A grim, but entirely accurate analysis of our dire plight, and its roots in the "Reagan Revolution" of 1980, which launched a slow-motion, corporate-sponsored coup d'etat, displacing democracy with neofascist plutocracy. And Trump, of course, was the apotheosis of this takeover-- a clownish, vicious con-man, devoid of intelligence and integrity, and motivated only by spite, greed, lust for power, and self-aggrandizement. You're entirely right: if the Fascists take over Congress this year, and the White House in 2024, we are finished. UNLESS...a truly charismatic leader arises who is clever enough to deflect their virulent hate-spewing, and lead the rest of us in a relentless civil disobedience campaign to subvert their power and restore democracy.
