America is at the cusp of a nearly completed coup and enshrinement of a King/dictator/oligarchy form of government that our Constitution was written to avoid. DJT has been presiding over an alternative Federal Government since he was elected in 2015, much to his surprise. He has presided over the Congress through his manipulation of the MAGA movement and has been allowed to rule over his "alternative" Federal Government from his alternative WH since he grudgingly left office in 2021, as he was not held to account for his clear leadership of the Jan. 6, 2021 coup attempt to invade Congress and overthrow the result of the presidential election, which he lost by ALL accounts. The feckless Biden DOJ/FBI/AG allowed him to carryon presidential business as usual, including absconding with his presidential papers, and controlling Congress through threats of "primarying" all who opposed him, thus eliminating opposition from within the GOP. What caught the eye of this 80yo retired physician and Medicare patient is the $500B cut to an already anemic Medicare, likely to force the healthcare providers already penalized for providing service to us Medicare funded elderly patients and lifelong contributors to Medicare to stop providing care to ALL Medicare patients.. This is a dictator consolidating his authority over every aspect of the health and wellbeing of American citizens. Is this really the country we voted for in 2015/2020? Did we vote in a dictator? Are we getting what we voted for or deserve? Thanks to Sabrina and HCR telling us the truth in an ever more anemic MSM environment. We are NOT alone and may God help us!

"The ever-prescient Thom Hartmann recently distilled the dictators’ playbook into two steps: Aspirant dictators must first create an ‘enemy within.’ Check. Then, they encourage or exploit “big, splashy attacks on the country” to seize more power. If race riots start, this second box will be checked."

I literally could not agree more. I've been anticipating this since Trump's second invasion of the White House. There aren't many artificial carrots to be believed, and even real carrots only get you so far. Trump is hoping to bring out the very real sticks now. But he's dependent on people falling for his unveiled instigating, provoking and inciting. There's no way he allows a midterm election, and violence as a predictable reaction to his backing people into a corner is exactly the strategy he's had planned since forever. Why? Because people rightfully fucking hate him and his parasitic cult of bedunced nihilists.
