This piece nails something we don’t talk about enough: fear isn’t just a side effect of Trump’s approach — it is the strategy. The examples Cohen gives aren’t isolated abuses of power; they’re signals. Signals to mayors, lawmakers, and citizens that speaking out will cost you.

This piece nails something we don’t talk about enough: fear isn’t just a side effect of Trump’s approach — it is the strategy. The examples Cohen gives aren’t isolated abuses of power; they’re signals. Signals to mayors, lawmakers, and citizens that speaking out will cost you.
What’s striking is how familiar this playbook feels. Target minorities. Weaponize the law. Redefine dissent as disloyalty. It’s not subtle — it’s deliberate. And it’s gaining ground because fear works, especially when it’s dressed up as “law and order.”
We’re watching a soft authoritarianism test its limits — how far it can go before people push back. This article is a reminder: the time to push back is now, before fear becomes the new normal and democracy the forgotten casualty.
Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
