Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

I'm betting Venezuela.
Low hanging grapes - lots of oil, poorly defended, access through the Gulf of America where random unknown boats are blown up, minimizing piracy risk, no canal travel required.

Could be right. But also: here's Trump from his March 4 State of the Union:
"To further enhance our national security, my administration will reclaim the Panama Canal, and we've already started doing it...It was given away by the Carter administration...We're taking it back." (Loud applause from Repugs.)
In Trump's conniving brain: Cheap, relatively. Doable. Relatively small target. Huge ego boost for the base -- I got back our canal. Diversion effect: massive.

It's always just blind trust in authority.

Nah, it’s eyes are wide open:

Side bet: if Trump does occupy the Canal Zone, it will trigger the Chinese to take Taiwan as a "good for the goose" moment. If Trump is trying to contain both Panama and Portland, he'll turn his back on Taipei.

Luckily, This kind of thing would only be a problem in a country where any whack job who is easily influenced by violent political rhetoric has easy access to deadly weaponry and can purchase them with pretty much no questions asked.

MAGA's finest. An evil flame throwing prick . Just like Trump.

Rep. John Gillette, R-Kingman, wrote on the social media site X that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was calling for the government to be overthrown and should be hanged.

“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried convicted and hanged.. it will continue,” Gillette said in response to a video of Jayapal.

Rump is NOT "the government". He is just hired help. And extreamly incompetent at his job, and needs to be kicked to the street.

We all know of one actual attempt to overthrow the US government, and surely that is worse than simply advocating for "overthrow" (she actually only called for non-violent resistance).
