Turkey was not always an autocracy. It had a democracy. It still has elections. But its real democracy has gone away through shock and awe. It can happen everywhere if you're not vigilant and have shared agreement in the democratic project. One day it's just....gone.

"If Hochul waits until March 26th to remove Adams, that would save the city from having to roll the dice on a special election. Instead the Deputy Mayor would simply finish Adams’ term, and then the voters could have their choice of a replacement in November." www.palmerreport.com/analysis/kat...

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
