We're building a hybrid of Italian Fascist and a Argentinian Peronist like state.
The desire for transactional wins and power overshadows all. Trump will unironically ally himself with a turd like Elon, or a turd like the UAW dude who glazed him on "Liberation Day". The state control of business is missing... perhaps we'll see that develop with Tesla.
It's a weird movement, because the baseline assumption is that the country is ruined. So any marginal win is celebrated, any loss is "priced in" politically.

Every dictatorship is unhappy in its own way but they all involve: Myth of the strong man dictator Erosion of rule of law Undermining independent judiciary Arbitrary detention and arbitrary enforcement of laws Separate paramilitary groups There are signs of all of this in the US just now.
