YES, EVERYONE, SHARE THIS CONCLUSION WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW:

"It’s Happening Here and Now.

Trump has made clear that no institution is safe, no law is sacred, and no opponent will be spared. Whether it’s ICE agents inside courtrooms, DOJ investigations into political platforms or opponents, or extortion of law firms and attempted takeover of universities, the strategy is the same — consolidate power, silence dissent, and erase the guardrails of democracy.

So what do we do? We push back—with everything we’ve got.

We demand that Democrats in Congress stop playing defense and start using every tool they have. We challenge pundits and news outlets that normalize or both-sides Trump’s dangerous authoritarian tactics, and demand they stop framing his dismantling of democracy as mere partisan bickering. We support investigative journalism, fund opposition candidates at every level, and organize locally. We document everything and push back on every action.

And most importantly, we don’t wait for someone else to save us."

There is no longer time to feel shell shocked by the continuous onslaught of events. Bi-weekly nationwide protests have been encouraging, but this malignant regime’s offences are metastasizing on a daily schedule.

I keep having a mental picture of Kamala Harris sitting back in her easy chair with an ironic grin on her face, saying: “What did I tell you fuckers? You asked, ‘Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?’; I said ‘Yes,’ and the whole world exploded.”

I’ll just put this out here:

Kamala was right on all counts.

So basically he knows nothing, understands nothing and nothing is his fault, ever. It’s someone else’s fault. No news is bad news because if it’s on the news it’s good for him because it’s about him and all the things he is doing, whether those things are good or bad.

And if he thinks something has happened then it has.

He is a bloke in a room ….and he is the only one in the room.

Psychiatrist probably have a word to describe the condition. The rest of us call it insanity.

Observable insanity.

The solution:

The REPUBLICANS need to walk into the White House and do an intervention. NOW.

The Republicans.

It has been done many times, in many countries, through out the world, over the centuries.

We, the people, must take what belongs to us only: the power over this land and Constitution. We will need to take this to the streets as an effort focused solely on defenestration until the job is done. We have no other choice at this point. We either win or lose this battle. I move for enforcing equitable equality. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/equitable-equality?r=3m1bs

Trump lies, cheats & fights dirty - mafia style. He knew if he did not win the election, he had multiple lawsuits to contend with.

Watch "Was The Election Rigged?? ...We Bring Receipts! (PART 2) | Titus Podcast" on YouTube

It’s interesting how the steps the Trump administration has taken in its first few months are laid out in detail in studies of personalist dictatorships when Trump was just a failed real estate conman. This brilliant 2014 presentation by Dr. Natasha Ezrow on “How dictators fall” has only one thing missing. The exit.

Democrats better make sure that they are doing what they need to do to protect their own homes. There is an order out there saying that they can come into private homes without a warrant as well.
