Comment on Do you think the US will actually log its national parks?

I think there’s going to be incredible pushback, and I hope it’s far more than some angry tweets. So far Trump seems to make big moves like this only to reverse or walk back what he said later.
So he could easily just make the suggestion but not take actual action for some time. Or use it as leverage to make other deals (change emmisions rules or the national parks get logged)
Thing is, you can’t take back clearcutting an ecological preserve.
Trump and Musk like to talk big and move as fast as possible. The trick will be to ensure that the resource extraction companies can’t take irreversible action as soon as Trump says something stupid, but still have months of paperwork to wade through so there’s time for Trump to be able to change what he originally meant by what he said/signed.

I see this sort of response from Americans over and over, and it makes me crazy.
“there’s going to be incredible pushback.”
Great! Fantastic! WHEN??!?!
In short, he has proven over and over and OVER AGAIN that he is the single biggest enemy of the USA, and the single biggest threat to their continued existence. He is copying Hitler’s playbook from 1933-36 almost to the letter.
And STILL I hear, “oh just you wait - things are gonna happen if he doesn’t stop soon!”
What does it take to get you to realize that the USA is being destroyed by a traitor working for Putin? What will it take for your country to FUCKING ACT RIGHT NOW instead of saying “oh, just wait” again?
Why are Trump and Musk and their entire entourage not in chains, awaiting the death penalty on the far end of high treason charges?
What the fuck are you still waiting for?
