The precise moment when and where the United States of America crossed from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that the line has been crossed.

It's only a matter of time before this hits the USA financially.

I don't see how people are still saying the US is dangerously close and we're approaching this or that or that it's becoming obvious. That ship has sailed, crashed into a reef and sank. I can't imagine how someone would be able to argue otherwise

It was 01/20/2025 with the order to pardon all individuals that tried to overthrow our government by the person who would have benefited.

It began with corporations being more powerful and having more rights than human beings.

You are so right. Citizens United put us on this road. Mitch McConnell steered the whole damn thing. We can lay all of this at his feet. Trump is just a symptom, Mitch McConnell brought the illness.

the thing is, they warned us loud & clear; too many ignored it & too many thought it was merely hysteria on the part of those on the left. "a 2nd american revolution is coming, & it can be a bloodless one if the left allows it to be." & we've been hearng abt & readng project 2025 for over a year.

I think that can be debated by many people. But I saw it coming in 2016. You always hope you're wrong but I didn't think I was. The thing is both times he was elected, I didn't think he would be. I still don't think he was elected. I think he was installed. And here we are.
