Let me try posting again: The only thing that can stop this feedback loop is if enough common people protest in the streets consistently and ideally general strike. Historically you need about 3.5% of a population putting sustained pressure on a regime to actually cause real change.

I don't see that happening here unless something fundamental gets fucked like food, water, hospitals, finance. Yes all of those are getting worse, but not bad enough to cause the average housewife in Ohio to make a sign and protest in the streets of their local federal building.

Also before the midterms (in addition to increasing violence and suppressing Democratic voters), the regime is going to liquidate our strategic oil supply, print money to send out checks with Trump's dumb fucking face on it, and other short term stuff to make it look like everything is good to the average idiot who doesn't know anything other than what's right in front of their face. In the long term all of that damages national security and prosperity, but as with Trump, it's only the thin veneer of wealth and appearances that matter.
