I'm surprised it took so long. I called it on Sept 12th, 2001.

@georgetakei To be fair despots do tell people what they plan to do. The problem is not with the despot but rather people don't listen

@georgetakei It has *always* had this lurking it its national makeup. Buried in the DNA of the nation. It just took a not particularly hard nudge to energise it.

@georgetakei This response is maddening. No, it hasn't been "sudden." They've been working on this for decades. The first time made it extremely obvious this was what they were going to try, and yes, Project 2025 was explicit. Anyone who's surprised just hasn't been paying attention or, even worse, thought that it wouldn't affect *them*.

@georgetakei one only had to listen to Trump and his sychophants during the election campaign and get a clear idea of the chaos they were going to cause. And they have. It pays to listen.
