Here it is in a nutshell:

1. Trump is an authoritarian.
2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy.
3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2.
4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021.

Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

I hold a lot of disdain for the people who didn’t see this coming given P2025 but it does seem like the actual support for these goals is nonexistent, everyone who voted for him did so under the incredibly stupid assumption that he wouldn’t do this

If Trump were to seize Greenland, a NATO member, under the NATO charter, NATO would be compelled to defend. This would either pit America vs NATO or force NATO to back down and dissolve.

This is a Trump-Putin joint effort to destroy NATO together.
