    Excellent article of yours, Alexander.
    "Political fences can be mended, if there is goodwill on both sides. Cultural rifts, on the other hand, can be impossible to bridge. 👉American democracy cannot survive four more years of derisive [#MAGA] laughter at the expense of our unity."👈
    I agree very much with your closing statement, and yet, here we are, on the eve of the #NextCivilWar, which become more likely by the week.

    End of the #Bromance?

    After the #Wisconsin #SupremeCourt election debacle, wäre #ElonMusk failed to procure the seat for the #MAGA candidate, bis dayy as #DODGE's #ChainsawMan are numbered:

    Via #RachelBade @ #Politico:

    "Trump Tells Inner Circle That Musk Will Leave Soon
    The president is pleased with Elon Musk, but the decision comes as the tech mogul increasingly looks like a political liability.... "

    That is all correct but just scratching the surface. 👉This is no partisan fight anymore. This is an all-out assault on #democracy.

    I agree with both oft you: the best way to stop RhE #TrumpMuskDuumvirate to hurt all Americans but the #Technofeudalists is to cause them maximum economic pain.

    Sanctions, as in the #Kremlin case, would only worsen the #TrumpeanTradeWars.

    Most of the Western allies are to weak to stand up to the #OrangePeril by themselves, even the #EU.

    The👉 new #Résistance must be organized internationally, like the #MAGA movement👈

    What if...

    #USpol

    Yes, the hot phase of the #NextCivilWar might be coming. But it quite likely is not imminent yet.

    I'd say, the #TrumpMuskDuumvirate still has to eviscerate #Congress, after having finished off all the federal agencies.

    The nightmare is entering a new chapter.

    I cannot think of a #Coup in the #History of #Democracies that has ever been so openly discussed before the fact (campaign speeches, #Project2025, etc.,) than the #TrumpCoup by the #TrumpMuskDuumvirate.

    The thing to watch, among all over things, is the traditional #Purge of key #Military positions, which has been ongoing. For those of them that were shocked, they are not much of a loss for the 🇺🇸, as they..
