So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

“Earlier this month, a federal judge appointed by President Trump in 2019, did the worst thing you can do to Trump in a court of law,” our columnist David French writes. “She took him seriously.”

It’s no longer a question of- how bad it will get.

It’s time time to accept- how bad it has become.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Great article. But I would argue that we are already living under authoritarian rule, not just on the precipice.
We are losing the last of the generation who understand just how evil actual fascism is, how hard it is to rid the world of authoritarian governments once they’re established, and how hard it is to build a successful alternative. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/what-we-lo...

It's no coincidence that democracy is backsliding in the US exactly eighty years after the end of World War II.
