What can a foreigner say, who could see all this coming from the moment your idiot system first voted for the world's biggest evil CONMAN? When the post Reagan southern Colonels who rule your Reps first began to turn their backs on the fragile agreed traditional niceties that sustain Democracy?
Trump is their Creature, loosed on you by the cancer that rots your culture top down, from the obscene greed that drives Wall Street to the end days nuttery of Christian fundamentalism to the mindless Materialism that sops your class system in apathy.
Now you face the horror of the end, of decency, of law, of your Empire. You have welcomed the monsters that the Chinese could only have dreamt of for you, and that the revengeful Russians had quietly nurtured.
As I read history, fascist dictatorship is only EVER removed by the overwhelming violence of military invasion or by civil war. So start organising your committed heroes and well armed underground cadres NOW.
While I agree with ALL of this, I feel you are only writing to the upper class, which is a waste of time!! I feel most people are middle class or lower. You need to speak clearly and concisely!! Most people, while interested, will NOT read long posts! Even less will comment! Sadly, Geoffrey Deihi is correct, we must risk our freedom and our lives, or this will NOT STOP!!! There has been an excellent series on Substack, probably for at least a month, and even the people on here, talk or ask questions like they've never heard of it, even below the series in the comments!!!

Biden realized too late that the S. court had been corrupted! Everything he tried to do to reign in the court was met with scholars and judges defending the S Court!!! The men and Amy are all traitors; they have been since B4 roeVwade!!! Runt, loudly, proudly and often, told how he put those men on the court so they would do what he wanted!! These men are not GODS, they are not above the law either, why do we let them get away with this corruption?? Will we sit by as they arrest ANY judge that runt doesn’t “like”??!! Why do we just do nothing as he and his fellow Traitors, just say NO to the courts!!! They made an “opinion” that runt has immunity, we don’t have to accept that opinion!!! They told roeVwade protestors to go home, they could change the decision in the states, how is that working??!! Women are still dying!!! runt is NOT our ‘REAL” president!! We have all known from day one! WHAT are we going to do?? Read all the posts in this series of articles about HOW the election was stolen!!! WE have waited too long, the world believes WE ALL support runt because he tells them so! This series has been here for everyone to read, every Dem. always knew it was true, the election was stolen, and here is how they did it! >>>>> (10) Archive - This Will Hold<<<<Read how it happened, share, call your Dem leaders, send them the link!! I’ve already done it, to many, they are afraid to hear the truth!! They don’t know what to do with the truth!! TELL them!!! Send it to the places listed in part VI, send it to the protesters!!! We are fighting more than runt!! Every Dem. always knew it was true, the election was stolen, and here is how they did it! Read how it happened, share, call your Dem leaders! They don’t know what to do with the truth!! TELL them!!! Send it to the places listed in part VI, send it to the protesters!!! We are fighting more than runt!! “THEY” said this would be a “bloodless Revolution, as long as we all stood back and let them do what they want”!
The letter was written, to the point, cordial, candid. Something to the effect of conscience demands adherence to ethics, principles, scruples which, usually garnered thru life experiences, equals content of character, which is all you have left on your deathbed. Not sure it will get published. Might be too much for the local newspaper, but then again, maybe it will. 🫣😉
Every day I ask myself why the democrats aren't saying everything you did in this piece and every day I get closer to fully acknowledging that I already know the answer, it's just really painful to accept.
I have been trying to get the Dem leaders for over a YEAR to get the point, they refuse, every question I asked, they said He couldn't do this, OR that, HE HAS< AND STILL IS!! Anything I said they told me they could do nothing! People I admired, people I trusted, ALL failed me and our country!! I believe it was me who gave D.D. and C.S. at least partly, the idea for the No Kings Act! I wrote them both, months ago!! That the S. Court was not full of GODS, and our constitution does NOT support Kings!! Dems refuse to believe the S. Court has been compromised since B4 roeVwade!!!! The more we gave up on protests, the stronger the court believed they were!! They were right, NO ONE has done anything to them because WE wouldn't want to do anything that might even look like we were not following the constitution! We don't want to make people mad at us, so they vote with the Traitors, because DEMS are passive, we want to compromise, we want to get along!!! WE MUST FIGHT BACK. we cannot wait to ask congress for what WE NEED TO DO!!! THEY ARE A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM!! Clearly NO ONE "ELSE" cares about our constitution, will "HE" rewrite it before we take action?? "HE" is already rewriting history, and just plain deleting it!!! Look at the WH website!!! OK, TOO LONG< BREAKING MY OWN RULES!!
I am so sick of people saying, "don't worry about it until it actually happens". Really, what? Until he steals the election? Until he deports people who are legally here!? Until he starts taking our rights away? Until he uses the military against us??! Until they shoot us with rubber bullets, until they use tear gas on us and our children??!! Until they take away every benefit we need to survive and have already paid for!!?? CHECK< CHECK< CHECK, repeat every day until unwanted people are all DEAD!! You know, seniors, the disabled, veterans, who some, are ALL three!!
Here's a random factoid there unrelated to anything and means nothing: No movement against power, including the ones often thought of as "nonviolent," has ever succeeded without the use of threat of actual violence. It has never happened. Dogmatic nonviolence protects the state.

