We used to ask ourselves, how could the culturally elevated and highly educated Germans let Hitler come to power. Now we know the answer: it was easy, when weak minded men, when self obsessed men, when delusional men without shame surrendered their morals to the rabid dogs (sorry pups) of hate. We owe the Germans of the 1930s an apology. We thought we were better than them, that our founding fathers had insulated us from such spiritual rot. We were dead wrong and now we must endure the horrible price of the hell we have unleashed.

“This is the hardest part about today: realizing that our fellow Americans saw all of that; watched all of that; listened to all of that, and still said, “Yes, that’s what we want.” That’s who we are.”

Do they though? We’ve had right-wing billionaires buying MSM outlets for the last four years: Baltimore Sun, Univision, and even the NYT’s is 30% owned by Black Rock and Vanguard; two of Trump’s biggest supporters. X and Truth Social are propaganda machines, and even Meta collapsed faster than a cheap lounge chair, when faced with lawsuits about free speech. So misinformation and disinformation campaigns have been running rampant for the last four years.

We also know TikTok is another algorithm based brainwashing machine, and the rest of the MSM is either in Trump’s camp, or just a bunch of spineless corporate media cowards.

So maybe there’s more to this, because I even heard pro-choice independents blaming the reversal of Roe on democrats, since SCOTUS overturned it during the Biden administration. HUH????

How much you want to bet food and gas prices miraculously fall as soon as Trump is inaugurated. Israel will agree to a cease fire, yet it will be short-lived, as Netanyahu starts mass expulsions of Palestinians from both occupied territories within a year.

As for Ukraine? They will be forced to take a bad deal, and Russia will continually chip away at its independence, the same way they installed puppets in Belarus, Chechnya and Georgia. Then the Baltics are next, as we’ll see a rise of white nationalist parties sweeping across Europe and taking the reins of power. Make my words, in four years we will be Hungary, and so will most of Eastern Europe. Furthermore, Taiwan is toast! Trump will betray them faster than he betray Ukraine, Afghanistan and the Kurds in Syria.

And if the ladies are expecting the state constitutional mandates for abortion to hold; think again. The abortion pills will be outlawed (interstate) using the Comstock Act, and it’s only a matter of time before there is a national abortion ban, and they come for contraceptives.

And whether democrats ever hold the Whitehouse house again is immaterial, since we will now have a religious, fascist court for the next forty years. As for the house, extreme gerrymandering will reduce Democratic control exponentially.

Congratulations America, you just wrote your own obituary, and you don’t even know it.
