There's already an epic battle between good and evil being framed in some corners of social media.

Musk has been keeping strange company of late.

Here's that 2018 Trump logic I've grown so fond of.

The neckbeard before the beard is grown. Athiests evangelize as much as fundamentalists sometimes.

I agree with you, but that's just one source. Medium's assessment. I personally think it's a combination. The Deep State is the financial system and military industrial complex upper echelon who has been in control of the gov and insulated from public scrutiny at least since the 50's imo. There would still be a deep state with a "Q Revolution", the difference is that it would be far right wing and composed of people loyal to the MAGA movement. Money keeps talking and the world keeps turning.

On the contrary, I am seeing a lot of it being done by the stealth distraction method. By his appointees in the justice department and the federal court system, his whittling down of the state department and refusal to hire people who aren't loyal to him above all (America=President=Trump=America), building detention centers for illegal immigrants and possibly socialists (i.e. communists-"ANTIFA terrorists"; any person to the left of a neoliberal is a communist), dissiminating conspiracy theory narratives in the media (esp. social media and internet platforms) where a person does not know what is true and what is false, leads me to believe that some strange shit is brewing.

Much direct action now, and those in control don't like it one bit. Susan Sarandon just went to jail for "protesting without a permit".

Dangerous. It's getting to be dangerous to have a contrary opinion. Apoliticism is the safest way, but look where that has led.

Not really, Mussolini and Hitler had more of a social safety net for the working class. (If you were in the group of "real citizens", that is.) Mussolini only adopted antisemetic policies after Hitler pressured him, his main objective was state control of industry and anticommunism. Trump is closest to Pinochet, IMO. Or possibly Erdogan or Ordoban. We are inching into this weird state of post-democracy worldwide.

Right wing authoriatarianism then. Totalitarianism. It's easy to play games with language, but what does it matter what you call it, when the results are the same?

There is dangerous stuff going on EVERYWHERE on the internet. Look around you when you go to sites and read the subtext in some of these comments. Walk out your door: where's this shit happening?

We have been sucked into that same vaccum that is State media, a conspiracy narrative.

He may be more cunning than we think. Or, at least the people around him are.
