After the pussy hat march of 2017, I thought women were our best hope. Misogyny was almost the official theme of Trump's life. The sick fucks of the right, found ways to rope them in with fear talking about the dangerous homo teachers grooming children for sex. Add the terror of transexuals entering the bathrooms at public schools, and you get the panic you look for. You can drape that in the xenophopia of the raping cat-eaters flooding our country.
The thing I didn't recognize as so dangerous was the Christian Nationailists. Kingdom issues. Baby murder. Sex change abductions.
Another that I did not anticipate was the ease with which Musk, a non governmental agent, could seize control of the purse strings.
I didn't anticipate the specifics of the absurd reasoning that the Treasury office just, gasp, pays out as ordered without exercising veto power which they don't have. Everybody would know this, but we haven't bothered to teach and learn a lot about the republic, it seems.
Nothing blocks the way. Nothing.
