But you're right. All we can do is vote -- and even that is being taken away and otherwise tampered with. The only realistic response would be for the military to seize the Capital and imprison the whole Trump Administration -- including the Nazi-salute dude, Musk -- pending trial for treason -- and then execute the biggest fascists and imprison the little traitors. It's my one final wet dream, I know.

But it's only a dream. The Military won't. The Military just won't. Greasy Pete has fired, and will continue to fire, General officers insufficiently loyal to Trump, leaving behind a claque of second and third raters who will do whatever the big boss wants them to do so they can keep them stars on their uniforms. In other words, we is skunked and left hopeless in a nation ruled despotically by greed and hatred.

Jesus, I'm not supposed to be spending my fucking 80s in despair for Democracy and the rule of law. Yes, dammit, I'm talkin' to you, Jesus. If only you existed and, existing, gave a shit about the people whose lives Trump is ruining or cold bloodedly killing. Not just here, in the States, but in the entire world. But I fear, Jesus, you are the shabby looking guy sitting alone at the end of the bar, weeping and crying into his beer.
