re: Uspol-adjacent
@hummingrain *hug* Don't forget, intimidation is an explicit part of their strategy. How many times have we watched Trump puff up, hoping to scare American liberals away from a fight that he can't actually win?
Brother, remember this stubby-fingered son of a bitch can't even get his wall built-- something that was supposedly central to his "beliefs."
He's gotten his base support out of this already. It would be VERY Trump to fold & change the subject once there's pushback.
re: Uspol-adjacent
@hummingrain Heh, oops, sorry! It's early and large chunks of my brain are non-operational, and my timeline is flooded with Title IX stuff this morning.
Same principle, though-- the opposition is good at sounding puffed up and scary, but I don't think much of this is going to outlast Trump. Genuinely scary and hostile as they are, I've noticed this very encouraging trend of these people scattering the moment they have to actually BUILD anything or COOPERATE with one another...
