The MAGA Trump Revolution - P.A.G.A.N. - People Against Goodness And Normalcy

This will be the most transformative period and administration in American history, bar nothing.

I have a question for y'all. Do any of you have any feeling whatsoever that you can keep up with the news cycle and the scope of what the administration is currently doing?

I simply can't. MAGA loyalists, appointees, and deputized officials are cloning how the left has operated. Balls to the absolute wall focus, determination, zeal, unabashed and unashamed fealty toward the ideology. On many multiple fronts of action.

Trump is now succeeding because IMO he has done what he failed to do in his first term:

- Pick truly loyal executives and managers, no fucking GD'd rats
- Deputize and empower every proxy to carry out his objectives
- Apparently, place no limits on the actions of his proxies. Don't dial it back, don't avoid confrontation with X, DO go there, etc.

I believe all of that was completely missing from his first term. He did not have the right people and he seemed to rarely delegate in 2016-2020. In Trump's first term he hogged all of the attention but didn't seem to have any proxies speaking on his behalf as he does now on many fronts. Actually his first term disappointed me greatly but I still believed he had the right stuff. He wasn't delegating effectively and that is a key business executive skill.

I believe what has been completely missing from US conservatism for decades is the sense of righteousness, purpose and mission. I think the last "real" conservative in a true blue sense was Barry Goldwater, who was kind of nuts and wanted nuclear war on our terms. Reagan captured some of that spirit but did the "team America world police" thing. And the right was totally hijacked starting with Bush 41 into being the pasty faced, milquetoast forced bipartisan right that we had up until Trump.

Whereas the Democrats have leaned absolutely into all of their causes generally with no major disagreements on large scale platforms. The MAGA right is now mirroring that dedication and sense of mission.

The media was universally mocking and laughing at Trump in his first term as an orange clown. I notice that what the TV news is doing is reporting by selectively picking to cover "spot" challenges to administration actions (IE, highlighting activist judges blocking some action) but never, ever giving any time to the reason why the administration is doing things. Even if they don't want to endorse admin actions they could report what the admin "wants". But they don't even want the ideas articulated clearly. The TV news wants anything the admin does to disappear in a fog of general disapproval.

And there are many lawsuits and threats against the correct culpable people. Supposedly criminal defense attorneys in DC have tripled their rates due to demand, and the biggest search terms in the beltway include "RICO". So the administration is being extremely effective.

Basically what MAGA is now is what it has to be in order to rebalance the country's political order. Dems want to crush anything truly patriotic and good about the US. MAGA wants to absolutely crush the Dem way of thinking.

It is transformative and its being done so quickly its hard to keep up with everything. We live in such a historically important time but I can't keep up with the news either. Its overwhelming.

Trump was sabotaged in his first term. He was an outsider to the wicked ways of DC and picked people in his administration that worked against him. He accomplished a lot despite tremendous opposition from all sides, but he defeated them in the end. Trump 2.0 is wise to the wickedness in DC after what they did to him for years. He has assembled a great team that will undo the damage done to the country over the past four years.

Its back to sanity, but also we get to see how much money the government ripped off from the taxpayers all in the name of DEI or climate change. I think what we'll find out will be hard to take, but bring it on anyway.

I'm surprised by the scale actually. I knew cia etc were making and spending vast sums off the books. But usaid. Looks like the ratio of kickbacks and laundering to legitimate spending is about 10 to 1. I was not ready for that

I'm shocked at how much money has been wasted by our government. Our government is corrupt from top to bottom and its sickening to think this kind of grift was allowed to go on for years. I think it all started in the Obama years.

We seem to have a fourth branch of government, the deep state bureaucracy, that skims money from every other department's budget to fund their DEI/climate fantasies. Its the Democrat progressive agenda. What they've done is criminal and they need to be accountable.
