In case you’re wondering — here are the indexes and this is real. Every dead WWII solider just turned over in their grave.

- EIU Democracy Index
- Freedom House – Freedom in the World
-V-Dem
-BTI (Bertelsmann Transformation Index)
- Democracy Matrix
- Polity5
- IDEA – Global State of Democracy

Attention: The U.S. is no longer rated a “full democracy” by many indexes. It is often classified as a “flawed democracy” or “electoral democracy with deficits.”

A new poll shows 75% of Americans believe Trump has not focused enough on lowering prices. Trump responds to that by just lying about prices. Don’t believe your lying eyes or empty wallets - believe a serial liar making billions in the Middle East!

This is unbelievable yet NOT surprising. We are 100 % living in a mafia state. Mafia state — when government leaders act like organized crime bosses, using power for personal gain, intimidation, and control.

I can’t believe that as recently as a few months ago, the consensus Democratic Party position, even on the left, was that you couldn’t call to ‘abolish ICE.’

Good luck to the Democratic candidates who run in 2028 while opposing the abolition of ICE.

A rogue fascist agency.
