Barbara, i find it hard to believe that a demented 79 year old geriatric man with failing memory, lacking train of thought is somehow the all powerful autocrat.

Trump is evil undoubtedly but he is an impotent man. The real power lies with American oligarchy who put him into White house. The billionaires which financed him, gave him media & social media bullhorn. The billionaires whose media truthwash and sanewash him everyday to make him presentable to American public. These oligarchs are the real controllers of power. Trump is a prop.

Don’t forget the brain trust that is running the Project 2025 operation.

Yes. Also these think tanks like Heritage foundation are creations of Oligarchs. They create toxic and destructive policies which are given to politicians to implement and enforce.

Thank you very much, Barbara. A very good start to your series of posts. I’m looking forward to the next ones. They are extremely important. We Germans view the developments in the U.S. with great concern. All the more reason your posts should be widely read!

Obeying any man is your first mistake.

Regardless of what idiot du jour is cheered into power by the blind, consumerized, commodified masses:

Simply disobey them.

If secret police then come for you

Kill them.

Its not rocket science.

i dont -want- democracy. i dgaf about "democracy".

As long as my needs are met.

And everyone elses'.

The morasse of public opinion is neither wise nor virtuous.

What it -is-: is the result of the lowest common denominator emerging into power.

AND: the "information space" is irrelevant if you ignore the ranting of media, politicians, citizens, or whatever else.

Dont want bullshit? Ignore it.

If you cant think for yourself, and employ critical analysis...you oughhta gtfo the gene pool.
