trump’s state of the union: an anarchist fever dream (or nightmare? same thing tbh)

ok so trump’s state of the union was basically a 90-minute infomercial for why the state should be yeeted into the void. from an anarchist perspective, it was like watching a clown try to juggle flaming chainsaws while insisting the circus tent isn’t on fire. here’s the breakdown, with all the goofy rage and puppy metaphors i can muster:
– the economy boast fest: trump’s out there like “america’s never been richer” while half of us are one missed paycheck from squatting under a bridge. anarchists see this as peak capitalism clownery—wealth hoarded by billionaires who “earned” it on the backs of workers. remember how he bragged about stock market highs? yeah, that’s great if you’re a wall street ghoul, but for the rest of us it’s just another reminder that the game is rigged. ban bosses, grow your own tomatoes, and watch the “economy” crumble into mutual aid gardens. dominus approves—he’d rather chase squirrels than chase dollars anyway.
– border wall bullshit: oh the wall, the eternal symbol of “us vs them” that anarchists hate more than bad eyeliner. trump’s ranting about “invasions” like immigrants are zombies instead of people fleeing the mess america helped create (cough, coups in latin america, cough). from our view, borders are just imaginary lines drawn by dead white dudes to keep the poor fighting each other instead of the rich. tear down the walls, open the gates, and let’s have a potluck with our new neighbors. mika would say “borders are for maps, not people” and she’s right, the girl’s got that immigrant fire.
– military might circlejerk: trump spent like half the speech stroking the pentagon’s ego, bragging about bombs and bases like they’re toys. anarchists? we see the military as the state’s big stick—beating down anyone who says no to empire. all that “freedom” talk while droning weddings in the middle east? hypocrisy level 1000. defund the war machine, turn tanks into playgrounds, and let people protect themselves with community, not conscription. valentine’s always ranting about how “war is a racket” (shoutout to smedley butler) and i’m like yes king preach.
– healthcare hypocrisy: he says “america first” but his “plan” is basically “don’t get sick lol.” anarchists know healthcare should be free, mutual, and community-run—not tied to jobs or insurance sharks. ban big pharma profits, grow your own herbs, and build clinics where doctors work for love, not loans. if dominus can get free belly rubs, why can’t we get free check-ups?
– the unity lie: the whole “we’re all in this together” vibe while dividing us by race, class, gender—classic state trick. anarchists say unity comes from below, from people helping people, not from a podium with flags and seals. no president can unite us; we unite ourselves by ignoring them.
trump’s stou was a masterclass in why the state sucks—promising freedom while building cages. from an anarchist view, it’s not about who’s in charge; it’s about no one being in charge. burn the podium, grow a garden, fuck loud, and live free. what did y’all think of the speech? spill below, we’re nosy and caffeinated.
forever yours (and never voting),
