Republican Senators have kowtowed to Draco-II and confirmed all his federal agency nominations; the old GOP has drastically morphed into the “Draco-II Republican Party” (the DRP): the GOP is dead and buried.

With the confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General of the Department of Justice (DOJ), we see further stage of fascism’s American evolution: the rule of law is now ONLY what Draco-II wants. All DRP Senators who approved of (and all DRP House members who agreed to) what Draco-II wants and directs acquiesce to the juggernaut meant to imitate all voters to either vote for the DRP nominees, or stay home and not vote thereby assuring authoritarianism’s cementing of power here in a used-to-be democratic country: it has happened before many times around the world and there is no reason to believe America is exempt from that evil potential. A peaceful fight must be enjoined by all proponents of democracy to stop authoritarianism at all costs, because once made permanent, authoritarianism targets ALL opposition: its power becomes an edict to follow or suffer. No one will be safe – even those that are pro-dictator – as authority and religion will dictate how one lives. Many friends, family, and neighbors will be enslaved (physically and/or economically), some will be interned into concentration and/or re-education camps; some simply disappeared. THIS AIN’T AMERICA!!

Mistreatment of non-white immigrants – some of whom are U.S. citizens – by the Draco-II mob (as laid out in the book “Unhuman”, foreword by Steve Bannon; endorsed by J.D. Vance), is disgustingly Un-American and racist. Is this true meaning of America?

Even if Draco-II’s DRP receives a blistering defeat this November, DOJ’s Blanche will take every step possible to ensure Draco-II comes out on top. Draco-II will claim fraud, will threaten investigations and lawsuits, and Draco-II may even TRY to declare a national emergency/martial law to keep the Democrats from taking over control of the House and Senate, where he would be impeached FOR THE THIRD TIME! You ain’t seen nothing yet; DRP sycophants will follow every Draco-II dictate to keep him in power – violently if needed. The last stand for American democracy will be when the U.S. Military either decides to follow Draco-II down the path to dictatorship, or stands with the U.S. Constitution and the American people to uphold our representative republic.

God bless democracy. Fight authoritarianism, everywhere, with all your might.
