My Final Political Post - The Republican Strategy, Key Players, Timeline, Likely Outcome, and How We Should Respond What started with a single question about the proliferation of anti-vax conspiracy theories, resulted in a life-changing discussion with A.I. about our future. My future.

It is my fervent belief that rising authoritarianism and fascism is the direct result of 50-plus years of deliberate effort. I truly see this post as an incredibly urgent read for anyone concerned about the survival of our democracy. Thank you! open.substack.com/pub/anchorli...
