The Trump admin exists because the Republican party has been striving towards this goal for the last five decades. By 2010, the Tea Party leaves were becoming pretty effing easy to read.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

There will be two internets: the first will require proof of identity and everything you do will be tied to that identity - forget anonymity forever. The second will be an “underground” one that is significantly more difficult for the average idiot to get onto. It’ll use wherever replaces TOR since TOR is known to be vulnerable to tracking as well. There will be complete anarchy, and it’ll be a real PITA to do anything. Nobody & no site will be trustworthy, and you’ll have to exchange encryption keys & whatnot offline IRL with anyone you want to communicate with in a vaguely trustworthy fashion.
You read about Digg, didn’t you?
