That is scary shit.
This is straight up nazi, but does anyone seriously believe it stops at Hispanic people?

Psychologically, they are the same people. “Good Americans” exist in abundance, as well. IMO, the only things potentially preventing mass bloodshed are this admin’s relative incompetence, and my now hardened opinion that Trump has zero plans to leave the White House, in this life. I don’t think Trump wants to rule over a violent, hollowed-out shithole country - it’s aesthetically unpleasing.

I agree with everything you wrote except the last part. I think trump will feel more powerful by being increasingly cruel.

Maybe. I certainly reserve the right to be sanguine. That said, trump is 80. He's always been driven by greed, insecurity, and public perception. He's a walking, talking example of "please, please love me, daddy".
Mass violence isn't good for prestige. Mass violence isn't good for acceptance by the gentry (just chronic, low/mod violence against poor people is acceptable). What happens when his cult gets smaller, and even more concentrated in the populations he already despises (let us not forget, trump thinks rural America is a shithole)? The pod-bro culture has steadily started turning. Tech-bro culture will likely follow Elon over trump. Owning a cult of people you find deplorable isn't fun, nor good for one's ego. A country with guerrilla violence and bread lines pasted all over tiktok, insta, x, bluesky, etc. isn't good for business nor one's standing on the world stage (yes, he's delusional, but he also folds like a cheap suit when confronted).
Trump arguably reveres King Charles more than anyone. I think we're more likely to get Hungary, with an attempt at enshrining the most incompetent "royal" family on the planet, than a Reich.
Also, since last summer, I've been predicting the invocation of martial law by the end of september (somewhere), disappearances, a formal SA, and concentration camps. All but one of those has happened and the one that hasn't got a practice run. I think this country likely burns, just depends if we're talking a massive open-space fire that shrouds us in an indeterminant smokey, insidious haze, or is this the 2018 Camp Fire and we're Paradise, CA.
