Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.

I also won’t be gaslit into believing a foul hate-monger was simply a regular guy with different views.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

THEY HAVE DEPORTED A TWO YEAR OLD CHILD BIRTHRIGHT CITIZEN
This is why I have no patience anymore for people playing games with this stuff.

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

I hope you are correct. I personally know quite a few people still on board with the orange.
This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA.
No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful.
Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

Please stay in line to vote. It's your right.
Election officials in Milwaukee, Wisconsin are reporting ballot shortages due to “unprecedented high turnout.”
They urge voters to stay in line if they get there before 8:00 to cast their ballots.

Isn't DOGE closing SSA offices?
Another ominous development: The Social Security Administration is no longer allowing parents in Maine to register newborns for SSNs at hospital after birth, is instead requiring them to visit a Social Security Office to register their children.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns
The change — immediately criticized by pediatric health advocates — eliminates a program that allowed parents to fill out a form at the hospital to secure a Social Security number for their children.
