We are not a democracy.
We do not have 3 equal branches of government providing checks and balances.
We do not have free and fair elections.
Our citizenry is not engaged…not even informed. By design.
We are an oligarchy moving quickly toward a dictatorship.
People must act now

Its very hard to kill an idea, so yet we are still a democracy ...but it will take 4 years to have another Presidential election -an election is a non violent revolution - he must never obtain the status of Dictator or god help us if he does and this turns violent-

During his first term, he started dismantling. The guardrails, institutions, laws, norms, etc were tested, loosened, and weakened.
Ex. Collusion was in play between the 3 branches then, because of his tactics.

The oligarchs (we once called this special interests but it’s a smaller group who own our country and the world now) are completely in power…
So, no, we’re not the democracy we were and we’re not the financial and economic structure we once were.
We’re moving closer to feudalism economically. Laws and our institutions are an annoyance…
Proof? How much richer is Elon Musk since November? Since Jan 20th?
Eliminating procurement laws, regulations, procedures, norms, and just doing business like they own the place is faster and easier. ..
