I could see how some people might think all of this turmoil is the greatest thing to happen to America since it's inception.
Think of the hatemonger and the Neo-Nazi's... they are tickled pink over every single thing happening right now. They are celebrating finally having a president that serves them.
But here's the problem with Naziism and all of that right-wing ideology, it's not democracy. It's the exact opposite of democracy.
Believing your "right" is the only "right" is Democracy. Fighting for your "right" to be the only "right" is Democracy.
Gunning down those who don't believe in your "right" is a crime. Not democracy.
When they bully judges into rulings and making them sign loyalty oaths. Not democracy.
Threatening to cancel elections. Not democracy.
Defying our congressionally signed treaty's which are the law of the land and threatening military action against a NATO ally. Not democracy.
The senate is a sham. They have no intention of doing the job the Constitution describes because they are simply making too much money to do anything else. Not democracy.
If all you want is a king because you are too cowardly to live in a nation with people who have opinions you don't agree with, you don't deserve the democracy so many people fought and died for...
I hope they get thier king. I do. I want to see him crown himself king and then watch as they celebrate it.
But they are missing one very big piece of the puzzle...
Once our democracy is dead... everything that kept all of this shit from collapsing dies with it.
Europe is already no longer viewing the u.s. as an ally. Soon, if we kill NATO troops, they will be forced to treat us as an enemy... or cower in fear.
I'm gonna say they world isn't going to cower in fear to trump. I just don't see it.
I think they'll just cut us off and wreck our economy and then well, that will be a new cause for war for trump, won't it.
Honestly, I don't believe it's going to play out like that.
Trump is a rapist. He's probably a child molester. His friends are money grubbing demons who feast on misery for a buck. Eventually main street will be so disgusted by this shit that it won't allow it's children to become jack-booted murderers. Maybe...
I never in a million years thought you could find one American that would ever support executing Americans... now I look at the news and MAGA and I realize how completely wrong I was.
I hope these people get the "democracy" they want. If just for a moment. I want the world to see exactly who they are...
They want to shoot people down to scare everyone else into submission. That's the only move they are making... intentionally going into Minnesota and violating civil rights and then threatening to send in the Army to finish the job... this is the democracy they wanted when they voted for trump. Make no mistake... the MAGA crowd are so pleased with the democracy they practice.
They got to storm the capitol building, they got kill a police officer, they got to see thier rapist child molesting king reelected and now they are loving the show... loving it. You don't really get it... they aren't going to recoil back no matter how brutal.
MAGA folk want bloodshed. They thirst for it. They want to watch people being butchered... like a stock car race accident. It's not really the point of going but it does break up the monotony.
These people have a reality tv show democracy where they're voting people off the island... only those people are being disappeared and sometime just shot in the head. That's the democracy of the right. That's what Republicanism is... that's what MAGA wants... don't delude yourselves. You can see exactly who they are...
Remember, when someone tells you who they are... believe them. When they show you who they are, never believe them again.
If we are allowed to have a midterm and I am not so sure anymore. I know they are laughing it off as a joke but I don't find it remotely funny. All it takes is for ICE agents to stir up enough trouble in enough areas where democrats vote, they can suspend all voting rights, line the voting booths with FBI and DHS agents and ensure, your vote never matters.
That's the end game here.... that is precisely what they want...
I honestly don't think that's going to happen. I really don't but that's the democracy they want... that's the America MAGA and trump and the republican congress and judges want. It's what our supreme court wants... well the ones that signed the loyalty to oath to trump that this is...
One day, they will put thier boots on the necks of the American people so harshly that even the half-hearted patriots won't tolerate it. It's slowly starting to happen now. If and probably when they arrest the gov of Minnesota, that may have a chilling effect, you never know. But always remember... even if the republicans turn... like Marjorie Taylor Greene... This is who they are. At thier core... they are showing us the republican democracy they want for thier country and the rest of the world. Anyone who doesn't believe in that is a terrorist... and it probably does terrorize them... the thought that one day, they may be held into account for crimes against the very democracy they are hiding behind and using to brutalize the world and our own citizens.
I'd say shame on them but they have none. It's only about greed and power... don't forget that the president is a real convicted rapist... that's who they wanted as a king. That's who they got as a king and they could not be happier. He's probably a child molester. Another reason to celebrate? Is thier idea of democracy using laws to help them get away with crimes against humanity?
We must keep believing we will be allowed to hold an election in November. The president has already explained that that's now on the table... same as invading and murdering NATO troops... that's just casual business. Always remember, this is who they are... at their core...
I know bill mar said we should still talk to them. That we should deal with them. That they are our family... I'm sorry, I just can't. They are ripping up the Constitution and actually murdering people in the streets... with total immunity from the president. Total immunity.
In a democracy, there is no such thing as total immunity... not even for the king.
