He is the epitome of the oligarchs who believe that their wealth provides them with absolute moral authority. They are determined to crush our democracy and grind it under their boots. They view democracy as an absurd aberration that must be vanquished in order for the chosen to provide rule and order. They view the under educated as nothing more than tools that can be easily mislead and more easily to be minimized once they are firmly in control.

It is not an exaggeration that we are approaching to the point of open confrontation. The extreme so-called conservatives are being coming bolder under the Trump presidency and can be easily manipulated by their masters. If their they fear that their victory is in jeopardy it is not unreasonable to fear that their could be open armed conflict. The Republican hierarchy is making a mockery out of the rule of democratic principles. The head of the Senate under Republican control is effectively ruling as a dictator and has gone to the extent of actually opposing any control of interference of free elections. McConnell's actions have aided and abetted our arch enemies who have sworn to destroy our government. I consider this as unabridged treason. Benedict Arnold was hanged for a failed plot. What should be the reaction for successful onslaught on our guaranteed freedoms?

Unfortunately, this is far from being an aberration, but the determined policy that the Republican Party has been pursuing since Nixon, Reagan, both Bush administration and now Trump. Under the absurd interpretation of the Article Two they are claiming the president has absolute control of all the federal agencies in what the call the Unified Executive theory. Will people wake up in time of will the have slept through the loss of their freedoms?

You don't have to wake me up. I've realized the intentional destruction of our democracy for years now. Keep preaching it. People need to hear it and realize it.
