How could anyone have predicted all this chaos?
Well, Jared Yates Sexton did. He’s an author, political commentator, and editor of Dispatches From a Collapsing State Substack.
How did he do it?
According to him, he simply listened to Trump, Musk, and their influencers, did the reading and research, and took them all literally and seriously. Unfortunately, writers like Jared, Sarah Kendzior, and others were dismissed by corporate media and the establishment as being too hysterical. Unfortunately, it’s the world’s worst, “I told you so,” because they were right. It’s lonely being a Cassandra, but thankfully, they have some company.
I’ve been speaking to Jared for a few years now to feel grounded that I’m not losing my mind or off the mark about what I believed was the GOP’s descent into a right-wing authoritarian death cult. We knew Trump II would be worse because we read Project 2025 and know the ideologues who helped shape the perverse worldview of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and the broligarchy. It’s a supervillain vision comprised of unfettered greed, corruption, racism, eugenics, and a misanthropic and sociopathic view of humanity.
We’re seeing it in full display.
Trump has hijacked America in a global game of chicken in which he just swerved the car and caved, but not before causing immense damage to our reputation and economy. Because he’s the ultimate grifter, he found a way to make his rich friends a nice penny by engaging in what looks like an illegal “poop and scoop” scheme. But this is all part of the murder-suicide pact, or as Jared describes it, a “double suicide” pact, that Trump has made in service of his carnal appetites, greed, and the broligarchy.
In this Chai Talk, we connect the dots and explain the very clear ideology, plan, and method to the alleged madness that is corrupting the country and the world.
