Two veteran U.S. legislators warn that we are in the middle of a "rolling coup."

"this is not the seizure of power on a single day but the methodical construction of an apparatus designed to identify, arrest, prosecute, and if necessary forcibly suppress Americans whose only offense is opposition to this administration"

We Are in the Middle of a “Rolling Coup”

Unless we begin to act, our democracy will likely be destroyed.

@aram it's not like they told everyone that up front or anything (project 2025 etc)
@aram "...you won't have to vote again..."

@aram

I wonder if the person who wrote this article can help me solve a missing person's case.

Their last name is "Shitsherlock", first name "No".

@aram
Representative democracy in theory is a great thing. However, it can be derailed by a great many things, including misinformed or uninformed voters, corruption, poor leadership, poor planning, conflicting goals, structural conflicts and excessive expectations. Any democracy can be hijacked if enough voters are fearful, angry or hateful.
@aram what do you/they mean by "unless we begin to act"?

@aram The people who think fighting against this "rolling coup" without resorting to violence have never paid attention to history...anywhere during any time.

Trump et al aren't going to walk away because people protest in the streets carrying "fuck you" signs. They aren't going to leave because a bunch of people decide to hold a pre-planned pre-announced "strike" or a targeted boycott.

We have 4 maybe 4 1/2 months left to take definitive action. If he want's war, he should get it.
