Trump is dismantling democracy right in front of us. He operates on the principle that people will think that if he does it openly and in public, there can't be anything wrong with it. Do not be deceived.

Putin re-installed his Russian puppet regime in DC without a shot fired.
The USA have de-facto already left #NATO.
Americans are refusing to talk about it as if the #AmericanStasi agents were already listening in. (Which they are.) Thread: https://bsky.app/profile/idiokratie.bsky.social/post/3ljxag4z5u425
Agreed.They only LIE about what they are doing and why-calling it “eliminating waste” rather than “we are getting rid of everything that makes us the USA: education, generosity, kindness, regard for others, freedom, integrity. Conclusion: it’s outright greed and cruelty. Evil.
Human rights violations and the destruction of the Constitution will do nothing to lessen his MAGA support. But, let the economy and market tank, they’ll start turning on him. And it’s beginning.
Joyce I think we all know that
But who the “f” is going to stop him?
Btw we know it is being managed by the Prop 2025 traitors
This is not only the dotard
We know what is happening
We are like the Germans who watched Hitler do the same thing
Who is leading us?
Know anyone who has a plan?
These are scary times.
Personally I have a theory.
Are you familiar with the “private prisons” that were built and the government contracts with them? See if you can research it a bit and then we can talk about it if you want.
I don't think anyone's being deceived. For some reason, we are all just sitting on our thumbs waiting for next guy to do anything about this crap while we watch our country being dismantled before our eyes.
“On June 15, 2015, we saw Roger Ailes of Fox News had planned a coming out party, a publicity- kick off campaign for Trump on the descending, faux, painted golden escalator! We weren’t deceived! Trump was awash with ‘Apprentice’ betrayals back then and has always been an interloper of Deception!”
The biggest problem is the right wing media filling these cultists’ brains with lies. Lies they believe, share with others, and fight over.
I bet if the typical maga person knew the truth about the what he is doing and what he is actually like, they would hate him.
I seriously doubt that. I think he's operating on the principal that if he does it fast enough, the courts can't keep up and it'll be destroyed beyond repair before we can stop him. That's how all the other folks who successfully destroyed their democracy did it
I’m not deceived, Joyce, but what the hell am I supposed to do about it? My Senator, Dick Durbin, doesn’t respond to constituent messages and then votes for cloture on Trump’s budget. Are we supposed to be “tourists” and have “one beautiful day” on Capitol Hill?
Why are they not being arrested? The things this administration is doing is illegal and they are defying Court orders. They are being allowed to just run over the Condtitution. Is it ever going to stop?
Jan 6: The person with the authority to stop the attack on the gov is the one who authorized the attack.
Who has the authority to stop this? scotus? They gave him ultimate rule. Whose orders will LE follow? There's certainly someone much smarter than me who knows, but I'm at a loss.
Joyce, what of a Democracy that does not account for it's own security and possible eventualities? Surely when Germany's democracy fell, there were corrections in Germany. Why were similar protections not adopted here. Trump is using the same methods that Hitler did! Are we really that stupid?
This is really the worst post I have seen on any platform. People believe there is nothing wrong because there is never any accountability. Do you think people would believe January 6th was a day of peace if all the politicians involved were swiftly rounded up and handcuffed??
I hate this post. This is such garbage. He has always done everything out in the open because our justice system has let him get away with it. Nothing validates bad behavior more than a lack of accountability.
Thanks to McConnell and his cronies over last 4 decades.
Biden did what he could by appointing more judges than ever, but will it be enough, no, if the judge is scared,compromised or threatened enough. I think Cannon was threatened and it why she has done what she has to survive. He is Dangerous!
It’s interesting that this can be done by a group that includes 2 South Africans, a German and and an English while Americans are talking about a constitution and strange beast called American Democracy.
Bipartisanship is dead & the Dems don't seem to realize. The GOP has said, we want it all, including your grandmother's teeth, and the Dems are worried that saying, "Stop it!" will look bad to the voters at midterms. At this rate we won't have midterms, and trump will play 'president' forever...
It's not so much that he thinks if he does it openly no one will care. He does it openly because he has no fear of the courts or law enforcement. The courts can be delayed and befuddled to the point that it will take decades to enforce any rulings.
Time to start publishing resources for survive a devolve into whatever variety of autocracy this is. We have lost. You haven’t realized yet. There is no large consensus to rally with. Too many GOP are still eating lies and waiting for the yuge payoff for all the hardship. Buckle up. Share resources
The Trump-Musk Chaos Presidency isn't just dismantling democracy, he's destroying the United States of America! Everyday, we're less safe and it's not going to end well for any of us!
We’re protesting and making our voices heard. However, they are ignoring us and getting ready to start arresting us. Our politicians are too spineless and feckless. The Dems are too disarrayed and the leadership is not up to this fight.
So do I. There's other times in history that went totally sideways. Stalin comes to mind but sadly most people only know the name and that's it. He's guilty of between 9 and 20 million.
