The Beginning of the End of Our Democracy

Is this beginning of the end? I’m trying to think about all the ramifications of another Trump administration and all I think about this is the end of our great democratic experiment. That the forces of fascism have won. Project 2025 is a go. Trump will consolidate power and punish his enemies. We have some Tough times ahead. Time to think about joining the resistance.

will have to consider the threat they face.

I've thought about the brave Russian dissidents. I don't have it in me to face decades in jail for one act of protest.
But there will have to be some kind of resistance. Something more effective I hope than that, but I don't know what.
As soon as people start obeying Trump's illegal orders, all is lost.
