Channeling the evil emperor from Star Wars: I can feel (the) anger...
People are pissed.
The situation is explosive and the “elites” of both sides of the same coin mostly do not grasp it. They are like Tsar Nicky’s toadies back in 1917. Heads are going to roll.
I keep saying this, because I think it is worth hearing: The GOP has a chance – a very slim one – to save the situation by immediately taking action to get rid of Trump and (following that) pursue an aggressively America First policy. I mean real action with tangible benefits for Americans.
End the god-damned war, for openers. Now. Massively slash the “defense” budget and other federal “programs” such that every single American’s tax burden can be massively reduced right away, as by ending withholding. Unlike printing more money and sending out “stimulus” checks, this would not further devalue the buying power of money. It would leave the money in people’s pockets. It would also do something else that’s arguably even more important. It would make plain what the cost of the federal leviathan is. 
The average sum extracted from the average worker’s annual salary is about $10k. This is money that’s taken from him before he ever gets to actually hold it, even fleetingly. He therefore doesn’t feel its loss and – worse – he feels he got a windfall if he gets a “refund” of some of it at the end of the year. This dirty gyp was engineered by FDR almost a century ago. It ought to be ended, so that people get to really feel what the federal leviathan is costing them, as by having to write a check every April to the state. This would make it much harder for the state and that would be very good for Americans. It is a reform far more pressing than ending Daylight Savings Time.
Just imagine the wave of relief – and gladness – that would spread across the land if the Republicans actually lowered the crushing taxes working and middle income Americans have to pay. The italics are to emphasize an important point. No one ought to be crushed by taxes – but they fall most crushingly on people who can least afford them. Elon Musk could lose 95 percent of his wealth and still be extremely wealthy; he’d never sweat the electric bill or have to put a new refrigerator on a credit card with a 34 percent interest rate. This is not – to be clear – a call to tax the rich. It is to point out that working and middle income people desperately need relief. How about the government take less of their money? 
Think that’d be popular? If the GOP actually did something along those lines, people might like rather than despise the GOP, which is currently (and correctly) perceived by most working and middle income Americans as the party of greedheads and grifters, with Trump right at the head of the stinking, rotting fish.
How about doing what Trump talked about doing and allow the affordable cars that are available everywhere else to be sold here? Just across the border, in Mexico, there are a plethora (as in many) $15k and under brand-new cars with AC, air bags and fuel-injected/emissions-controlled engines that do not pollute and that are not “unsafe.” There is no defensible reason why the border should be closed to such cars. Every time I write an article about the inexpensive, high-mileage and just interesting vehicles Americans aren’t allowed to buy, the response I get is overwhelmingly in favor of Americans being free to buy such cars. If the GOP were to use the remaining power it has to make it so, the public approbation would probably be so tremendous that the Democrats would have a tough time unmaking it so next year. Good luck telling hard-pressed Americans that – no – they’re not going to be allowed to buy a $15k Nissan or Toyota such as are available south of the border.
Here’s another one: End ICE – including the despicably authoritarian acronym’ing. No more masked goons hassling people on the street. Americans do not like that – including Americans who want the border controlled and something done about illegals. The latter could be done by the simple expedient of enacting a proof-of-citizenship or lawful residency requirement as a condition of receiving any government benefits, federal or state. Americans overwhelmingly support not being taxed to “help” people who have no business being here. Pull the benefits and the moochers (who are not synonymous with illegals) will self-deport, no need for masked goons hassling and sometimes murdering Americans.
Obviously, the GOP has got to repudiate MIGA. That means repudiating its main proselytizers, such as Ted Cruz. It means taking down the Israeli flags and taking off the Israel pins. Above all, it means stop talking about Israel as if this foreign state mattered more to Americans than the cost of fueling their vehicles. It doesn’t. Stop being afraid of being called “ant-Semitic.” Be afraid of Americans who are beyond tired of being told they are for not giving a runny shit about that state. 
Just a few examples of things that could be done right now to help Americans. Above all, there is the vitally necessary business of holding that spray tanned SOB accountable for his betrayals. The SOB who did not hold a single person accountable for “COVID.” Or for whatever is in those Epstein Files. If the GOP could only rouse itself to actually hold him accountable – and do something meaningful to make Americans’ lives better rather than worse – the worst might still be avoided.
Of course, the GOP won’t do any of that – and we’ll end up living in a Soviet America because of that.

“We’ll end up living in a Soviet America” – E. Peters
Of course we will. The Jewish Bolshevik Revolution failed in Russia. It’s now being tried in this country. It, too, will fail but, not without leaving devastation in its wake. And unlike Russia, our fall will be far greater with the attendant ruination.
The fact one man can do so much damage is an indictment against the imperial presidency. Lincoln created it. Wilson cemented it. And we’ve paid the price since.
