The Terrible, Anti-Democratic, Corrupt Conservative Majority of the Supreme Court Steps Up (Again) For King Trump It should be clear by now that the Supreme Court is a thoroughly compromised institution that serves purely to help Trump & Republicans create an authoritarian regime for conservative Christians.

Left it and so glad to be rid of the bombardment of right wing lies, fake news, conspiracies, hatred etc - and also no means to reply. Twitter originally was a forum of ideas and opinions but as X became a right wing propaganda forum.

Governor Pritzker also said Wednesday he believes Trump is normalizing the use of the military ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, when Pritzker believes Trump may have soldiers stationed outside polling places to β€œassume control of the ballot boxes and count the votes himself.”

Scary how easily many in National Guard have slotted easily into the authoritarianism way of life at the expense of democracy - so violating human rights and ignoring court orders, intimidation, violence and pulling people of the street like a modern day Gestapo is not a problem for them

Fans insulting players is not β€˜the way forward’ at the Ryder Cup, says victorious Europe player Tyrrell Hatton | CNN English golfer Tyrrell Hatton has underlined that insults are not β€œthe way forward” when it comes to fan behavior at the Ryder Cup, several days after his victory with Team Europe.

The behaviour of some USA supporters at the Ryder cup really epitomize the dreadful attitude and behaviour permeating across the USA with emerging authoritarian rule and a smug, unrealistic attitude of superiority. The USA looks anything but "Great" edition.cnn.com/2025/10/02/s...

Scary how quickly law enforcement officers who are supposed to work within the laws of a democracy quickly become tools of a dictatorship and see no problem with this. Shows there is a recruitment issue with these people

It was painful watching the UK gov/establishment groveling, appeasing and sucking up to a "wannebe" dictator in a desperate attempt to not anger him and keep on his good side - politics and leadership is now so pathetic that the fragile and finnicky temperament of the USA President is most important

Dictators use democracy to access power. Hitler did & what Trump doing now. Democratic people watch and let it happen because they believe in free speech. Once Dictators are in power they then remove these freedoms. HappeningΒ inΒ USΒ as democracy eroded and a Gilead style authoritarian state emerges

THE USA is becoming an authoritarian, Gilead like state in real time as democracy erodes - when people finally do wake up to reality it may be too late, as by then the "President for Life" Trump carries on the power grab and destruction of the USA.
