I'm not ready to talk about the sci-fi novel I'm writing in too much detail yet, but here's a meme about what it's inspired by without any further context
We are going to win, they break upon us, etc.
I can't even fathom what January will look like, except probably very bad for the Trump regime.
Absent a major black swan event, I don't see a path to power consolidation for them at this point.
For a number of reasons, not just Epstein.

The timetable evidently has been accelerated.
What's your new predication for when we get to January?
I'll just throw a random one out there: They do release the Epstein files but only after Trump had time to preemptively pardon himself and he tells his base he had to cause it was a Dem smear job.

A COUPLE OF EMAILS IS NOT A WHOLE NEWS STORY SAYS A FORMER NYT REPORTER
I CANNOT RIGHT NOW MAN, I AM CRASHING THE FUCK OUT. LOOK AT HOW STUPID THESE ASSHOLES THINK YOU ARE! THEY THINK WE ARE ALL TROGLODYTES!

The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

America is not full. But an array of right-wing activists and commentators want to deport tens of millions of people.
For them, it’s not just about illegal immigration but the idea that not everyone can really become an American.

The America First solution to the housing crunch isn’t a 50-year mortgage. It’s 100+ million deportations.

i don’t study fascism and i’m not fucking leaving, this country belongs to us, not them, fuck you
Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump.
The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

I'd normally consider this an example of "Everyone Is Twelve" Theory, but I don't think there are many twelve-year olds who even know what MySpace is, let alone would find a parody of it funny.
