  2. The elite Counter-Coup efforts, the faction of the 1% that doesn't want Trump Fascism, is now centralising cross coordinating its own power. This is also not good for anyone - even if we applaud Trump's twitter downfall.

    John Robb tweets:
    'Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, etc. all acting in concert.

    Companies that collectively control the information flow for 3 billion people

    Companies, without which, modern life is impossible.

    These companies have just announced they are in control of the US political system

    This isn't the corner grocer capitalism our parents grew up with.

    This is a networked world. These companies have a stranglehold on small business formation/success. Our access to the public square Our ability to find/get a job. Our access to personal communications.'

  3. at the end of the US Civil War, there never was a proper permanent disempowerment of the Confederate elites.

    This was the failure of the then Republican Party (irony much??).

    The same problem will plague the Biden era.

    Elected people in Congress that plotted the violent overthrow of it.

    How do you purge these terrorist sympathisers while keeping the system intact?

    you cannot.
