    There’s no shadow to our plots. They laid out the plans in project 2025 and they constantly brag about what they want to do. The only surprise is when Trump decides to give a shit about something and that’s not plotting, it’s just him being stupid

      We have literally couped countless countries for control of their resources and tested drugs on our citizens without their knowledge or consent. Our CIA agents are regularly caught meddling in other peoples affairs. Amongst many other awful things. You are correct that the Trump administration is not so shadowy about their plots (as far as we know) but American has a long standing tradition of shadowy plots.

          The tiki torches aren’t really part of the shadowy plots so much as they are secondhand effects of the staggering inequality. The top-heavy hierarchy of wealth demands its attendant true-believers, who also tend to have other inequitable feelings about how things ought to be.
