Are we sure this isnt exactly what the current administration wants to happen? Less press so they can get away with more?
Since nobody is protesting now you can expect that 5 years from now the regime will start making disappear people vaguely opposing the gov decisions or being suicided on a regular basis.
Not the case, there are quite large protests, one is this weekend I believe.
As for disappearances, ICE is already doing that. Although in Chicago their attempts to disappear people are going increasingly poorly, since ICE's appearance in a neighborhood now typically draws dozens of people onto the street to protest.
War journalists will keep reporting. This just means the government’s position doesn’t get a say every time.
The skyscraper is the size / scope / power of the US Federal Government (although incidentally it's also housing the US Constitution). And the planes are the entirely unqualified loyalists and useful idiots appointed to top positions of power.
Good impact, that's much harder.
But even with the benefit of hindsight, it's not always clear if a politician's impact was good or bad: people over here are debating how good Angela Merkel really was, and she's been out of office for 4 years (after 16 in power).
They’re doing great at both those things.
Not that it matters: my previous point was more that "being fast" doesn't preclude them being idiots, nor being malicious to the interests of voters.
_Change_ is easy. Anyone can break stuff. _Positive_ change is more difficult.
