Trump and co are actively hostile to the US government though. There have been entire books written about how compromised he is. He's the perfect insider threat example: in debt to foreign powers, selfish and looking to make personal money, lies about his dealings, easily temptable with honeypot women (and Epstein girls, fucking sick), no allegiance or any form of duty to country or anything bigger than himself because he's a massive nihilist narcissist.

Really really scary times for anyone in America.

See, that's the thing. I always grew up with the phrase "Don't blame on malice what can be explained by incompetence".

But at a certain point, IS it incompetence anymore??? At this point it's starting to feel very very deliberate.

They are hostile, their mission is to destroy us

I think we're headed towards a Troubles type scenario. Like a decade or more of stochastic terrorism, some organized groups, lots of violent suppression by the government, and further corporate capture of the state. I guess that's just the fascist end goal.
