We’re Doing This Wrong—It’s Time to Wake Up and Fight

This isn’t about the economy. It’s not about the courts. It’s not about policy. Trump’s regime is dismantling democracy in real time—here’s what we need to do.

Trump is in the White House.
Elon Musk is running the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—which we all know is just the Department of Government Extinction.

And yet, somehow, too many of us still act like this is business as usual.

We're still pretending this is about policies.
Still pretending the courts are going to "save" us.
Still acting like this is just another Republican administration—not the full-scale fascist takeover it's always been.

Let’s be clear:
✅ It was never about the economy.
✅ It was never about the "forgotten working class."
✅ It was never about draining the swamp.
✅ It was never about the price of eggs.

🚨 It was always about tearing down anything progressive, dismantling the government, and replacing democracy with a fascist regime wrapped in fake-Christian nationalism.

This article is going to hit hard. Because before we can fight back, we need to fully understand what we’re up against.

This isn’t just doom and gloom though—it’s a call to action. We’ll get to what we have to do at the end, but first, we must face some hard truths.

If we don’t, we’ll keep playing by rules that no longer exist—while they burn everything to the ground.

The Media’s Obsession with “Norms” Is Not Just Useless, It’s Dangerous

The media—legacy or “independent”—still hasn’t caught up. They think pointing out every broken norm, every legal violation, every constitutional overreach is doing their job. But here’s the thing: when fascists are in charge, norms mean nothing.

It's like sitting on the train tracks, narrating the approach of the train, describing its speed, color, and make, while refusing to admit that the train is going to run you over unless you do something.

Elon Musk is dismantling the government piece by piece through DOGE. They’ve hijacked the Treasury’s payment systems, fired career federal employees, gutted USAID, and replaced watchdogs with loyalist hacks—the courts have slowed it down, but we’ll get to that shortly. They’ve turned the entire federal government into a stress test, and you’re still busy chronicling it like it’s some academic exercise.

If you’re just a stenographer to our collapse without taking action, you’re not part of the resistance—you’re part of the problem.

This Was NEVER About “Owning the Libs”—That’s Just the Distraction

Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Trumpism isn’t just about "owning the libs." That’s the surface-level excuse they use to mask the real agenda.

It’s like when people spew racist, xenophobic, or transphobic bile and then claim they’re “just joking” or “pushing back on political correctness.” You know it’s not a joke—it’s a deliberate attempt to normalize cruelty and desensitize the public to fascism.

The MAGA movement isn’t here to debate ideas. It’s here to wipe out democracy, destroy every progressive gain of the last century, and replace it with a fascist system built on fear, division, and raw power.

The cruelty isn’t just the point—it’s the foundation.

Stop Laughing at Their "Idiocy"—It’s Their Sharpest Weapon

Let’s cut the condescension. Yes, Trump sounds like an idiot. Yes, Elon Musk’s Twitter tantrums are absurd. Yes, Marjorie Taylor Greene sounds like a walking conspiracy theory.

But if you think that makes them harmless, you’ve missed the point.

Their so-called “idiocy” is their biggest asset. It works as a distraction; it makes you underestimate their destructive capabilities. While you’re busy laughing at their incompetence, they’re burning the system to the ground.

This isn’t about running an efficient government. This is about making government so dysfunctional, so chaotic, that it becomes impossible to restore. They don’t need to be smart. They just need to break everything faster than it can be repaired.

And right now? They’re winning.

The Courts Aren’t Going to Save You—They’re Just Slowing Down the Inevitable

Too many people still believe that if the courts keep blocking Trump and Musk’s agenda, democracy will hold. That’s a delusion.

It doesn’t matter if every lawsuit against them wins.
It doesn’t matter if every executive order gets overturned.
It doesn’t matter if watchdogs and judges call them out.

Because their goal isn’t to win every case—it’s to break the system through sheer, relentless exhaustion.

Think about it from the perspective of a career civil servant—someone who’s spent decades working in the Treasury, the FBI, OPM, GSA or any of the agencies and departments being attacked by DOGE.

• Your department’s funding is frozen.

• Your colleagues are getting fired for not being "loyal" enough.

• The experts around you—the people who actually know how things work—are quitting in droves.

• You’re told one week that your office is being shut down, then the courts temporarily reverse it, but you know another challenge is coming.

• Every day is chaos.