I know you probably won’t answer this but I’m asking anyway. Trump and Musk are doing so much damage. Dems have no power to impeach or invoke the 25th Amendment. Could they possibly file something to the courts to reign him in? This is outrageous. Trump is a demented psychopath.
We keep talking and talking and talking. At point will we decide the only only logical next step is political violence. It has come to the point that you cannot voice your opinion at a town hall with your elected representative violating your constitutional rights. Trump needs to be reigned in.
So far the only thing reigning him in are the courts. If he defies the courts, the next step will probably be Massive protests. Violence should be our last resort. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
some within the military community are urging troops to “lawyer up” and prepare to resist what they consider unethical orders, saying resistance can be justified if the soldier thinks it would jeopardize the soldier’s own conception of military “neutrality.”
If we get fast and loose with rules of engagement or if we get into operations without a stated mission and intent, we’re going to be headline news, and it’s not going to be good,” Covault said in the interview.
underway inside the U.S. military community about what orders it would be obliged to obey if President-elect Donald Trump decides to follow through on his previous warnings that he might deploy troops against what he deems domestic threats, including political enemies, dissenters and immigrants.
But some in the U.S. military fear next time could be different. According to nearly a dozen retired officers and current military lawyers, as well as scholars who teach at West Point and Annapolis, an intense if quiet debate is
I am losing my patience with the responsiveness of the courts. The courts need be more forceful in the court orders. We have never experienced a president who ignores court orders. Is this grounds for removal?
Everything he’s doing is grounds for removal. How we remove him is another story. The Republicans have a slim majority right now. So there’s no point in bringing articles of impeachment.
So I’m hoping it’s because they want to make sure their i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. SCOTUS can’t take on all these suits. Right now there’s over 124 of them.
I’m actually surprised they’re moving so quickly, though most are restraining orders. They had 4 years to deal with tRump and all they did was delay! Now he’s back again! Even more emboldened. Yes, you’re right! It’s unprecedented.
And you, Americans are doing nothing. You’re letting him do it. What’s this your second amendment that you people are always saying that you have to protect or you could stop this but you’re too scared. Americans are always scared.
Seriously? We're in BIG TROUBLW,since you and so many don't see the obvious. Rump-Muks staged a COUP, disguised as an election win. Muks fixed the election.
The plan? To totally dismantle and destroy America.
That's what they're doing. AND Rump is using stolen illegitimately his, ...

Trump / Vance are just marketing puppets. The white supremacist tech psychopaths are dismantling democracy. They're not even trying to hide it. They even wrote books and blog posts about it!
Meaning they're supporting DOGE and the harm it's doing?
I think it depends on where outside the Bluesky bubble one lands. On Twitter, I get the impression it's mobbed by single, young incel types who have no stake in anything. They just want to "stick it to the libs".
Hopefully that part of their psychology that was vulnerable to being exploitively manipulated when this started will be permanently shut down by their disillusioned rage. As long as it's permanently shut down and not simply retooled for further manipulation, the boiling point is inevitable, imho.
The Republicans will not talk to their constituents and now I just heard that @schumer.senate.gov won’t either! Geez, I never thought we’d be in the same boat as those stupid Republicans
We need to shut the country down and remove them forcibly. People scuff at my strategy, but he won’t stop and he won’t leave! There is no other way! No one in the media says what they know about it. We have to rise up to stop this. We must do it before he controls the military generals.
If our collective future sits with a bunch of uneducated, out of touch, religious zealot type people who think Donald Trump is "The Truth" and a Messiah then I have ZERO hope for the long term prospects of the United States of America.
There is no deception from Trump. He told Americans what he was going to do. Yet, America voted him in. And this is because his past crimes had no consequences. Trump is a self-inflicted wound and a steep price has to be paid before this mayhem is over.
Similar to what he did on the podium in front of cams to call his goons to march towards the US Capitol on J6. He hasn't shot anyone live on cam on 5th Ave yet, but he's been demolishing the government functions publicly. What's on his minds are as disturbing as any criminal on the move.
The problem here is that no one seems to be able to stop him. He is doing whatever he wants, and since he is surrounded by loyalists who back all his idiotic actions, no one lifts a finger to stop him.
Our nation and the world deserve so much better than what we are getting from POTUS, his minions, the U.S. Congress and those that support them in overturning the U.S. Constitution, Justice, the Rule of Law, kindness, compassion and decency in the Government of the United States of America. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦
Right, but he also understands that no one is going to do anything about it, because the guardrails were already removed before this fascist moment could take place. I’m not getting a, “Nothing to see here” vibe from Trump. It’s more like fascistic, “What are you going to do about it?” scorn.
And problem is, Schumer and some of our D senators are complicit. Lost our best chance to make our voices heard when Schumer kissed the ring and raised the white flag to the crap burger CR left on their door step.
Strongly disagree. Those who pushed him out and put Harris in a no win situation are. And they are some of the same ones who just sold us down the river with the crap filled CR.
Who's gonna stop him if he just ignores the law & courts???
