The US government is attempting a coup right now: Rolling back democracy, weakening US influence around the world to leave vast power vacuums, weakening the US internally, accelerating environmental breakdown, and clearing the path for wholesale privatization of the country.
I would still put some trust in civil society, in the judicial system and in state/city governments, but the federal government is completely corrupted.
While I see what you mean, the orange rapist and his clique is not the same thing as the entirety of the tens of thousands of faithful public servants.
“Luckily,” one of Project 2025’s pillars is removing career public servants with a spine and replacing them with MAGA loyalists.
And this is already happening: last time I checked 75k public servants had agreed to the layoff “offer” from the Fork in the Road mail. On the other hand, the Project 2025 people have been selecting a queue of new people via their own process since the latter half of last year. And of course, all the most important leading positions have already been replaced.
I trust the US government way, way more than putlers fascist mafia.
Where “way more” is “somewhat” versus “not even if hell froze over”
