immigrants for The United States' problems, but the truth is there are significantly more white people in poverty in the United States than minorities. US citizens have the opportunity to recognize that locking up every single immigrant will not change that fact. Conservatives oligarchs recognize that if all ethnicities were united against their greed, oligarchs would stand no chance.
7. Taking small actions makes a big difference. Not believe the lies, calling out the truth, demanding the truth, actively resisting, even in small ways, all make a difference and lead to positive change.

I was wondering when they would cross the line to an actual dictatorship. I think that was it.

As a tiny, tiny part of his disgrace, Nixon had a list of enemies. Apparently now it's a requirement to work for the administration.

Why is he able to do this? He is not an elected official. He has no legal standing to do this. If i were doing this, the police or Feds would have me arrested before I even left the building! Why the hell isn't anyone doing anything. When I say anyone, I mean people in power.

I've already seen the movie about Q3&4 of 2025. It's called "Civil War". Nick Offerman was a weird casting choice to play Trump.

I never would've imagined it would happen this fast.
But when I saw the tally and Trump won... it was a very ominous feeling. I knew something like this could happen. I just didn't think it would being so rapidly, so overt.
Where is leadership to oppose this? We need capable people to lead resistance.

It truely is amazing how bad things have to get before "good" starts fighting back, instead of blaiming each other.

Since all of this is illegal then what of the democrats senators doing about this? Why aren’t they suing or raising hell?

They ain't doin' SHIT about it.

They are doing those things but those things take time. And they're also a minority so they will have little effect. And the court systems are in Trump's favor. Also Elon Musk and Trump are carrying out a coup at this moment. That means they are ignoring all the laws in order to take over the government. At this point it would take a general to challenge Trump probably but it seems like most of pro-democracy generals have already been replaced.
