White Christian nationalism isn’t new. It’s a revival—rooted in conquest, slavery, and segregation—dressed up as patriotism and faith. The struggle isn’t only against policies, but against who counts as American.

Trump didn’t just bend the law—he bent the culture. Fairness, freedom, and honesty haven’t disappeared; they’ve been hollowed out and repurposed. What we’re witnessing isn’t just political decay—it’s a struggle over meaning, identity, and civic survival.
The Values We Say We Hold—And the Culture That’s Undermining Them
How Trumpism is not just attacking institutions, but rewiring the cultural meanings Americans claim to hold dear.

Trump didn’t dismantle the state—he repurposed it. Beneath the chaos was a calculated project to strip public institutions, siphon resources upward, and recode extraction as justice. This wasn’t a populist revolt. It was accumulation by dispossession—recast for a post-truth era.
Accumulation by Dispossession, Trump Style
How Trump turned the machinery of the state into a tool of extraction—and why naming the theft is the first step toward repair.

This is a technical article but the key takeaway is that while we are distracted with LA type stuff the fundamentals of our government are being dismantled. It's easy to dismiss all the things that go right and only focus on what doesn't seem to work but we may miss that stuff once it's gone.

As ICE raids and troops become political theater, protests risk serving the script. Lennon warned: once we get violent, they win. Real power lies in refusing the bait—dignity, discipline, even humor—leaving authoritarians with no chaos to exploit.

One hundred days of President Trump. Seventy days of whipsaw trading in financial markets. Thirty-two days of losses. More than $6.5 trillion wiped from the value of public companies. Here's a financial breakdown of the fallout from Trump's chaotic tariff rollout.
