There is so much here to unpack that it would take hours. So I will instead make a few points.

1) One can love America and the American people ... and not be what you and I would like things to be. And I am sure I would like Trump the private man very much and still from a more Westminster way of looking at things not have too much in common with him. The problem here would be a presuppostitonal world split apart which spills over into all other aspects of life. In a nutshell, DJT is more FDR while I am more Patrick Henry.

2) DJT is not one man. He is a force backed by a pervasive powerful group of people, presumably connected with the Apex Money, since The Money really runs the show from behind the curtain. DJT is a very smart, a capable highly intelligent man. He is probably the best we can expect. I have always said that DJT's sin from the Woke Radicals' perspective is that of being reactionary. DJT's vision is more America mid-century. This is way too tame for Woke Marxists who are hell bent on consolidating The Revolution in the 21st century. These revolutionaries are comfortable with people like Alinsky or Herbert Marcuse. Such as these are foreign to DJT nature. This is what they hate him. In an odd way, with some modern differences, Trump/MAGA versus Marxist Woke is a repeat of the eternal war between Red Shirts and Brown Shirts of 20th century Europe. By other means, it has the same vicious ring of street fighting about it.

3) Neocons, in general, are simply less extreme radicals. Both NeoCons and Redical Ds are Woke, more or less. Both promote total world hegemony, the UN Marxist agendas, secularization, the killing off of God and so on. And it is well to remember that Neo-Conservatism arose out of Trotskyism. They, all factions, are dedicated Marxists.

4) I agree as to total collapse ending a lot of stuff. And yet we might get an approximation of that, but don't bet your boots on any roll back on the totalitarian structures now in place.

5) Milei and what is going on in Argentine? I would not be surprised to see something like that happen here in the States once DJT assumes the mantle of president. And again, Milei's Davos speech sets the tone.
