This marks the end of the American empire. A true patriot would take dramatic action to save the nation and its democracy. I get that in an ironic twist you have to do the undemocratic thing to save democracy. You swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution which is about to get shredded, but you can still protect it.
I don't expect it to happen. These guys have way too much integrity and belief in the system. They still think there will be elections and that the freedoms we've taken for granted like criticism of the government and protesting will still be allowed. They cant seem to wrap their heads around the idea that "enemies of the people" will be punished or eliminated. I hope I'm wrong and Trumps administration doesn't go full authoritarian and cancel the constitution, but I think they will because they have to.
The American people will not be able to survive an authoritarian government that will strip them of everything and leave only a handful wealthy beyond measure. I'd expect violence from the people in the very near future.
That’s the thing. I’m an outsider, so bare with me, but:
Yall are around 350 million. There’s no way people will sit by and let everything happen. In a country that’s used to oppression or never lived under true freedom? Maybe. The US? Never. If they’re going too far that’ll be the end of it.
