Summary

It’s time to reengage with politics as Trump prepares to take office again.

Unlike 2017, Trump now has a more compliant establishment, streamlined strategies, and influential allies like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos.

Concerns include his administration’s potential for sweeping authoritarian measures, such as Project 2025, and media normalization of his actions.

Vigilance is necessary to counter efforts to dismantle democratic institutions.

    Biden was 78 years old when he started his presidency. Trump is 78 year old now. We shouldn’t be worried by what Trump is going to do. He is like Regan at the end of his presidency: so out of it that everyone around him just did whatever they felt like they can get away with. We should be worried about his advisors and people actually signing the bills.

      I wager there’s a drunk president with his finger over the button incident by age 80. if he isnt dead. (in this case its dementia not drunk)

      He is mentally cooked, and the stress of actually having to do the job he’s been yapping about for 4 years in his advanged age, will accelerate the dementia.

        Trump is so clueless and lazy that he probably doesn’t experience job-related stress. Just rage and narcissistic injury.
