The grand spectacle rolls on, and Season 47 of the American Empire has ignited with a blaze. As the script unfolded, Donald J. Trump’s re-apotheosis crowned the opening act. In a ceremony staged in the White House Rotunda, President Trump cemented his place in history as a terrestrial god, wielding supreme authority over the material realm. His second term swept in on a tide of unlikely allies: his enemies, who profit off of belittling him and rousing their devoted acolytes; a splintered third-party’s base; and a grassroots swell that carried him across the finish line.
His foes, in a miscalculated gambit, threw Kamala Harris into a 100-day sprint that landed flat—no spark, no “joy,” just a hollow echo in a nation too weary to cheer.
Then there was MAHA, the post-COVID insurgency that tipped the scales. A coalition of the disillusioned—RFK Jr., millions of mothers waking up to a for-profit healthcare system poisoning their kids, and those scarred or bereaved by mandated mRNA shots—fueled Trump’s triumph. Their rage had simmered long enough.
The early days brought a rush: a flurry of Executive Orders slashed through the air, a symbolic middle finger to the “Woke” siege that had choked the dissenters. Now, the DOGE “autists”—those relentless tech savants— are wiring up AI and new infrastructure, gutting the bloated bureaucracy. Mass firings have followed, and predictably, the Democrats’ usual suspects are crying foul.
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have taken to the stage with their “Fighting Oligarch” town halls—pure theater, a sideshow to mask the real machinations. Will anything be done for the people, or are the populists who wear blue ties simply doing what they have been doing and are just sheep dogging those strays who left the flock?
Beneath the surface, the war hums through the wires. Intelligence agencies grapple for the narrative’s reins, secrets spilling and vanishing in equal measure. Deals are cut in the shadows, history etched in real time. How much will be revealed this time?
The Empire churns forward, unbroken.
Until next time.
