"Totalitarian" is the word Eric Sevareid used to describe the Axis countries during WWII. It is the word I use now to describe the US.

SCOTUS conservative 'emergency' rulings are illegitimate.
Their names will live in infamy: Roberts, Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

This is true ONLY in cities, like Boston, that you can get around by walking, biking or public transportation; NOT Los Angeles, RTP area, Trenton-Princeton, San Diego, Dallas-Fort Worth etc.

"They Knew" is an understatement!

Michelle Cottle of the NYTimes said today that members of Congress have told her that they are fearful of personal harm, and harm to their families, should they cross Trump.
This is the highest level of extortion and gangsterism imaginable.

We cannot have a democracy if those without education resent education,
or with only the privately tutored or educated at the helm.
Only when we have an education system that equips the public with the knowledge required for leadership will we preserve democracy.

Without public education in America, as John Dewey pointed out, there will be no democracy.
Americans with low general intelligence MUST be eligible for special education so that they can participate in our democracy.
Americans who do not read regularly must develop this habit to participate. 1/2

I agree with your conclusion and came to it long before your article.
Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are les agents provocateur.
They rationalize their unconstitutional, amoral, and illegal rulings and behavior.
They have nailed shut the coffin of American democracy.
