Trump didn’t just pardon all the January 6 rioters. He hired one - who yelled for rioters to kill police officers he called Nazis - as a top Department of Justice official. Just outrageous. We are increasingly becoming a banana republic with no law.

I have been saying that I assume Trump will be using the pardoned violent criminals that attacked the Capitol as his personal brown shirts, knowing they can't be charged or punished for any violence they commit. This is an example of having a man on the inside.

CLARITY! DOJ now stand for Dictatorship Over Justice. It must be understood: The United States has lost the Department of Justice to authoritarianism. There is no basis for viewing the DOJ as independent from the Trump Regime. It now an internal colonial tool of Trump/Project 2025 autocracy.

Oh you’re not becoming one, you’re there. Nobody stopped him. Now it’s too late. America is a fascist country & the cruelty will get worse by the day. Trump will rape, pillage, & plunder America until there’s nothing left & he’ll do it rapidly.

The Left is culpable here as well. As a lifelong Democrat voter it was appalling to witness the rifts within the party. The uncommitted movement, 3rd party protest voting, it all helped the MAGA chicanery prevail. And now we are here.

Kudos to Senator Murphy for calling out the fascism a step ahead of everyone else. Yes we are frustrated by the Democratic Party not being THE resistance party, but the blue state governors are shaping up. We can hope that Americans in red states are awake to the fascism and will resist too.

It is time to stop using qualifiers - we ARE a banana republic - we HAVE no law. U.S. is now an AUTOCRACY. Next step is to take the country back to a representative democracy. We need leaders to do that. I believe you are one of them.

“Becoming” is doing a lot of hard work in that sentence. In all fairness, from here in Europe it’s already impossible to distinguish between an archetypal banana republic and the US.

My feeling - viewing US from overseas - is that it already is a banana republic. The boiling frog metaphor seems apt: just imagine how you would have viewed the current state of affairs if you’d been shown it 10 years ago before Trump’s first term
