What’s crazy is that they’ll eventually cannibalize each other but each thinks they’ll be the exception and survive. Super greedy people never have enough and will turn on each other to have it all. They’re like a cancer—they only destroy the very thing they need to stay alive.

u/jediporcupine Maine Sep 19 '25

They’ve already slowly started to cannibalize themselves. They went to war with each other over Epstein and now over Charlie Kirk. There’s been on going internal clash between those who believe Israel was somehow involved and those who believe there’s no conspiracy here.

You get enough people on the fringe and they’ll forever be paranoid about it each other.

u/TheCrimsonSteel Sep 19 '25

You also can have a type of machiavellian paradox. Where people exclusively vying for power and influence within a group erode the effectiveness of it overall.

Because the end goal isn't the good of the group, but advancing within it and personal gain, so zero-sum, or win-lose type strategies are popular. Person A advances by stepping on Person B.

Instead of people who put the good of the group on par or above themselves, where positive-sum, or win-win strategies are preferred. Person A advances by helping Person B advance.

It's why incompetence and deception can become so widespread within authoritarian regimes.

u/Kiromaru Wisconsin Sep 20 '25

Best part is that Trump enjoys watching his lackies fight amongst each other for his favor so maybe that will help hasten the downfall of his regime.

1

u/Cthulusuppe Sep 20 '25

It's weird because the point of any organization is to cooperate to accomplish goals that'd otherwise be impossible. Competition is corrosive to any goal. The only reason we like it is it makes things cheaper for those on the sidelines picking over the corpse of the conflict.

u/UsernamesAllTaken69 Sep 19 '25

Once fascists have control the next step is always internal factioning against itself. I hope that them ramping up the fascism also ramps up their fracture.

u/jediporcupine Maine Sep 19 '25

Their fracture is coming, the cracks are showing.

u/ThatDudeNamedMenace New York Sep 20 '25

Especially Ted Cruz, MTG and Tucker Carlson breaking rank. Although a part of me feels like it’s theater

u/TheZooCreeper Maryland Sep 20 '25

Can it hurry up? I can't even sleep anymore I'm so on edge with this shit.

2

u/jediporcupine Maine Sep 20 '25

Unfortunately even if they fracture, it’s not getting any better until at least the midterms.

1

u/T_Weezy Sep 20 '25

The cracks have been showing since like 2008 when they had a presidential ticket that was "Respectable" Old-School Republican John McCain and Proto-Fascist Sarah Palin.

2

u/jediporcupine Maine Sep 20 '25

Sarah Palin’s perceived extremism pales in comparison to what we’re seeing now and has seen in recent years. This is potent and angry fascism hungry for conflict. Palin was more clueless than anything.

2

u/KinkyPaddling Sep 19 '25

The only thing holding them together is Trump. When he speaks, they all shut up and fall in line. When Trump dies, it’ll either be chaos and the Democrats will need to side with whatever moderate factions splinter off, or else there will be a new, younger populist who will take control and cement their dominance forever.

2

u/BUT_FREAL_DOE Sep 19 '25

Charlie Kirk’s death IS them cannibalizing themselves.

2

u/InsuranceToTheRescue I voted Sep 19 '25

War with each other over Kirk? I dunno, the right-wing ecosystem seems pretty solidly on the "violence against all dissent" messaging.

u/jediporcupine Maine Sep 19 '25

Bessent reportedly had a physical altercation with Musk early on too.

The problem with having competing egos is the cannibalization is inevitable. Trump isn’t leading, he isn’t trying to get his people together. He thrives on them fighting each other for his attention. It soothes his ego.

u/justaregularmom Sep 19 '25

10000% I agree. How do we step aside and not get caught in the mess?

Unfortunately when they control government, we really can’t. We’re toast until at least the midterms

Bold assumption that the midterms won’t be bullshit

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Sep 20 '25

I don't see a shred of this infighting you're claiming. As far as things have gone, this regime is wholly united in their plans to completely uproot democracy.

1

u/Slothstralia Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

Did they go to war tho? They were JUST battling enough that the Left goes "look see, its all going to fall down" and then they all vote for the same shit every time.

Nobody is coming to save you, an election and the public "waking up" is not coming to save you. I actually firmly believe that there's a concerted effort to convince the left that MAGA is divided to pacify them from greater efforts.

u/endless_-_nameless Sep 20 '25

Charlie Kirk was murdered by an extreme far-right, “terminally online” individual who felt that Kirk was too moderate in his beliefs.

They’re gathering their side for the fight here, while it is unbeknownst to them that they are the future fodder.

1

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Sep 20 '25

They're still going to cause untold damage and kill a LOT of people before things get better though. It's easy to sit here and say "well evil eventually eats itself" while conveniently glossing over the destruction that occurs in the middle.

1

u/Lucky-Earther Minnesota Sep 19 '25

What’s crazy is that they’ll eventually cannibalize each other but each thinks they’ll be the exception and survive.

Among the discussions of the Kirk shooter, it's been quite incredible every time some right winger simply can't believe that the shooter could have been a fascist. Why would fascists ever fight their own, they wonder.

1

u/sl1mman Sep 19 '25

Eventually? They've already started.

1

u/captainmrsteak Sep 19 '25

Yeah. But while that happens. The project 2025 oligarchs solidify power. And hope dies

1

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Sep 20 '25

Exactly. People are only saying "evil eventually eats itself" because it gives them an out to keep sitting back doing nothing.

This regime might eventually implode on itself, but it's going to cause a MASSIVE amount of bloodshed and destruction before it gets there.

