What makes this go around so much more dangerous, is that Trump is much more normalized than he was the first time.
The first time, people were really on edge, really on guard, they were really vigilant about any breaks he would have with the norm.
This time, the norms are embracing him.
Even little things that everyday, working people may not care about but are strong cultural signals — like Oscar de la Renta dressing all of the women at the inauguration.
All these people who were scared before about being associated with him, from the most common, basic level to the most elite level: they’re all in because this is now a billionaire feeding frenzy.
It is a kiss-ass race. It is “How can I show how much fealty I have to Donald Trump in order to get my digs?”
What's really important for people to understand, now and every day of this administration, is that you’re being ripped off.
Everyone is being ripped off. He goes up there and he says what he wants to say.
He’s just the quintessential New York con man.
We're not witnessing the start of an oligarchy — we are fully here.
Our movement for real progress for everyday people will have to push harder than ever these next four years.
Help us continue the fight with a grassroots contribution today.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
