The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.

You can't celebrate 250 years next year because the Constitution is no longer valid. The United States of America lasted 249 years. Next year will be year one of the oligarchy demagogue era.

Been saying the same. You can’t celebrate something that doesn’t exist. We chose to end democracy and reinforce imperialism of the entitled white patriarchy last election, instead of allowing a qualified woman to lead.

We've had to endure this before. Some of our grandparents & great grandparents paid the ultimate price. Approximately 417,000 Americans (and millions more around the world) died fighting against fascism in the 20th century during World War II against Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, & Imperial Japan.

Pretty soon, MAGA I is gonna get a big surprise when Trump and the DOJ decide that they want to confiscate everybody’s personal firearms because of a state of emergency. It’s in the dictator’s playbook so it will happen.

Everything MAGA is fundamentally based on fear. They are inherently weak people. They will not stand up when the regime comes for their guns. If they had any courage, they would be standing up now to fight for their livelihood, jobs, farms, and children’s future… which are all now at risk.

They won't care. They will do whatever their cult leaders command without much thought. The liberals though will celebrate it as it's the gun control they've begged for, even while watching Trump's new personal army gun down civilians.

The word "white" was implicitly present before the word "men". Slaves were not considered human by the majority. Which illustrates how wrong "imperfect" a system of majority rules was then and is now when checks and balances are a matter of good faith and not enforced independently of human control.

It is important to remember democracy was purchased with blood and requires blood to maintain. It is an unfortunate truth.
