Trump's Gold Statue Isn't the Real Story
Resistance Live: Elizabeth McLaughlin; attorney activist
tRump is fucking with everyone....keeping us in a constant; " State of Emergency" and he thus is in control and feels powerful....
Today we’re talking about Trump’s gold statue and why authoritarian movements rely on spectacle, Trump rejecting proposals for peace with Iran, ongoing fallout from the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, and the Oversight Committee interviewing Epstein survivors in Palm Beach tomorrow. More importantly, we’re discussing the deeper strategy underneath all of it — how chaos, distraction, and emotional overwhelm keep people reactive while power continues consolidating underneath the spectacle.
