While ranting against the action of any government is always welcome, I do want to mention that, like everyone "in power", Trump is simply a puppet in a play.

Trump has the tendency to just blab and threaten reflexively, moreso than any puppet in recent memory. But, as it always is, his ranting is just another slight-of-hand leading to more control for those in power and less freedom for the proles.

All this tariff nonsense is to obscure the real goal. The leaders of both Mexico and Canada have already indicated that they will comply with Trump's demands for more surveillance. That's the goal. My guess is this will be followed up with a "pan-American" agreement to "share data" being compiled by each country's surveillance arms, effectively creating a "panopticon" even further removed from the control of the proles than the individual national "security" appartuses.

Trump is just as much about the "New World Order"/"One World Government" as all the rest of them are. but his character in this play is to appeal to the MAGA's who would have balked at any such impairment of freedom had it come from a vegetable or whatever the "blues" install as the next puppet leader.

Even before 'wokeness' hit us, the derogatory use of the word 'retard' has been considered an offence to people who are developmentally delayed.

noun

re·​tard

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retard

retard

1. ri-ˈtärd : a holding back or slowing down : retardation

2. ˈrē-ˌtärd offensive : a person affected with intellectual disability

3. ˈrē-ˌtärd informal + offensive : a foolish or stupid person

Could you not think of a more articulate, colourful, non-derogatory word?

The word you've chosen (retard) doesn't even properly describe those you are aiming at. These people are not intellectually disabled. They are actually masterful actors, with clever plans, who have kissed the ring.

Try something else, please.

Here are some ideas:

MAGAs - the serfs revealed

MAGA's puppets show their hands

Ok, so those aren't great titles...but you get where I'm headed, right?

I want to share your article, because it is very thought provoking, but I'm not going to share it because of your inappropriate use of the word 'retard'.

Dear haters - I'm not asking for a fight. Please refrain from attacking me.
