If you ever wondered what it's like to live under fascism, as have I (being an amateur student of the history marking the beginning of 20th. century Europe), we in America no longer have to. This is not hyperbole- if the Commander-in-Chief gets his wish that the (Republican) federal government should directly control national elections (particularly in those states he does not control politically), there is no longer any debate or even the slightest lingering doubt that we no longer live in a "democratic republic." This will not be partisan control of an election, it will be outright, one man, autocratic control- one bona fide dictatorship... and he is beginning to orchestrate it in full view via Georgia! Gone are the days when anyone (incl myself) could fairly accurately decry that Dems & Repubs are two sides of the same coin- the feckless Dems have seemingly willed themselves off said coin.
The mask is off- except for those worn by our anonymous 'law enforcers.' Our First Amendment already lies mortally wounded, as we can now be placed on an official terrorist watchlist simply for watching/documenting said 'law enforcers' in action (funny how even the reliably, vociferous multitudes of 2nd Amendment activists who helped empower this now blatantly obvious dictator were completely silent for the first time in memory when one of their armed believers was recently shot down in cold blood by said agents). Does anyone still really think he will now only arrest (or kill) the Brown people he detests?
Unless stopped, Trump will control national elections- a complete violation of and direct attack on the US Constitution (the very institution so many of his supporters claim to hold so dear- without even a passing familiarity with its most basic tenets). Some of his supporters may not like the term "dictator," but that is who they actively serve- and the rest of us must defy!
