A White House memo, driven by Russ Vought’s Christian nationalist ideology, has initiated a freeze on trillions of dollars in federal spending, ostensibly to combat perceived “woke” policies. This action, temporarily blocked by a federal judge, targets essential programs like infrastructure, healthcare, and disaster relief, potentially causing widespread economic chaos. The memo’s vague language and broad scope suggest a deliberate attempt at indiscriminate destruction, fueled by a belief that the current American system is irredeemable and requires a “counter-revolution.” This drastic measure, though illegal and unconstitutional, aligns with Vought’s vision of a theocratic government.

Trump’s war on “woke” isn’t a battle over cultural sensitivities; it’s a calculated attack on the American economy, designed to benefit a select few at the expense of the majority. The “price of eggs” narrative, a convenient distraction, masks a far more sinister agenda.
The dismantling of the existing economic system isn’t accidental. Filling his inner circle with billionaires, purging federal workers, and installing loyalists in even mundane positions points to a deliberate strategy: to create chaos, then rebuild the economy as a regulation-free authoritarian oligarchy.
This isn’t some conspiracy theory; the evidence is stark. The country hasn’t changed its name, but its character has drastically altered, creating a new system where many Americans are suffering. A return to the former system seems unlikely without some sort of major intervention. The current trajectory is towards a far-right, authoritarian state.
The economic chaos Trump is creating is not an unforeseen consequence, it’s the desired outcome. He’s openly boasted about benefiting from economic downturns because his wealth insulates him from the suffering of others. The resulting crisis will then supposedly justify a dramatic expansion of executive power, further entrenching the oligarchy.
The “war on woke” acts as a smokescreen. It diverts attention from the real assault on education, social assistance programs, and healthcare. It’s a masterful manipulation of the electorate, exploiting anxieties to create an environment where a takeover of resources is both possible and popular.
This strategy aligns with the concept of “disaster capitalism,” where crises are leveraged to enact radical, pro-rich policies. The administration’s attacks on federal workers, for instance, aim to destabilize the middle class and pave the way for privatization. It’s a targeted assault on the economic security of millions.
The proposed tax cuts, primarily benefiting the wealthy while burdening the vast majority, further highlight this plan. Combined with tariffs that disproportionately affect the lower and middle classes, it constitutes a complete restructuring of the tax system, enriching the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
The long-term goal is quite clear: a power grab. Trump and his allies aim to leverage this manufactured economic crisis to seize even more control, ultimately creating a nation profoundly different from the one we know. The “woke” label is a mere tool used to solidify his powerbase among the most vulnerable members of society, further ensuring that the planned destruction goes unopposed.
This deliberate destabilization, presented as a culture war, is fundamentally an attack on the American people. The supposed concern for the “suffering middle class” is a cynical lie, a facade masking a far more ambitious and dangerous objective.
The supporters of this agenda are either blind to its implications or actively cheer for its implementation. They don’t see the manipulation, or they actively participate in it. The result of this will be devastating for the vast majority of Americans, impacting their jobs, healthcare, and overall economic well-being.
It’s a chilling demonstration of how easily a population can be manipulated to support its own destruction. Those who are currently celebrating may soon find themselves among the victims of this self-inflicted wound on the nation. The time to resist is now, before the damage becomes irreversible.