How long would you stick around?

This is how they win. Not by outright destroying the government in one move, but by turning it into a place where no competent person wants to work anymore.

It’s like bending a piece of plastic. Maybe it doesn’t snap right away. But every time you bend it, it weakens. Eventually, it won’t go back to its original shape.

So sure, go ahead and celebrate the court victories. But while you’re popping champagne over temporary injunctions, the real damage is happening:

• The government is hemorrhaging experienced personnel.

• The people who know how to run things are quitting voluntarily, just to escape the chaos.

• The only ones left will be the sycophants and loyalists—the people who don’t care if the system works, as long as they get to control it.

By the time you realize what’s happening, it’ll be too late to fix.

They Don’t Need to Win Every Battle

Trump and Musk could lose every single court case. They could have every executive order overturned. They could have every agency they dismantle eventually restored.

And it wouldn’t matter.

Because by then, the damage will be permanent. The people who kept the government running—the career civil servants, the non-partisan experts, the institutional knowledge—will be gone. The Overton Window will have shifted so far that what once seemed unthinkable will now be normal. The government will be so bent out of shape that it will never function the same way again.

That’s not a side effect of their strategy.

That is the strategy.

If You Believe in This Fight, Help Keep It Alive

The solution is coming right up, I just need a moment of your time:

This work isn’t backed by corporations. There are no ads, no paywalls, no billionaires funding it.

It’s just one person, fighting like hell to expose the truth and give you the weapons to push back.

If you value what you just read—if you want this movement to keep growing, keep calling out fascism without fear, and keep fighting for the future we deserve—then I need your support.

Join the fight. Become a supporter. Every contribution keeps this mission alive.

Because silence is surrender. We do not surrender. We are #TheRelentless.

But Here’s the Good News—We Know Exactly How to Fight This

If all of this sounds like an unstoppable disaster, it isn’t. But we can’t fight it with the same old playbook. We can’t count on courts alone, or institutions, or elections alone to fix what’s happening.

What we need is a new strategy—one that understands the stakes, adapts to the reality of fascism, and hits back just as hard as they hit us.

🔴 Step 1: Mass Awareness—Say the Quiet Part Out Loud
We need millions of people who not only recognize this for what it is but are willing to say it. No more soft language, no more "this is concerning." This is a fascist coup in progress, and anyone who still thinks we can “wait this out” is part of the problem.

🔴 Step 2: Public Opinion Is the Only Weapon Left—And We Must Use It Relentlessly
Democrats don’t control the White House. We don’t control the House, the Senate, or the Supreme Court. But we still control the majority of the country—a lot of people are just tuned out of politics. The fight isn’t in Congress anymore—it’s in the hearts and minds of the American people.

That means protests aren’t enough. That means debates aren’t enough. We have to invade their spaces.

🔴 Step 3: Break Into the Propaganda Machine & Wreck It From the Inside

The people who need to wake up aren’t watching MSNBC. They aren’t scrolling through progressive Twitter. They’re listening to Fox News, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, Newsmax, and OANN. Or they’re completely tuned out of politics—which is exactly what the fascists want.

That’s why we need to get into their spaces—not to "debate," not to win some intellectual argument, but to bulldoze through their propaganda and tell their audiences the truth in a way they can’t ignore.

🔥 Call DOGE what it is: The Department of Government Extinction.
🔥 Call their hiring strategy TEI: Trump-Endorsed Incompetence.
🔥 Call them what they are: America-hating fascists.
🔥 Hammer one simple truth into every conversation: "Trump scammed you."

But that’s not enough. We also need our loudest voices—our artists, creators, influencers, and entertainers—to step into the fight.

🔹 The right weaponized non-political influencers to push their propaganda. We need to do the same.
🔹 Your favorite YouTuber, musician, actor, or TikToker? Ask them why they aren’t talking about this.
🔹 They have the platforms to reach the millions of disengaged people we need. We must demand that they use them.

This is how we win.
Not by playing defense.
Not by waiting for someone to save us.
But by taking the fight to them and forcing the conversation into every corner of culture.

📢 Our full strategy playbook lays out exactly how to do this. Read it, share it, and join the fight.

Because history isn’t written by the people who wait for permission to act.

It’s written by the people who step up in the face of our greatest challenges.

WAKE. THE. HELL. UP. AND GET IN THE FIGHT.
