    The facade is broken. The goal of the Trump administration is to tear down the last scraps of democracy standing in their way. He’s escalating and we are so close to an all out war, but there’s also a reason this entire thing has been dragged out for as long as it has. There’s a reason he hasn’t just sent the military and Palantir drones into cities (yet). He needs at least some corporate support to survive and corporations still need people to continue to buy their shit. This is literally why he is starting a war in Venezuela, and taking over the Venezuelan state run oil company that until now was collecting 61% of Chevron’s profits.

    He has tanked the economy, and he is hemorrhaging support like he slashed his own wrists in a warm bathtub. Encouraging people to help him out by officially kicking off the civil war for him and giving him exactly what he wants is about as shitty and transparent as encouraging somebody to go ahead and leave their finger prints on the gun you know will be used to frame them.
