If we don't wake up now, we will never re-awake. The oligarchs are already running our country. We can NOT count on the next election, because they have dismantled enough of the government infrastructure (per Bannon's writings) and with the help of the Russian oligarchs, to simply cancel the next elections.
It's called declaring a national emergency. Guess what? Trump has already been slapping tariffs on the world due to said non-existent national emergency for months. The ridiculous nature of the tariffs belie the fact that they are singularly important as a president’s precedent. It’s the National Emergency that has been glossed over and ACCEPTED by all of us.
Who will be able to claim there is no emergency when it has already been accepted and normalized, again per Bannon. By election day, we will have been living in a state of an unopposed phony emergency declared by Trump for the last six months. Additionally we will have a Supreme court that will follow its newest member in the belief that the President can not be subject to investigation of any sort while in his, now, “office for life.”
As Trump said (deliberately to give birth to the normalization meme) about President for Life Xi Jinping, "Maybe we should try that". This was NOT AN IDLE COMMENT. To cite justification for this CANCEL ELECTIONS emergency, Trump will cite the fact that the election system has been compromised by foreign intervention. Who could argue?
For fans of horrifying irony, that may be the one time Trump was not lying.
In point of fact the US has a pile of National Emergencies in perpetuity see Lawfare : Emergencies without end. www.lawfareblog.com/…
There is simply nothing to stop this occurrence. And the more we keep citing the “blue wave”, as our saving move, the more irrelevant we have all become.
