From dread to action: Tracking the Trump-Musk death toll from cuts to USAID

"While he understands that military force and economic coercion can bring recalcitrant countries into line, constitutional constraints at home require more creative tools.

This does not mean that the militarised police, which has roamed US cities since 9/11, has not been mobilised for repression - its record under Presidents George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden speaks for itself - but economic pressure, as recently used against US universities, can often do the job more effectively.

It is this method that the administration has turned to in order to transform universities into venues for conservative propaganda and push them to abandon their purported commitment to liberalism.

Understanding that the US can bomb countries out of existence without needing to indoctrinate them - but cannot do the same to its own population - has made it cheaper and more urgent for the Trump administration to abandon ideological indoctrination abroad while intensifying it at home."
