Both the destruction of American representative democracy and establishment of a totalitarian state is now fully underway.  You will know that if you pay any amount of attention to what is going on, unless of course you only get your news from X, Truth Social, Fox, Newsmax, OAN, etc., which report only what Draco II wants the public to hear:  standard dictator playbook stuff.

Only the American people can stop America from falling into dictatorship:  Congress could but won’t, being MAGA-based and fearful of Draco II; the courts could but aren’t, the majority of SCOTUS – the court of last resort – being fully in Draco II’s pocket.  The takeover was forecast by democracy advocates to get worse, and the forecast is coming to pass.

The issue is not with Draco II, or the White Christian Nationalists, or the Project 2025 folks, it is the American public who have bought into the brainwashing and propaganda spewed forth by these folks, and who are not paying attention to what is going on, just believing the lies.  If those Americans who favor Draco II, who voted for him, think that they will not be caught up in his planned mayhem, they are wrong.  Kings and dictators don’t give a hoot about anyone who cannot further cement their power, and so, unless you pledge your wealth and soul to Draco II’s cause, you will feel the pain of his plan, suffering like the rest who oppose dictatorship.  Big Brother is coming unless stopped by the American people.

Draco II refused to mobilize the National Guard on January 6, 2021 when the capital building in Washington was under siege by criminals (who have now been pardoned by Draco II), yet now, Draco II has mobilized them to take over the District of Columbia police department, using staff from the FBI, Drug Enforcement, ATF, the Secret Service, and the U.S. Marshal’s service to aid in the effort under the lie that Washington DC is a hotbed of crime.  It is a pretext for establishing martial law.  According to the Department of Justice’s own crime statistics, which Draco II conveniently says are fake to use as justification for the takeover, crime in Washington DC was at a 30-year low, significantly down in 2024 as compared to 2023.  But, to the Liar-in-Chief, the Felon-in-Chief, the wannabe King and dictator that is Draco II, the truth does not matter if it differs from what he wants.

The famous “Crying Indian” PSA of 1971 states that “People start pollution.  People can stop it”.  Well, as we know, the trashing and pollution continues, but the saying is apropos to saving American democracy.  What will it be:  “the people can stop it”, or “you can’t handle the truth”?  We only get this one chance to save democracy, we cannot fail:  stop Draco II’s destruction and takeover of American democracy.  If not for yourself, then for your children and grandchildren:  oppose dictatorship, remember Epstein, believe in laws over lies.
