Spoiler: The answer is a little bit, yes but also kind of no.
It’s complicated. www.thebulwark.com/p/was-donald...
Was Trump the Inevitable Endpoint of Conservatism?
A reckoning for conservatives, liberals, and America.

MAGA then: “There is a plot to replace the dollar with a new made-up currency called the ‘Amero’ put together by foreigners.”
MAGA now: “Why can’t I just pay my taxes in Russian memecoins?”
Jade Helm and related conspiracy theories were never "I believe in freedom, so when I heard a tale of federal military ops inside the US, I objected."

The marshmallow-soft drivers of lifted trucks who cannot live without DoorDashed wings are not the same.
people were comparing Big Balls getting carjacked to the Reichstag fire.

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.
Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.
