Was it all in vain?
Seems ironic that on this Veterans Day, when I think of my two fathers (biological & adopted) who both served actively in WWII in the South Pacific, that i’m asking myself, was it all in vain?
Those many years ago, the country, somewhat reluctantly, fought to soundly defeat a fascist Nazi takeover in Europe. Perhaps had we not entered that war, the takeover would have succeeded and eventually bled into the U.S. where the seeds had already been planted.
Now, almost 80 years later, the American electorate, willingly elected, in a free & fair election (nonviolent war), a fascist Nazi to lead these United States and have given him unprecedented control over every branch of government.
That war, those many years ago, which we won with massive blood and treasure investment, bought us 80 years of democracy without the disruption of fascist involvement in our U.S. government.
Had we not entered that war so long ago, and faced the possible fascist takeover at that time, we would have had these 80 years to figure out how to respond and regain our democratic roots.
Now we must begin anew…

Constitutionally-Authorized Dictator
I refer to the referenced article, "Trump's new world order," below, and would retitle it, "The Most Powerful Man In The World." Imagine control of the Executive Office, the Senate, the House (either outright or by bribes or bullying), the U.S. Military, the Supreme Court, topped with total Immunity from laws. With icing included like unlimited funding via the government and/or personal or indirect through the likes of Elon Musk (the richest man in the world) and inroads to the control of major media & information distribution sources e.g. Fox News, "X", and threats to major media outlets that may disagree. And, the entire government (all agencies) headed and leadership-staffed by loyal followers.
No imagining.... IT'S ALL REAL!!! He is truly a Constitutionally-authorized Dictator, a new form of democracy in America. Not just on "day one," but 4-years for sure (maybe more). Yes, we still have elections and an opposition party, BUT, would you want to run for office or participate in this system as an opposition player? Yes, we still have free speech & a somewhat free press, BUT, would you want to take on this power structure?
Constitutionally Authorized Dictatorship with the backing of the popular vote is where we are. . . What he does with his new found power I have no idea, but basically it's whatever he wants...
I would refer readers to the AXIOS, November 7, 2024 publication, entitled, "Trump's new world order"
Axios AM special edition: Washington's new world order, by Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen.