Getting people up to speed for organized resistance would be the job at hand. Get humanity fired up and it will want to resist. Educating and inspiring is what needs to be going on. That’s what I rabble rouse for. Pep talks for how great humanity can be, and calls to humanity’s soul, that’s anchored in goodness, would be good to flood the Net with.
I have little to disagree with here. Short of being willing to risk our freedom and lives, this horrifying descent into fascism will not be stopped. We live in a world where speaking out against televised genocide is becoming a crime. The cancerous tentacles of fascism are reaching deep into our lives, and the military industrial complex has never been more powerful. Peter Thiel's Palantir has $1.9 billion in government contracts and has been empowered to assemble AI powered dossiers on every American. I wrote about it here:
And all of this is going on as climate change goes past the point of recovery. The tech billionaires believe they will ride it out, and the Christian fundamentalists want the rapture as soon as possible. The insanity would be unbelievable to me, except I have been studying it most of my life.
The “rapture.” Possibly the silliest thing to come out of the church since “don’t eat meat on Friday.” How many xtians went to imaginary hell cuz of that Friday hamberdler? Shouldn’t McDonalds be held accountable?
I tend to think Tammy Faye Bakker's shoe collection was the silliest thing to come out of the church. Or perhaps her clown makeup. Warning, this response may contain sarcasm.
Yes. Fascism, Christianity style, has arrived. So has the American Holocaust. (Slow start, but building) impeachment isn't the answer.
However, what you omit, as you keep omitting, is the fact that the November 2024 election was rigged and manipulated in Trump's favor. He didn't actually win. The country didn't choose this.
While the HF and others have been working towards the current situation for decades, they haven't won yet.
A lot of people are aware of what happened with the election and are getting the word out. A lot more people realize what happened now than last November. A lot more people believe it.
We also have a lot more people impacted directly who realize this isn't a good direction.
Now, this is an unprecedented situation in this country's history.
With the information and data being provided by Election Truth Alliance, SMART Elections, This Will Hold, Dissent in Bloom, and others, including an international elections expert, there's more than enough to remove this illegitimate regime. How that happens, and how fast, I'm not sure, but I expect we don't have too long to find out.
There may well be another investigation behind the scenes we don't know about as well. Just speculation on that.
Once this entire illegitimate regime, including Vance, is gone, those fascist forces won't give up, but it will be a major setback for them.
We'll still have a lot of work to do, including securing voting systems and trying to get this country out of third world status, not to mention rebuilding relationships with allies and the world.
You state you're not being pessimistic. I disagree. If you were being simply realistic, you would include information about the stolen election and the work being done to address that. That would paint a more complete picture.
Your thoughts aren't off base as far as they go, but they are definitely incomplete. At least from my POV.
While the parallels between America today and Germany in the 1930s and 40s are all too many and real, we can still self correct and avoid the worst. With little or no bloodshed.
Anyway, now that I've rambled on for too long, I'll wish you a good night. 🙂
If others feel as I do, that election fraud occurred, why oh why would the complacent Democrats not insist on a recount? It’s fundamental. Because they did not contest the vote, there is little consensus regarding election malfeasance. But, the Dems are the good guys, right?
The thought of that evil little bastard Mike Johnson getting anywhere near the Presidency makes me sick to my stomach!
Thank you for putting all the pieces in order. I somehow instinctively knew all this to be the case but I couldn't quite put it all together. We owe so much to Mitch McConnell! Ive daydreamed about paying him back! One thing that makes me feel a bit better is that Vance doesn't sell well. He has the look of evil about him and he's salivating so heavily for the Presidency he trips up and shows his hand. Yes we are definitely already in deep shit but I haven't given up on the American people. We've been underestimated many times. I pray this is another time we will rise.
So how do we get to organized resistance? I call my reps and show up to most protests waving creative signs. I’m not trying to be performative and not sure how to get to productive collective resistance. How do we get there?
"…The only thing that stops organized fascism is organized resistance. Everything else is just wishful thinking wrapped in patriotic and hopeful rhetoric.…"
The succinate truth of the current moment.
From personal experience, I know this much - suffering is the ultimate teacher. Been there, lived to tell the tale (ex Yugoslavia). Yes - different circumstances, different causes. But end result - if not the same, highly comparable. And from that standpoint, I'm compelled to say - the US will suffer far more than anyone is prepared to contemplate before people wake up. And when people wake up, will there be anything left worth saving? That is THE question…
I wish I could support you. Your essays are to the point and IMO accurate. A Taliban or ISSIS caliphate cannot be what this country wants. Our Democracy is on life support and the Constitution is meaningless. The Rule of Law? LOL.
What can a foreigner say, who could see all this coming from the moment your idiot system first voted for the world's biggest evil CONMAN? When the post Reagan southern Colonels who rule your Reps first began to turn their backs on the fragile agreed traditional niceties that sustain Democracy?
Trump is their Creature, loosed on you by the cancer that rots your culture top down, from the obscene greed that drives Wall Street to the end days nuttery of Christian fundamentalism to the mindless Materialism that sops your class system in apathy.
Now you face the horror of the end, of decency, of law, of your Empire. You have welcomed the monsters that the Chinese could only have dreamt of for you, and that the revengeful Russians had quietly nurtured.
