20+/- years, a question: How did the billionaires take control of the US? I found an Authoritarian Plutocracy was in our future. Well, it is here, now. We are late in starting the fight for democracy. Start we must. Be driven, bold, unbroken, undeterred.

Unity? We're a fragmented country with 20+/- tribes that spend just about all their available time, money, brain power, and spirit protecting and advancing their tribe's interest. Are they willing to unite for a America's democracy?
And, there is the wealthy controlling everything and the tribes.

They are responsible for keeping most of America poor, divided, disillusioned with democracy. Their desire has been to see the agencies and departments that were a positive contribution to life destroyed.
Inequality? A Rand Corp study: they have stolen $51 trillion from us.
Billionaires and Trump.

Children are joining or maybe being enlisted by their parents in neo-Nazi "active clubs" in 27 states. Modeled after the Hitler Youth, brainwashed with neo-Nazi and fascist ideologies. The Guardian

Men are not interested in either. Not because they are women. They ignored men. Men went for Trump. Both needed men. (A majority of white women again voted republican in 2024.)
HRC? KH? Major issues besides men.
A k. table, male tolerant female democrat should have buried Trump - 2016 and 2024.

Obviously, Trump will not allow another impeachment.
It's his war on America, democracy and unwealthy Bottom 90%. Many may die or disappear.
Remember the Covid 450,000? (Forbes)
There is only one concept that can save us from this dictator… and it isn't street protests or 2026 elections.

The first time I saw the photo on the right spontaneously "Housewives of Atlanta" ad occurred to me.
Having seen many NASA launches, the crews looked like explorers and scientists. Not this group.
(Those shows? Never.)

Since that is our money, we want a fair and reasonable percentage of the profits (defined by us).

2011, Palantir's morals and ethics: Team Themis comprised of Palantir, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Hunton & Williams, HB Gary Federal, and Berico Technologies. This team developed plots for C of C. Use? To fraudulently discredit opponents using technology.
Forced to abort and rightfully shamed.

The Constitution is the foundation of America's Rule of Law. Trump has installed an illegitimate regime that has violated the Constitution many times and in many ways.
Someone needs to sue Trump for breach of trust, violation of his Oath of Office and violating the Constitution.

If we do not find a way to seriously hurt their mission enough to disrupt it, the coup will be over in less than a month. Protests and court challenges have become impressive but limited because they have no teeth.
Think Greenpeace interventions that are powerful, very attractive and magnetic.

Insensitive women are blind and deaf to their role in sending males to Trump and the far right. You have been doing it for decades. The scheme to dump Biden and give Harris the Oval Office backfired — on us.
You helped Trump. (I voted for Harris; a vote against Trump.)
LPJ's wealth is 'man' made.

Well said! The majority of Americans agree and will support Canada.
As a young serviceman, first time away from home and stationed near Canada, I ventured across the border and met some young Canadians. Over 18 months they showed amazing kindness I had not experienced before. Unforgettable.

Johnson, if you were a man and stood up to denounce Trump and his administration for destroying America's democracy and we must fight to save the Constitution and nation, I wouldn't need to say: You are ethically and morally corrupt, absent a conscience, shameless, and despicable. Hell awaits you.

Wrong about the voters. Harris handlers and she did not want men to vote democrat. The first female president was to be won on a majority of women voters. That dream was too attractive. A policy of lower grocery costs plus 2.5 m or 3 m male and female votes might have won the popular and EC votes.

That cutoff may impact 25% of Dems incoming funding. Much funding is from the wealthiest Americans and CEOs — you know, conservatives that birthed the coup, paid for Project 2025, and stole $51 trillion from workers. Conveyors deliver our cash to them and Trump was to fix it. He lied to 77m.

An approach to begin turning this country around is to primary every republican, the 100 dems that are members of the New Democrat Coalition (literally support half of republican policies and half dem policies) and the dems taking money from and supporting the wealthiest conservatives. Payback time.

David Koch's Libertarian Party platform for the 1980 election is the master plan of what Trump started as #45 and MuskTrump are doing currently, but without execution details.
That platform is available online.

There is more truth in that than most Americans know. Most important, uber wealth is totally incompatible with democracy. It is one or the other but not both. The wealthiest have been working since 1970 to end democracy. As of 1/20/25, they have succeeded with an authoritarian plutocracy.

41.4% of eligible voters did not vote (2024). Votes cast by eligible voters: Trump 29.2%, Harris 28.3% and misc. 1.1%.
