Slogans such as this only underline how little Dems understand their opponent.

Trump, like Putin before him in Russia, is a driver of the historical tendency that begged for a galeon figurehead. In this case, a "network state" is blooming. A paradigm shift from unabashed leftist “dictatorship of minorities” toward technocratism, tinted with zaibatsu-like corporate culture on the scale of the States.

I’d speak about transition to, ahem, moderately mature cyberpunk society, sprinkled with darker glitter of obligatory dystopia. After all, cyberpunk works without dystopian elements are few and far between.

In the realm of foreign policy, Trump, Vance, and Musk are channeling Andrew Jackson, Kissinger, and Halford Mackinder; they take as granted that the world shouldn’t be forced into unity (the moment of unipolarity after the collapse of the USSR came and went, it was but a quick historical anomaly), and the congress of great powers provides more stable configuration than American edition of the “Brezhnev Doctrine,” poisoned with moronic Nuland-style neoconservative messianism. Altogether, a resounding paradigm leap out of a blind alley where the EU, Ukraine, Russia, and the US were leading one another throughout Eastern European remake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, stretched for over two years and a half mainly for purposes of various (re)elections and, of course, colossal money laundering.
