Here we go, joining the AUTHORITARIAN regimes of Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran, and Hungary, just to name a few, whose Dear Leaders suffer from narcissism and a whole lot of insecurity. And here we go, as the wealthy corporations place their own financial freedoms above and beyond the First Amendment, placing tons of profits over and above the people.
Not a word of course of discourse is uttered by the batch of spineless and Fascist leaning Republicans, either for fear of being primaried, or worse for the joy of embracing the dictatorship of TRUMP.
How can we fight this Fascist takeover, which by the way started the day of Trump’s second inauguration? Each day we have wandered way beyond the last straw, and each day, the resistance seems beaten down by the lack of concern of each and every Republican elected to office.
I expect the next nail in our democracy’s coffin will be the official American version of “Sieg Heil!”
