I agree with everything in this article. Decline… disastrous end to the American Empire. And it is just the beginning. “It is tempting to personalize the decay, as if ridding ourselves of Trump will return us to sanity and sobriety.”

But the rot and corruption has ruined all of our democratic institutions, which function in form, not in content. The consent of the governed is a cruel joke.

Congress is a club on the take from billionaires and corporations. The courts are appendages of corporations and the rich. The press is an echo chamber of the elites, some of whom do not like Trump, but none of whom advocate the social and political reforms that could save us from despotism.

It is about how we dress up despotism, not despotism itself. @mmflint.bsky.social “Trump the pyromaniac entertains us as we go down.”
