The Collapse
The American dream has been co-opted by an aging gerontocracy that refuses to recognize that its days are numbered. The Trumphuk debacle in the Oval Office is the death rattle of the Repugnantcan / MAGA CABAL…
Trumphuk himself might make it to the 2026 elections … or not…
But, he is tarnished and tainted. His treachery and corruption are totally apparent and his lies have come back to haunt him:
— Tariffs are taxes and create inflation and hurt the consumer
— Prices are increasing and the economy is on the brink of a recession if not worse
— Crypto is a scam and will cause massive disruption of the economy while temporarily enriching a few con artists
— Kidnapping and assaulting immigrants and the opposition is not a show of strength but cowardly acts of depravity
— Using soldiers to quell peaceful protesters makes nobody safe… it endangers our democracy and flaunts the Constitution
— Refusing to provide affordable medical care and feed hungry people is not an appropriate “negotiating strategy”, it is wanton cruelty.
— The employment of American military to sink boats in international waters aren’t permissible acts of national security; they’re clear violation of international law.
—Abandoning a democracy that was assaulted by a virulent foreign power and the NATO alliance that has provided stability for decades is not “real politik”; it is shameful capitulation to a dictator who seeks destruction of democracy worldwide and pure aggrandizement for Russian imperialism
—Perpetuating policies of white supremacy and racism do not strengthen your political base, so much as undermine your political credibility. As the base crumbles these policies will as well
While the old guard is still grasping and gasping to maintain its ill-got power and riches—and there is a remnant of this vile and villainous cadre in the likes of Nosferatu Miller, Ka$h Patel, Jared-Ivanka-Donnie,Jr-Eric-the others that will try to recoup and try to claim the mantel — we are much more aware, activated, angered and will be vigilant in driving them and the billionaire nihilistic oligarchs who bankrolled them out of our politics.
As they crumble we see a fresh new generation of leaders supporting democracy arise to accelerate the end of this autocratic nightmare and restore our democracy based on the rule of law.
The momentum has shifted, but we must maintain and strengthen our resolve against the death throes of the Trumpian/Maga CABAL.
We have just begun.
God I hope you are right.
...right on, Richard! It's time to rally behind the progressive young leaders on the Left, those who aren't corporate-owned, who can reverse the decades-long slide of predatory capitalism that brought us here - to autocracy. If the old guard will move on and relinquish control, it can be achieved; but they don't seem to want to go quietly.
