Yeah the shooting in Sweden is getting buried by news like this. Not that the situation in Gaza isn’t terrible or that the US isn’t a terrible country to be in, but stil
On what? It’s all crazy. “We’re going to invade Gaza” is just as insane as “we’re going to put 18 year olds in charge of the Treasury”, “eliminate the department of education” or “win the war on diversity”.
Maybe them draining the Calofornia reservoirs used to irrigate crops during the summer to cause widespread crop failures and drive up food prices massively in a few months.
They’re actively trying to cripple the country to please Putin.
Yeah people keep saying “this is just a distraction” to, like, very single story. So what are they distracting from? Please tell us, because all of it is fucking awful.
The distraction is currently no doubt from the takeing over of certain essential government agencies, hollowing them out, getting rid of anyone critical of the new regime.
Distracting us from their actions to enact Project 2025 plans, mostly. The degradation of human rights (starting with immigrants and trans people, for example). It seems like they’re gonna keep threatening to invade countries and they’re gonna keep playing tariff chicken, but pay attention to what they’re doing within the US.
All, please read this article (NYT gift link) - this IS and has been the strategy. Blitzkrieg policy while distracting the “stupid” media with outrageous, ultimately meaningless distractions.
From the ever flatulent Steve Bannon: “All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done.”
Steve Bannon said six years ago on Bill Maher: “You seperate the signal from the noise. Watch the signal. There’s a flashbang grenade every day as far as noise goes. Watch the signal.”
That’s just a sound bite. Trump just said it, nothing is being done to bring it about.
What is being done is systematically gutting and disabling key government departments and seizing control over the treasury and hiring process, without any legal basis.
Their strategy is to overwhelm the news cycle with distractions. Stay focused.

Exactly what that they are doing is not a distraction? Because every single time they say or do anything, someone on Lemmy says it’s a distraction.
Now even announcing they will invade Gaza is a distraction?
Literally what is not a distraction?
Direct actions taken to degrade civil rights and human rights within the US in pursuit of their Project 2025 plans
Just curious what happens when they neuro-starlink beginning with prisoners. Johny Mnemonic?
So… like taking over Gaza?

What makes you think nothing is being done to bring it about? How could you possibly know?
Honestly I think some of this bullshit could be considered semi serious. This is Donnie’s crap. Leon has his own agenda.
I mean, a huge number of his own supporters are questioning this. I wouldn’t call this a viable strategy.