He controls every federal branch of government, every federal law enforcement agency with hand-picked sycophants, SCOTUS (who gave him king-like immunity powers), and most importantly (& most scary) the military with hand-picked sycophants.
NOT ONE MORE DIME to Democrats until the party changes leadership. Jeffries & Schumer both have got to step down and let others lead. Jeffries was an epic fail letting 10 Dems vote against Al Green. And now Schumer - what a COWARD. He has got to be forced to step down now. It can't wait. Unreal.
Got that right Completely. He thinks we r all suckers & idiots & the question is , r we passively going to take this or fight back ? Really the only question ?
Why are the powers that be sitting by and not doing anything to stop him. I realize the courts are stopping him, but it’s like playing wack-a-mole! Can’t Congress do something! I realize the Republicans are in control but Trump and Musk are destroying it all!
It isn't deception if it's true.
Stop pretending.
The legal system has long been a buy your own justice system.
A new union must form and once again smash the same ideology we fought during the first Civil War.
The Governor's of Illinois & Minnesota get it.
Wake up prosecutor, you are sleeping.
My biggest fear is what we don't know. Trump is bent on attacking anyone not showing him favor, attacking the Media, Judges, threatening to go after anyone that won't kiss the ring is scary.
"Americans’ complete lack of familiarity with real-world authoritarianism, showing up again. They don’t understand that this is exactly what happens in authoritarian countries, outside of totalitarianism."
I observe this with my 6 Trumpster sibs and other relatives. Trump & Musk have them convinced that Dems are evil and part of the deep state that is finally and thankfully being dismantled . I expect them to cheer as Musk “saves” social security with cuts & privatization brought on by deep state
Yes, the right-wing feeds are the problem. Whenever Trump gores someone’s ox, OAN and the like will ignore it or just spin it to be some grand achievement. People actually believe Trump is a decisive manager who has a master plan. Kinda tough to believe when he has a 15 min. attention span.
Musk and DOGE are my Trumpster relatives’ heros. saving the country from the evil Dems—they post that crap and then next ask when I’m coming home for a visit
He only gets away with criminal behavior because lazy Americans allow him to. Americans, to busy enjoying the fruits of Democracy, have forgotten how to nurture Democracy everyday of their lives. Democracy must be cultivated everyday.
Historic speech in DC yesterday. Delivering 1000% the energy needed for this historic moment was founder of American Opposition; Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos.
"WE are the American people! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! And WE will NEVER allow them to STEAL it from us. So will you all PLEASE: STAND THE FUCK UP!!!!"
A Con man. We let a con man - with virtually zero governing ability and experience, and a long record of fraud and mismanagement - to essentially destroy what was left of our flawed democracy.
It's really on us.
@joycewhitevance.bsky.social Keep your eyes on the sky today, Joyce!!! I hope the chickens have a safe place to go in the event of extreme severe today. Today looks really, really bad. 🥺 🌪️
🤔 I’m thinking if you don’t start fighting back now, marching etc…when you do it will be illegal and he will call for martial law. He has started with the universities. Your rights are being taken away a little every day.
He does it openly and surreptitiously. The guy who has accused Obama and Biden of creating the “deep state” as a distraction, has himself been instrumental in getting into the bowels of government to destabilize , reorganize and control.
How do you stop dumb and stupid though when more than half of the voting population are ok with it? Is it ok to lose your country because the evil usurpers can't seem to be found illegal?
I think it's all to make people fear him. If he says it out loud, it makes him look like a king. "Look what I can do!" His whole cabinet is filled with human scum.
Trump told us what he would do before he was elected. So, why is anyone surprised? What surprises me is the total lack of response in kind from those sworn to protect our Government.
I agree but…we can’t keep talking about Democracy. We did that during the campaign. It didn’t resonate. We need to be very specific about what they’re doing. Jobs lost, research shutdown, tariffs, etc. The people (MAGA voters) who need to get the message, hear the word Democracy and tune out.
Yes, this stark truth holds a deep fear - that by trying to respond through legal means and legal processes, we’ll be too late. We can’t be too late, we can’t be - too much is at stake.
Americans won’t believe there’s a problem until they can’t heat their homes, feed their children and are struggling to survive. A sea of humanity will descend upon Washington DC and in the words of Howard Beale cry, “I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!” Where will blame fall?
Republicans did this to America. It’s been their plan since Reagan. They finally found their perfect vehicle in trump to deliver the coup de gras to America. People should have realized how serious they were during the racist teaparty klan rally days of the Obama admin. Federalist Society SCOTUS.
Some are. Some are looking the other way hoping he doesn’t come for their revenue streams. And a section of the legal profession are on the inside helping him.
Trump has signed EOs against at least two law firms so far, attempting to cripple much of their work by removing security clearances etc.
It’s a direct attack on their ability to function.
Projection. Dumpt going after prosecutors that followed the law & investigated him.
He had the US govt sent them letters demanding their tax returns. What does that have to do with their lawful investigations of him? He’s projecting!!!
HE KNOWS that his tax returns would incriminate him.
