The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

The part where you were still "sliding" is long over.

But if he says that, no one will send money to his substack, and no one will put him on TV “to fight” whatever. It’s all a grift for then as the world burns.

Where have you been?
It’s a million times worse than that.
And we the people versus the billionaire bilkers.
Right-wing parties are always funded by the rich in order to tear down democratic institutions and establish dictatorships, and now they’ve won. It’s too late to prevent a dictatorship, now it’s about defeating one.
No other democracy allows that. If you survive I think we'll drop a billion or so and buy a few choice senate seats.
America has shown the world how rotten, weak, and incredibly stupid we are.
Freedom or Tyranny
Democracy or …
Dictatorship!!!
Tax Revolt!
Dictatorship 🚫 😫 🤢
It should not have been a "battle" between only 2 sides in the 1st place, because when monopoly power is concentrated into 1 or 2 entities, the system cannot easily recover a balance when 1 fails or goes rogue.
That's in addition to standard gridlock.
As such, they naturally avoid single points of control, because they're also single points of failure [SPOC/ #SPOF]. That means it only takes 1 error for the whole system to crash, 1 well placed attack or blackmail, etc.

Now what?
Do I take up arms against the rogue state?
Slogans are great, how bout what the fuck do we do?
Beginning of Denial and Self-Delusion
Which too many of Us are Doing About How Close Trump
Is To Installing Himself as a Totalitarian Dictator
"Nero fiddled while Rome burned"
because time is running out for us to take action to stop Trump’s Coup!
The test isn’t coming—it’s here!
The question isn’t who will stand—but who will kneel.
And with a thin smile, it fluffs the pillow, smooths the sheets, and whispers, ‘Rest now—I’ll take it from here."
Checkout my series, continuing all week..
Of the proletariat.
This state will leave the union and take the world's 5th largest economy with them.
When that happens, red states will find themselves in a world of economic devastation.

We must also very rapidly become accustomed to making personal sacrifices to push back against them.
We can't fuckin doomscroll and media post our way out of this.
We. Must. Act.
Every congressional Democrat needs to get their head fully in the game ASAP.
I have friends whose parents fled Hungary in the 50s to the US that still support trump regime.
Please, I just don't get it.
Revolution or not since the Palmer Raids then the Smith Act Trials as minority parties have been hampered destroyed, sabotaged crippled and suppressed the basis of which Trump controls
If you were sitting on the fence you were/are team Trump! There are zero surprises where the US finds itself today, ZERO!
This has been in the making for yearssss from far right Christian fundamentalists.
This is the Democratic party vs the Dictatorship/Billionaire party.
Now they are all leaving and jumping ship.
Now we need to regroup and get some Democrats in the House, Senate, and Congress.
November is election time once again, folks
Put a BIG WRETCH in Trump's future plans.
Left v. Right
Democracy v. Dictatorship
Democrat v. Republican
It's all the same in whichever category you sort it in.
Freedom needs defending...

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone.
Here’s a partial summary — 10 reasons for modest optimism.
We gotta do this locally, folks!
How else do you explain a total trash bag of a human like Trump being anointed as their savior?
NOW WHAT?
🎯Here's my message to them🎯
👇Send it to your Rep/Senator if you agree👇 #BeRelentless
I have seen virtually no fighting.
I have seen some defending,
I have seen what I'd describe being a wounded prey begging not to be dinner.

Gore Vidal called all US presidents after Kennedy "twilight presidents".
This has been coming for years, and Democrats did nothing about it. Au contraire. And now a madman is at the helm.
BOB
we KNOW which side we are on, we want ACTION
is a police state.
It's party vs party. Not even dictatorship vs democracy.
It's right vs wrong. Humanity or none. Preserving 🇺🇸 democracy is ideal however then you have to ask what was "democracy" before this crisis?
might we express the peril in a manner that people can connect with?
Today we are giving up our democracy because Americans are not willing to even PAY attention. The greatest pay-it-forward gift ever & we have rejected it
To most people, "dictator" sounds like "bogeyman."
The issue should not be what Trump will become, but what he already is. Trump wants to be a dictator, but he's already a crook. His self-dealing is there for everyone to see. Now.
