We have never been here before. I keep having to remind people that the Supreme Court has granted the president essentially dictatorial powers. and now a rapist, a 34 time convicted felon, who’s jailed children, defrauded students, stolen from charity, stolen our national secrets, promised to release violent criminals, one who’s praised dictators, while expressing his intentions to be one, and promising his supporters that they will not have to vote again.
There are no checks and balances left, this man now controls all three branches of the government because the other two have both shown repeatedly that they will let him get away with anything.
Come this January, democracy is dead, we will be living under a trump dictatorship.
No we haven’t been here. Last time was just prep work for this. And we didn’t dismantle that work. We’re primed to efficiently implement the wishes of tyrants.
Well, we have been here before, but they picked the wrong comparison point.
The correct parallel is the Weimar Republic in the early 1930s.
And yes: I’m saying this is likely the inception of the first American Reich (or whatever it ends up being called), only this time it’ll be theocratic too, so the hardcore fanatics will also know they’ve got god on their side. Wcgw.
