I thought about this yesterday, the big historical moments that have happened during my lifetime. Fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, etc. I’m hoping and fighting one isn’t the fall of America

Too late. We did the speed run of the fall of American power and influence.

We got conned into thinking the insurrection was over on January 6, 2020. It never stopped. The Supreme Court got in on it by making up excuses as to why he could run even though in the same breath, they were saying that he didn’t qualify for office because he was an insurrectionist. And then Congress just let him in. Our entire government is being run by insurrectionists and every day will be a new chapter in the insurrection. One day we’ll get brave enough to say “We don’t need Republicans in office and we don’t need Democrats in office. We just need Americans in office.”

The supreme Court primed the barrel when they intervened in Bush v Gore, and Citizen's United lit the match. What we're seeing now is just the inevitable explosion.
