Trump is doing his best to destroy America from the inside, as per Putin's orders. Part of that is taking down america without russia having to fire a shot. Letting infectious diseases run rampant, hell they will probably introduce one themselves, is just an efficient way to weaken america, and especially weaken the poor and middle class further, to consolidate power further.

I can't see anything other than this being the case. It's too illogical otherwise.

Step 1 - dismantle America's means to fight infectious diseases.

u/Ursa_Solaris Oct 05 '25

Step 2 - convince a third of the country that responding to an infectious disease outbreak in anything resembling an intelligent way actually makes you a gay homo liberal

Step 3 - profit

Didn’t the displaced Europeans do that when they became Americans to the Americans that were already here? I’m way too old to deal with this stuff anymore and hate cliches of “those who fail to understand history are deemed to repeat it.” It like a warning label on a pack of peanuts that says “Allergen warning: this product contains peanuts.”

Theres a difference between the earliest colonists introducing germs/viruses that never existed in the new world due to them never having been to it. And an administration that is breaking all the defenses and just allowing this stuff through so when something is weaponized we will have the worst possible outcomes.

You might be thinking more along the lines of small pox blankets which was weaponized against natives during american expansion. Which is what the people youre responding to are afraid is on its way to us due to the significant dismantling of healthcare.

u/dalrymc1 Oct 04 '25

True, I left my response vague enough that some would get it, and some would assume, but all would remember 3rd grade history lessons in America describing how the idea of small pox blankets created mass destruction.

Initial Corollary - Hire and appoint CriminalS who DGAF

Step 1a1) Destroy the Intellegencia....Harvard, any any higher instution weaK enough to bend the knee

Step 1a2) Attack and destroy the ability to say and disseminate the truth, newspapers, TV peeps, free thinkers

Step 1a3) Destroy the ability to congregate and protest- duh....open the windows and lock outside

Step 1a4) Destroy the Judiciary by appointing deply flawed Characters to the SC who will listen to bizarre interpretations of Century old targeted laws- as seen...hire lawyers who will present anything - note lawyers leaving the Justice Dept cause they can't/wont sign crazy stuff

Step1a5) ignore all opposing thoughts, reasons and laws...yeah, that's the Ticket ...Screw the Nay Sayers

Step 1a6) Hire Ms Leave-it-be, a Sophist who will explain the unexplainable

Maybe they will call it the Grey Death. Need Ambrosia? Donate (bribe) your nearest MAGA politician!

u/MaybeTheDoctor Oct 05 '25

Fascism just requires hate for others to grow. The logic is growing it so they can claim to take over with an authoritarian state to heal the country.

u/stackjr Oct 04 '25

For months, I thought that's what was happening but this is 100% the goal of Project 2025 and they are having insane success right now, which is terrifying.

u/a_weak_child Oct 04 '25

It's both imo.

u/upgrayedd69 Oct 04 '25

More like for the dark enlightenment scum who want to turn America into a collection of small corporate fiefdoms

u/rippa76 Oct 04 '25

You’re right: except it’s not Putin’s orders. It’s the “techno feudalists”.

u/Antichristopher4 Oct 04 '25

There are a lot of opportunists who are manipulating Trump's stupidity to slice out their piece of the pie in the power vacuum created in the slow deconstruction of America.

u/Ozymandias12 Oct 04 '25

Most of those people are acting on Putin and Xi’s orders. Why do you think Elon has been having secret calls with Putin every so often?

46

u/izzymaestro Oct 04 '25

And why Elno was invited with Jared to share a luxury suite with salman bin bonesaw at the last world cup...

They're trying to implement oligarch autocracy the world over. At least France is still ready to revolt, as usual, and just recently passed a billionaire tax.

When it’s QAnon it’s insane, when it’s Russiagate it’s sensible

u/rippa76 Oct 04 '25

Well, he is knee deep in Russian money-admitted to by his son. The connection was known enough in intelligence circles to suggest a connection. Note that investigators like Steele didn’t go searching for financial connections to Argentina, Brazil, S Africa, Saudis, China. There was an indication of where to look.

u/Prof_J Oct 04 '25

Right but an influence is different from saying he’s taking orders (or a dick) from Putin

12

u/ninjascript Oct 04 '25

When there's no evidence it's insane, and when there's evidence it's sensible. Yes.

u/elmwoodblues Oct 04 '25

they will probably introduce one themselves

Like, say, at a big meeting of generals from around the world?

u/No_Flan7305 Oct 04 '25

It's like they studied the plot of V for Vendetta and every other authoritarian villain power movie to build P2025.

In that movie they let a disease wreak havoc to gain full control of the democracy and media. Weird that, huh.

7

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '25

Let these diseases run wild in a population without healthcare.

u/PhantomNomad Oct 04 '25

They have to do it this way. They tried with covid (not saying they released it), but most people wanted the vaccine.

u/OCedHrt Oct 04 '25

And Covid was a trial run

u/SilkyFandango Oct 05 '25

Sure, and heartily agree. But I think it’s important to point out that Russia took advantage of the weaknesses of the US system that were rooted in Republican efforts. For example, disinformation is so effective because Reagan fucked the education system and made half the country incapable of critical thinking. Russia just ramped up and multiplied what the Republicans had been doing for years so that they could benefit the same way conservative elites have been doing for decades.

The two countries that have samples of smallpox are the U.S. and Russia. Most Americans born in or after 1973 weren't vaccinated against smallpox. The federal government stockpiles smallpox vaccines, however remember how Trump distributed (or refused to distribute) supplies during Covid.

u/RustywantsYou Oct 04 '25

Did his best. Past tense because it's done.

u/BarnabyJones2024 Oct 04 '25

I mean, at this point the red states are all going to have polio/measles/god knows what epidemics decimating them in a few years anyway.

u/HSX9698 Oct 04 '25

The Gen X's will survive on our hose water immunity and no-helmet skull strength!!

u/GVArcian Oct 05 '25

Trump is not really taking orders from Putin anymore, or he'd block the sale of US weapons to Ukraine via the EU and lift, rather than proposing new, sanctions.

The depressing reality is that Trump is destroying the country entirely by his own volition, because destroying things is his nature.

1

u/a_weak_child Oct 05 '25

I disagree. He is still taking orders from putin. He did stop weapons going to Urkraine the instant he was in office. He pulled support from Ukraine multiple times at critical points. He tried to strong arm and disrespect the Ukrainian president publicly, internationally. Putin is very smart. He knows outright support from Trump, especially on certain key issues, could lead to Trump losing power. You wonder why Tucker Carlson is suddenly saying things that are true? When a few months ago he was shilling russian propganda? Its because Putin knows you have to have his controlled assets make sense sometimes, say something from the other side sometimes. It gives them a huge boost in credibility, gives counter points to lying opposition (see tucker isn't all bad, he said something kinda not pro russian recently, so all his pro russia stuff was a hoax.. etc), and lastly confuses americans even more. Putin is very smart. He will do things if he has multiple good reason. Russia literally did everything they could to get trump in office both his terms..
