Look at Israel Today for a Glimpse of the US Under Trump II
If you have any doubt about what the US would look like under a second TFG administration, just look at Israel. The parallels are uncanny. Think about it – Bibi Netanyahu, the country’s totalitarian leader, is under indictment for corruption, bribery, and breach of trust; sound familiar? Despite these charges, he was re-elected in 2022 with a tiny 4 seat majority in parliament; sound familiar? Despite this tiny majority he’s rammed through a number of “reforms” which are nothing but power grabs. Since Netanyahu controls both the executive office and parliament, the only check on his power has been Israel’s supreme court, which has made life inconvenient in his takeover. He fixed that yesterday by ramming through a very unpopular bill stripping the court of much of its oversight authority; Israelis are now rioting in the streets.
Netanyahu is backed by ultra-right and ultra-religious radicals who are protecting him; sound familiar? Since 2022 they’ve been consolidating their power and are now in the process of taking over the West Bank and expanding Israeli settlements by stripping land from Palestinians, limiting the civil rights of Palestinians, inserting religion and limiting the rights of secular Israelis, and limiting LGBTQ rights. The military has stepped up persecution of Palestinians with violent attacks on their settlements and refugee camps, claiming to be rooting out “terrorists”.
TFG’s henchmen are already laying plans should he take office again; their intent is to consolidate all government power under the president, stripping independence of the DOJ (especially the FBI), the IRS, the EPA, the FCC, FTC, and all functions independent of the White House. They also plan to strip government employee protections, purge the agencies and install loyalists throughout the government. It’s exactly what Netanyahu is doing in Israel, but on a much larger scale. Both plans are the same, and that is to institutionalize corruption.
The only real difference between Netanyahu’s takeover of Israel and TFG’s plan? He already controls the SCOTUS. That should send cold chills down your back.
