3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press

Vor ziemlich genau 8 Jahren hat Jörg Meuthen, ehem. Vorsitzender der AfD, gesagt, er sehe in den Innenstädten "noch vereinzelt Deutsche". Die Vorsitzende der CDU, Angela Merkel, hat ihm umgehend widersprochen. Friedrich Merz hat heute die Sprache und Position der AfD übernommen.

Republicans spent the last decade fear-mongering over a 1% wealth tax on $100m of assets and then literally applaud Trump when he enacts what's basically the largest wealth tax of all time.

2/ However, I don't think this trend is fated to continue forever. For these comedians to keep their political audiences happy they basically have to become shills for the admin, and not being a shill for anyone is part of their brand. It's a natural crossroads they can't avoid.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
