I think what we're seeing right now from Trump 2.0 is a classic flood the zone strategy.

I'll admit, I'm having a hard time not biting on every absurd move he makes, but this is going to be a long four years and we're going to have to figure out what's a feint and what's not.
My best guess so far --
Feints:
1. EO on birthright citizenship, which he knows will be eviscerated by the courts.
2. Territorial expansion.
3. Gaetz and maybe Gabbard.
Real threats:
1. Absolute partisan control of the DOJ and FBI, which will become a Stasi-like organization.
2. Establishing a pattern of ignoring the executive obligation to enforce laws enacted by Congress and upheld by the courts, thus eliminating what remains of our system of checks and balances and consolidating all power in the executive branch.
3. Hegseth, Patel and RFK.
Maybe this thread can be useful to track the feints and the real threats going forward. It will take some work, but I'm convinced we can't defend the threats unless we accurately identify the feints.
