What is happening today in America is exactly what happened in Germany in the 1930s. No one had the guts or the wherewithal to stand up to the Nazis back then, and the rest is history.
President* tRump’s ‘celebration of America’ this past 4th of July weekend pretty much sealed the deal. I couldn’t stand to watch, but the photos I saw reminded me of those good ole Nuremberg Nazi Party rallies from back in the day…
The cowards in Congress will bear equal responsibility when tRump achieves his goal of total dictatorship. Expecting him to lose the 2020 election is the height of cognitive dissonance. The Dems are playing their role in this charade by diluting the field with so many potential candidates, in order to fracture the support of more viable ones.
True progressives will once again be forced out of contention and many potential voters will again be turned off and disillusion will set in. The choice being forced down our throat is: Joe Biden or The Despot.
There is no alternative. This is what American democracy looks like now. The nightmare is all too real. It’s time to wake up – or become “woke” or whatever the fuck it is faux-progressives pretend to be…
The new normal is already just ‘normal’ now. We need to get used to the fact that things will never be the same, despite all this talk about what ‘we the people’ are gonna do once this horrible national nightmare is over. Like, “We’re gonna fix this mess, blah blah blah…”
Forget that pipe dream. It ain’t gonna happen. We’re never going back. Okay? We don’t have even a semblance of a functioning, legitimate government at this point.
The dystopian nightmare is only going to get worse. This is just the beginning. We passed the point of no return in 2016. We’re headed down this obvious path and nothing can stop it. I mean, you’ve got to be some kind of moron NOT to see how this is unfolding. The demons who put tRump in charge clearly knew that whatever was left of the constitution after the USA PATRIOT ACT made no provisions for stopping the Unitary Executive from using his expanded powers to punitively seize all the reins of government from the other supposedly “equal” branches.
They knew they could install the most vile, incompetent cretin as president and there was no way he could ever be impeached – let alone indicted – as sitting Chief Executive. All they had to do was steal another election and Donny would gladly do every bit of the dirty work for them.
And apparently there is no power on Earth or in Heaven that can stop him.
All of this has been happening without so much as a peep from the ‘do-nothing’ Democratic establishment. With a little help of their friends in Mainstream Media (MSM), the GOP absolutely will be able to hang all of the consequences of Donny’s singularly awful presidency* around the necks of the Democrats in 2020 and as usual, the Dems will do nothing in response but shake their heads and wag their fingers…
Nancy Pelosi stands in the way of an impeachment investigation of the most blatantly criminal president* in the history of this nation. It is said by many Dems that she is a wily leader. It seems that she, though maybe truly progressive once, is part of a roadblock to true change today. Is she simply playing her role? Of course. Whatever her issues are, it is quite clear that she is the wrong leader for the party at this time.
Americans need to come to terms with the fact that tRump – like every other major political leader – is simply a puppet. He’s a well-trained mouthpiece for our real rulers; the global financial institutions and multi-national arms makers. tRump is too good a malleable, empty vessel to simply fade into the background. He is the elite’s wet dream: a leader that will do everything he’s told to do, without question and utterly without shame – as long as he can make a few bucks on the side. He has never had an original idea of his own, and yet his dimwitted utterances just endear him to the cretins who vote for him.
One of the many problems here in the USA is that most of those in power are gripped by extreme forms of militant Christianity and Zionism, going right up to the highest levels of government. Presidents, judges, legislators and other public figures are expected to govern based on their belief in God rather than common sense or failing that, actual, legitimate Constitutional laws. These hypocrites are now some of tRump’s strongest supporters, of course. Like Franklin Graham and all of those zany Evangelicals who proclaim that he was chosen by God to lead this country.
His followers are slavish and cult-like. One of his supporters, Mark Lee, summed it up perfectly when he told CNN a few months ago that he trusts the president so much that if Jesus Christ himself got “down off the cross to tell me Trump is with Russia, I’d have to check with Trump…” Seriously.
It would be nigh on impossible to find a more UN-Christian, dishonest human on the planet, and yet: he’s their guy.
Clearly, there is a serious on-going crisis with the US presidency. I can’t imagine any true democracies that would vote such a loathsome creature like tRump into power. And of course we didn’t, actually. I also cannot imagine any other western democracy affording such incredible power to their leader, including the unilateral ability to sign secret executive orders, ignore subpoenas and repeatedly violate the laws of his own country – all at his discretion.
Congress appears to have no power to curb the many illegal activities of this president.* There are no longer any legislative mechanisms in place that can prevent our assiduous march toward global fascism. The Evil Ones are in this for the long-haul and nothing can stop them. Oh, sure there will be a few temporary setbacks, but eventually they will get what they want. They have the power to simply change the laws they don’t like.
The Democrats can’t defeat Trump. That is becoming more obvious as each day passes.
