Donald Trump is panicking.

And when Orange Cthulhu panics, the MAGA rats inside the White House bucket start turning on one another, scratching, biting, desperate to prove loyalty, clawing for the rim no matter the cost to truth or dignity.

For years, the MAGA apparatus has run on a simple, brutal loop: do something horrific, lie about it, scream “fake news” at anyone who notices, and barrel ahead. It worked with chilling consistency.

Until Minneapolis.

Until the public executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti jammed the machinery.

Pretti wasn’t a “domestic terrorist” or a “foreign infiltrator.” He wasn’t an Antifa fever dream or a communist illegal alien. He was a 37-year-old ICU nurse. A VA nurse. A man with a legal carry permit who, according to eyewitnesses and video alike, was protecting a woman when federal agents decided to cosplay Call of Duty: Minneapolis in the streets of a major American city.

Stephen Miller and his dead-eyed acolytes reached reflexively for the old script. Within hours, Pretti was labeled an “assassin.” A threat. A monster.

But the video was too clear. The facts are too stubborn. And the victim, fatally for the propaganda machine, was too achingly normal

I would imagine, now that the wheels can be seen falling off the Trump Train, it will soon be “All brutality, all the time”.

That’s what happens when a regime no longer can control a population with tools of persuasion
