Americans’ Mixed Reaction to the Trump/Musk Coup

To the reader who sent the meme at left, I respond as follows:

A few of those who voted for Trump have realized that they made a mistake, but there is certainly no avalanche.  The president’s supporters still deeply revere the values we see in Project 2015, and that applies to both the MAGA lowbrows and the amoral rich: the dismantling of the federal government,  the consolidation of power in the executive branch, unquestioned loyalty to Trump, the  appointment of unqualified (though loyal) hacks to key cabinet positions, reprisals against those who supported prosecution of Trump for attempting to overthrow the U.S. government, the criminalization of abortion, white supremacy, environmental deregulation, the defunding of public education, and certainly the abolition of wokeism/DEI.

In terms of apathy, I have to agree that many Americans believe they are powerless to turn any of this around.  For example, a huge portion of this country has turned off cable news in a desperate attempt to preserve its sanity.
