It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.
The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.
In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

What would Trump do if he wanted the military to help him establish a dictatorship?
He’d order troops into U.S. cities.
He’d order strikes on foreign targets to show he could get the military to kill people without congressional OK.
He’d purge the military of top brass who might defend democracy.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.
That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
