We're seeing clearly the priorities. People with power are less concerned about our rights and authoritarianism than they are these hapless motherfuckers messing up their military, their economy, and encroaching on a court system designed to protect them and their property.
Let us put it succinctly: this administration is disappearing people. Abducting them from their homes in the middle of the night, picking them up off the street. Denying them due process and shipping them to hellish for-profit nightmare prisons in El Salvador and god knows where else or what else. They have relentlessly erased the existence of gay and trans people, people of color, and continue an all-out assault on women, the poor, and immigrants. The oligarchs who own Trump have shredded as much of the remaining social safety net as possible, set the table for eliminating what scraps remain, and are working deep into the night wiring our systems with technology they alone control, thereby completing their total ownership of production and operation. It is a coup. It isn’t that “SignalGate"... isn’t a big deal. It’s actually a huge deal. What it represents is the shabbiness and criminality of this regime as it continues to consolidate power and control. It shows us that there is nothing these assholes can do that will really rile up the “opposition” other than mess with national security that is programmed to serve the interests of the wealth class and their political representatives. But it is telling that this, and not the total takeover of the state, the authoritarian attacks on our safety and rights, the ceaseless indignities we suffer as our children are failed, as our neighbors are intimidated into silence, as life gets worse and worse for regular people everywhere. And, so, what we get is an authoritarian regime carrying out a coup on behalf of the oligarchs. We see it. We feel it. We know it. And, yet, the people who should be standing and fighting for us tell us everything we need to know as their main concerns, the things they’re willing to voice opposition to, is messing with military intelligence, the stock market, and a judiciary that is, and has always been, focused on protecting their property rights and encroachment on their economic freedom.
