they’re just absolutely awful people working their way down their terrible agenda.

• Tariffs - destabilize foreign relations, isolate the US even more than it already is, reinforce American exceptionalism and xenophobia, personally profit off of market fluctuations
• Elon / DOGE - solidify authoritarian and oligarchic control by ripping apart internal buearacratic barriers, placing spies and saboteurs in critical positions, dismantling key federal agencies, and preventing enforcement of any regulations against corporate interests.
• ICE - reinforce xenophobia, incite civil unrest as justification for military oppression, use vulnerable populations as scapegoats for all of our economic problems
• Universities - inhibit progress by destabilizing and occupying their greatest political threat. Youth without major responsibilities or jobs, and old retirees, are literally the two most powerful and vulnerable political forces in the world.
• Gaza and Iran are literally the same thing - support Israel and the Military Industrial Complex. Spread hatred and fear as a means of reinforcing authoritarian control.

The budget bill, too. It's all fascism, all the time. These aren't distractions. These are all the same threat, and we need to band together and put an end to it.

None of it is a distraction, you are 100% correct. Steve Bannon called this "flooding the zone". When Fascism takes over, it hits hard.

The invasion of Netherlands is just a distraction from the invasion of Denmark.. which was really a distraction from the invasion of Poland!

This is how society sounds to me right now. I concur, these events are not distractions from each other, but additional fronts which must be fought and resisted. We need our eyes on all of it.

I interpreted it as reinforcing that we need to pay attention to all the things on the list and not fall for the distraction.
