I know... to hear me talk, it sounds like I might not know the difference between right and left. Yes, I do know the policies are different and purportedly the right is for people over government and the left is for government over people; But, when other things start getting factored in, like greed and corruption and egos and ambition and all the rest, it turns out for the average citizen to not make much of a difference. Whatever labels you want to hand out, fascist, communist, socialist, nationalist, nothing is ultimately geared for the little guy. What difference does it make if you call it authoritarian or totalitarian, government or regime, autocrat or dictator? Is the "average Joe" any better off in Sudan or Iran or China or Russia or Cuba or North Korea or Venezuela? Oh, I know. We have hunger and poverty and civil unrest galore right here at home but, who has a better chance at changing conditions like that? We're backsliding though, as a democracy. And once you've lost it, it ain't easy trying to get it back. Like the proverbial cat in the bag or the worms in a can... put that toothpaste back in the tube, ya know what I mean Vern?
So many Americans these days are enamored of Putin's Russia. That's funny. The conservatives that hate socialism so badly and have always considered communism the arch enemy of the free world (Remember McCarthy?) are now in love with communist Russia? That's a little beside the point. My main point is that people have been dissatisfied under right wing dictators and end up no better off after a revolution by left wing socialists. It doesn't matter what flag they're waving if any peoples' government is led by corrupt, greedy, narcissistic thugs. They get more power and riches and their friends and business associates get more power and riches and the little guy gets the trickle-down treatment. If you remember, the "trickle-down theory" of Ronald Reagan's administration created the largest gap between the haves and have-nots our country has ever seen. Ronnie is the patron saint of American conservatism. So, let's win one for the zipper 'cause the little guy's always gonna get trickled on... ALWAYS! But it's never raining cash! Democracy is the ONLY way we can try to limit how wet we get.

Thanks to the defeat of so many Secretary of State election deniers on 11/8/22 we will still be able to have faith that our votes will count. Everyone's vote. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens, Grays and Reptilians. For now anyway.
The unrelenting attacks on democracy are paying tangible dividends for the fascists. The continual undermining of confidence in our political system and voting procedures coupled with Draconian voter suppression laws, gerrymandering, and installation of anti-democratic bureaucrats in state and local positions of authority have all but certified a Trumpublican victory in the 2022 mid-term elections as well as the 2024 presidential election.
Even if Trump were to lose an election again in 2024, the aforementioned steps will insure that recounts, recalls and audits will ensue until such time as a positive result can be announced for the former president.
Once again in office, Trump will immediately have any and all naysayers, resisters and adversaries removed and replaced with flunkies, stooges and cultists that will bend to his will. Revenge and retribution will be the order of the day. Liberal media outlets will be lucky to survive if even in the least bit tolerated. Voting laws will once again be revised. Term limits likely removed. Chains of authority redefined. There will not be a gradual changing of the guard. It will be ongoing and apparent.
All the events occurring since before the 2016 election till now will have paved the way for the incontestable, absolute power of our new fuhrer. His temperament, his behavior, his modus operandi have all been well documented over the past several decades. He is a known liar, a cheat, a thief, a bully, and a traitor and he will be the leader of this once great country until his death or his unlikely abdication and passage of power to his most favored progeny at that time.
