Ya know… One trait that every authoritarianist / patrimonialist / fascist movement have shared is a complete broadcasting of what and how they were / are going to do what they did / are doing. In WWII, Patton for all his own metagumbles and issues, understood that and had read Mien Kampf and all the other pre war writings of Hitler, Mussolini, and their respective cadres had written. This one is no different.
Between P2025 and Curtis Yavin’s ridiculous screeds, the maps have been in plain sight for a long damn time.
It’s not exactly like one has to go through Arthur Dentian hoops to find the notice the house was about to be bulldozed.
We’ve (in this case referring to the millions who didn’t see this shit coming) have had plenty of warning. Heather Richardson Cox has been spelling it out in annotated and footnoted detail since before T1.0. To some extent this dovetails into your excellent treatise on the whole Trump Dementia thing (which I’ve now linked in other discussions countless times btw).
The perfect storm was always coming, it just got substantially advanced and achieved critical mass when mElon Fuck’s black hole of power and monetary greed saw the bargain basement pricing on buying a Presidency and tossed some pocket change at speeding things along.
I hope you are right. I mean, I sullied myself to read through all 925 pages of that fucking manual, only to get a good 8 parts of churn out of it. And I feel totally dirty and someone infected by it.
I’ll help where I can with this: There are two things I use always to keep track of the horse shit (which is very different from bullshit) that makes up P25. One is from the WSJ and I keep a tracker sheet on my Google drive I’ll share here of the status of exec orders. The second is literally the P2025 tracking spreadsheet that dismantles each and every fucking line item into single orders the dickwad in chief will issue (or has issued). I’ll get both links up here so your readers (and if you want it) have access to them.

I only read the segments on health care -as I’m a nurse-
so far and it chilled me to the bone.
Thank you Wendy.
Almost afraid to read part 2. Great synopsis Wendy.
Thank you much
Great article Wendy, can’t wait for part II!
Once again Wendy-you nailed it!

I know! I only skimmed it—and it was digusting! Thanks for going through it….you need a spa treatment and a drink after that!! :)
Thank you for taking up the laboring oar on this and reading it. I’m still waiting for “the perfect rainy three-day weekend” to try.
I assume you’re taking the proper “sanitary” protections? 🥴
Appreciate you!
PS: Fucking great article. Loved every word. Can’t wait till I see that little fucking shit Yarvin’s name pop up in all this.
