  • He doesn’t just want to be a dictator, he is actively taking steps to entrench and enshrine himself as one; and our feckless SCrOTUS and Congress are only too happy to do whatever is necessary to further this agenda. For those that support him, the math is simple: “Being in his favor may yield rewards.” For those that oppose him the math is still simple, “He’s going to leave office eventually, then it’ll ‘our turn’ and we’ll be able to rule an authoritarian state with absolute power and a fully functioning surveillance network.” The American Experiment has failed…miserably. The US and indeed the rest of the world need to stop pretending that this is suddenly going to end, or cooler heads will prevail. The US is a threat to global stability, peace, and prosperity. Any state, government, monarch, or political body that hasn’t accepted that this is the new reality is deluding themselves. This is the new normal and we only become more fascist, draconian, and totalitarian as the days go by. President Thunder Thighs still has 3+ more years left in his Constitutionally mandated term, and it’s only taken him 9 months to dismantle everything resembling functional representative democracy. By the time his term is “up” there will be one party rule, lifetime appointments to office, the dissolution of all other branches of governments, and the complete closure of borders (publicly to keep undesirables out, but functionally to prevent brain drain and keep everyone in). Everyday he and his cronies find some new way to assume more power, and there is no check or balance to combat that. While many will say “it’s defeatist” or “don’t give up”, we’re watching in real time as the mechanisms for voicing and acting on dissent are being dismantled or criminalized. They come back harder after every set back and it’s only a matter of time before even this comment becomes a crime against the state.
