He will burn down whatever he can, however he can

Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution.

Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding.

We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns.

Or perish.

They are going full oligarchy to the sound of silent consent. When fascism takes over, it is not with a bang but a gradual normalization of corruption, nepotism, and organized crime.

They'll slow boil democracy until nothing is left. The time to act is now, the time to protest is overdue.

Some will declare fealty publicly. Some privately.

Make no mistake, they will all protect their own interests before defending the country that made them rich.
