The German ambassador expects Trump's second presidency to largely undermine the system of democratic checks and balances in the United States.
The Trump agenda is to rob the legislative branch, law enforcement and media of their independence and be misused as a political arm.
I fear it's about 5 minutes from being 1969 Belfast, if things don't change.
Can we hold on until the 2026 mid-terms? Or will KOT & the 2025 gang with the help 21st cent Oligarchs, completely take over the federal government?
Is there enough opposition power to check KOT?
Batten Down the Hatches
Going along with a circular firing squad when every actual bit of data points to Trump winning the propaganda and disinfo battle.
No one except for interested Democrats even heard what Harris said. Musk and Putin made sure of that.
And us voters - we're crying out in the wilderness.

What are you going to do in Nazi Germany 2.0?
Sit back and think it will be any different?
America is no more.
Seems like media is deep into the process of giving it away free of charge. And inauguration day has’t even happened yet.
"Basic democratic principles & checks & balances will be largely undermined, the legislature, law enforcement & media will be robbed of their independence & misused as a political arm, Big Tech will be given co-governing power,"
We have been shouting it for many months.

I'll make a note & come back to it when he does.

“Trump has broad legal options to force his agenda on the states, saying "even military deployment within the country for police activities would be possible in the event of declared 'insurrection' & 'invasion'."
But it makes me feel hopeless
WTH are we gonna do
A #POTUS does NOT have the authority to overrule #SCOTUS in this manner
#trump will overreach on everything he disagrees with to overturn it
Never forgive the mother fuckers who did this to the rest of us.
Never forgive the media for being complicit.
Never forgive the media for being complicit is exactly right !
For covering up the last 4 years of an incompetent Dementia ridden President.
And the MF’rs that supported him in destroying the country for 4 years
As my knowledge of the past grew through my formative years I often asked myself, "Why didn't they do anything?"
And here I am having lived through a dozen once in a lifetime events on shuffle since 2001.
Real life, politics, and history are stories told in the same setting, but never with the same perspective.
Yeah. This sucks. Out Loud.
But we dug this hole. And now it's time to climb out of it.
Let's do the work.
#Resist
free card. He’s gonna use it no holds barred. He probably thinks he’s anointed by god knows who and he’ll act like it. It’s gonna get scary

People that worship the past, think they can do it better WILL repeat it!
Donold Dump thinks he can pull off a better #TurdReich, and he's looking like he really can do it. He's got the oligarchs already. BTW: Germany fell in 53 days! 3/14/25!
And 'the obstructors got first-class train travel and government subsidized meals'. They 'let us do it'. So are the MAGA in congress and state legislatures. #TryingNotToLoseIt
Right?
In fact if u look @ how DEU was taken over by Hitler u'll c strong parallels to what Trump is doing.
Four years of lies while billionaires feast,
The press bows down, the truth’s deceased.
Can justice rise, or will we see,
A broken land, no longer free?
They plan to destroy America in by asset stripping it to bones.
Lets make it all crumble to sand in their fingers.
Protest by doing NOTHING for just a week will decimate them. Why wait? They will not save you. They are coming FOR you.
He is a psychopath….
In every way possible!
Make no mistake here!
Educate ourselves.
Know your rights.
Do not obey in advance.
You can win a plurality & therefore the presidency with nothing but voters of bellow average education & intelligence…
An Idiocracy.
Americans, you actually sold your democracy for a little bit of extra (perhaps) in your way packet
Laws mean NOTHING when 34 felonies is just a new title for the heralds to read off as the king enters the room
Resistance is of most importance.
We’re sickened enough.
Standing w/you for the distance.
I never saw BlueSky staying the way it is now.
But I can see the Trump admin accelerating changes.

We hope some will stand fast against the coming MAGA onslaught.
It’s like watching a storm develop into a hurricane bearing down on the nation.
Holocaust survivors and historians have been ignored since 2015/16.
This ambassador will be ignored, too.
I hate catching errors too late
