Remember how during the election campaign he had sign-up forms for the maga loyalists who attended his rallies and were interested in working for his government?
This is the next step in that plan. The first step was having Musk and his DOGE lackeys gut the federal government of anyone who was employed in areas they didn't like, it those who might be critical of them.
Now they are moving to step 2: they are going to use subs of the freed-up wages from those lost positions to flood the federal government with their loyalist grunts. And ICE is the perfect place for most of them. These people will get to strut around in their armed forces paraphernalia, persecuting immigrants and people with darker skin than them.
I'm surprised I haven't seen any mention of those rally sign-up forms anywhere recently. But this is all part of a wider plan.
Signing up the MAGA faithful is the perfect way to destroy the operation from within. They think that loyalty is more important than competence, and that will be their eventual undoing.
Their problem is that they believe their own propaganda. They honestly believe that EVERYBODY working for the government is a lazy incompetent parasite who does nearly nothing at work all day, and what little they do is fucked up. Surely a MAGA Moron can do just as good a job, and be loyal at the same time.
While they are staffing their government with idiotic traitors, the Resistance is staffing up with competent, intelligent government leaders, who are highly experienced, and know how the systems work. Eventually the showdown will come, and the idiots won't know what to do. Moronic arrogance only takes you so far.
It almost makes me miss the first term when he had no plan
He still has no plan. This is somebody else's plan, and they just whisper it into Grandpa's ear and let the dementia do the rest.
Put him in the desk and put one of those folders with the seal to make it look official enough for Trump to sign. Say" dems bad, senile, dumb"( and whatever else is being whispered about trump) and trump signing this fixes it. "A decisive decision from big dick trump and his large powerful hands"
The first step was actually pardoning those J6 criminals. He's going to try and get them deputized to be his lil'Hitler SS, you watch.
Guess we should fill the streets with MAGA red before they become deputized.
nah, he didn’t like how they all looked like trailer trash… also the Secret Service already has the SS initials….
my money is on the white South African refugees he’s bringing over… blonde and blue eyed and already tons of fascist experience….
All of Trump's beliefs are malleable and for sale. Hell, he used to call Elon Musk a bootlicker. All it took to gain his unending respect was a sack with a dollar sign on it.
This is the first I've heard of sign-up forms. Got a link for that?
Still, though, there are all those Jan 6'ers who already committed violence for this man once, and they were rewarded for it. I think it's certainly they will sign up to do violence for him again.
Here's a link from a December 2024 article. It mentions how the people behind Project 2025 had an online questionnaire. I remember reading somewhere that I'm addition to being an promoted on maga web sites, the questionnaire was also heavily promoted at Trump's rallies. I can't find a link on that now, but it makes perfect sense that's one of the places where they'd be advertising it and gathering names. It would be a very effective way of reaching those people.
Pertinent parts of this article, which again was published before he was sworn in, include:
