It's all theater --

granted the base magats would love that, but there are really 2 major things going on --

1) tax breaks for billionaires & roll back any and all things that help workers - expect attacks on O/T, Unions, Working Conditions, etc.

2) Christian Nationalism - the billionaires do not care as long as they get their tax breaks, so this is the Project 2025 roll out to make the base happy. It will be all Christian, all the time w/these folks. It will be very bad for women.

the rest is entertainment for magats - to keep them busy - and so they keep fighting everyone.

The one thing that can stop this is the working classes uniting - there are far more workers than owners - so they will continue to drive their wedges. Same as it ever was ..

eta - on top category - they will also try to privatize anything they can to make money off it. Expect that attack to be on social security.
