Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st.
He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power.
Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