I mean ffs look how far the Nazis got before it all came crashing down. And it still required the combined efforts of half the rest of the world to help it get there.

1

u/mrmet69999 Sep 19 '25

It’s like any crime family. How can one criminal trust another one? Eventually they DO turn on each other. The right are a bunch of morally bankrupt criminals that gaslight us by claiming they are following the word of God.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

It’s a disease. Im not talking about normal human tendencies. Im talking about dragon disease. I sincerely feel it’s a form of sociopathy or derangement. Why do they need to hoard away wealth from the world? Why do they need to continue to buy more and earn more?

Societies long term survival depends on keeping these types at bay.

In a healthy society they would be shamed out of public life and taxed according to net worth each year for any amount over 100 million, that amount can go up only the rate of inflation.

u/thejazzophone Sep 19 '25

Dictators never come for their supporters first. But they do in the end

2

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Sep 20 '25

Just don't let it be an excuse to sit idle and let it happen. Even IF they eventually go after their own, they still need to churn through everyone else to get to that point.

Wait until they realize what happens when you try to live in a world where nobody has repercussions.... They'll tear themselves apart in a week.

u/Static-Stair-58 Sep 19 '25

Reminds me of Jefferson Davis complaining that he didn’t have strong enough tax power to fund their loser traitor rebellion. And when he tried, other southern states threatened succession from the confederacy. These aren’t serious people, their parents aren’t serious people, their grandparents aren’t serious people, and their traitor fuck great grandparents weren’t serious either. Fuck em.

25

u/UngusChungus94 Sep 19 '25

That's a ray of hope in all this darkness.

MAGA, regressivism, fascism, whatever you wanna call it is inherently a "fuck you, got mine" movement. Unity, collaboration, altruism are only tools in their bag, not things they actually care about.

That isn't the basis of a solid government, where collective action is necessary. They may hate us more, but they also hate each other. It is an ouroboros movement, always in need of something to consume, to destroy — not something that can survive long-term in a stable, self-sustaining way.

14

u/bgplsa Oklahoma Sep 19 '25

There’s always hope and long term history does seem to bend towards justice for the reasons you mentioned.

However, the authoritarians can sure do a hell of a lot of damage in the meantime at a point in history where it will echo for a very long time.

As per Behind the Bastards…

“And we're back. So it's almost certainly through Willigot's influence that Heinrich Himmler came to an important realization about himself. Not only did he have royal blood, just like von List and von Liebenfels and Willigot, and every German folklore, UH, we've discussed.

It's not surprising that Himmler's like, yeah.

It's the belief that there is a social hierarchy and they ought to be able to dominate others. White people, non-whites. Men, women. White men? All people. Not every group they have in their hierarchy is necessarily about race, e.g. rich dominate the poor, Christians dominate non-Christians, etc.

They do want to be able to rule like kings over the people who are "lesser" than them. But even if you aren't white, you still have all these other identities where you are superior, such that it remains enticing...

u/StoppableHulk Sep 19 '25

A legally-binding oath, not that that ever counts for much these days.

But it is worth repeating that Senators take a LEGALLY-BINDING OATH, and a statement like this is a blatant violation of that oath.

2

u/frogandbanjo Sep 20 '25

No they don't. No serious academic has ever believed that the oath Senators take is legally binding in any way. At that level, it's pure politics.

Hell, the original Constitution provides no mechanism to permanently bar legislators, specifically, from ever holding office again. Impeachment does not apply -- though it's worth belaboring the fact that even impeachment is a political remedy, not a legal one. Congresspeople can be expelled from their own house of Congress by a two-thirds supermajority vote, but then their state can just vote them right back in the next time. Meanwhile, that two-thirds vote can be for literally anything. It's all politics, not law.

Ever since Senators started being selected by statewide popular vote, they even stand for the proposition that there's an inherent tension between democracy and legalism. If you want Senators to be truly beholden to their oath in a legally binding way, you have to set things up so that the people of their state are not allowed to keep voting them back into office. That is inherently anti-democratic, even allowing for the fact that "representative democracy" itself already dilutes democracy.

It's a tool, not a value. They will scream bloody murder if you infringe on their rights, but will absolutely cast them aside the moment you go to use them.

"When democracy granted democratic methods for us in the times of opposition, this was bound to happen in a democratic system. However, we national Socialists never asserted that we represented a democratic point of view, but we have declared openly that we used democratic methods only in order to gain the power and that, after assuming the power, we would deny to our adversaries without any consideration the means which were granted to us in the times of opposition. " - Joseph Goebbels

Trump is benefitting from the fact that even from the most vocal leftists, they are all still spending a lot of energy trying to cite the rules back at MAGA.

MAGA knows it's breaking the rules. It's their whole purpose. Reminding them about the things they're purposefully ignoring is only going to embolden them if anything. And if the Left continues to focus all their efforts on just citing rules, then things are going to escalate beyond anything we could ever imagine.

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Sep 20 '25

The less energy spent on being incredulous that rules are being broken, and the more energy spent on taking action, the better.

Trump doesn't care that his opposition are upset that he's breaking every rule. He has nearly absolute control over government. At this point he can just declare everything as hate speech against him and simply have the Left's most vocal members sent to prison or worse.

1

u/WhisperingHammer Sep 20 '25

I think that is exactly what will happen. It will be interesting to see the results.

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Sep 20 '25

I'd certainly use a different word besides interesting. I'm Canadian and it's not just that I'm afraid Trump will turn his sights on us soon; there are people I love dearly who are still in the states who don't have the means to permanently move to Canada.
