A Clear and Present Danger

It is quite apparent what Trump and co. have been doing is nothing more than a hostile take-over of our federal government. Our democratic republic is clearly under assault. The United States faces a clear and present danger the longer Trump remains President. The chaos that keeps spilling over indicates that unless drastic measures are taken to remove Trump and his entire cabinet a tyrannical ruling class elite will destroy our nation as we know it.

Our economy our financial stability as a nation is now on the verge of total collapse. With over 35,000 federal employees forced out of their jobs within the past few weeks has decimated our whole economic outlook. Not to mention these federal employees many of whom protect the public in so many ways is having enormous repercussions all across the US. Our whole population is now exposed to the many dangers that these former federal workers guard against and actually do protect us.

Added to our national economic collapse the amount of tariffs being implemented has made the overall cost of living almost unbearable for millions. With the growing no. of federal job losses along with the tariffs and the shrinking employment opportunities due to the tariffs means our whole economic future as a stable nation is in real jeopardy.

The seriousness of the calamity that Trump, Musk and co. are causing is having international ramifications that are threatening the lives and livelihoods of millions all around the world. If our republican members of congress continue their blind allegiance to a regime that is blatantly ignoring the rule of law and our Constitution the US will fall and fade into history. Ben Franklin will be right "A republic if you can keep it"

Now is not the time to wallow in complacently but to unite behind a definitive plan to rid this scourge of a tyrannical ruling class elite that has commandeered our federal government. What this regime has done and continues to do is nothing short of highway robbery of our governmental programs that have been entrusted to ensure the health, safety and financial security for every American.

We always have to remember what Thomas Jefferson stated in the Declaration of Independence. It is our right and our obligation to remove such governance that acts contrary to the will of the people. And we are witnessing a regime that has no regard for the rule of law and our Constitution. The United States government is now being systematically gutted. The longer we allow Trump, Musk and co. get away with what they are doing and trying to do especially with Social Security and other governmental agencies the chaos that will ensue will only get worse.

Our now estranged relations with Canada, Mexico and nations in Europe because of what Trump thinks will make our country great with his tariffs has only hastened our removal as a leader of the free world. The sheer stupidity of his and Musk's actions to date has turned our nation inside out and our neighbors very warry about our intentions. To put it bluntly Trump, Musk and his Cabinet have made a mockery of the US in the eyes of the rest of the world.

To be clear sure there is some waste in our government but not on the scope that Trump is spouting. The Dept. of Education doesn't need to be disbanded only reformed. Social Security is the only governmental agency that is truly one of the most respected agencies we have for the past 90 years, Trump and Musk are trying to fix an agency that doesn't need to be fixed. We cannot sit ideally by and watch Trump, Musk and this administration get away with murdering our federal government and alienating our closest allies.

The greatest threat to America is not Trump, it's American apathy.

It was not the MAGA-Republicans who put Trump in Office, it was the Democrats who never even bothered to vote for anyone AT ALL who put Trump back into the Oval Office.

You have to remember that statistically, only 49% of all eligible Americans voted in that last Presidential Election.

51% of that 49% voted for Trump, which means only 49% of the remaining half either voted for Harris or didn't vote at all.

This means that it only took 26% of the entire American population to vote Trump into the Oval Office in 2024.

That is not only hilarious for the rest of the world to watch from a distance, but it shows nothing but abject contempt for America's Democratic Republic by Americans who hold legal citizenship in your country.

The reason the USA is turning into a Dictatorship by definition is because a Dictatorship is what Americans want and that's what they got.

What else would you like to know about your country?

@swirlie And to think, they still laugh at the mention of a third-party.

But who's laughing now? Nobody, literally no one. Everyone is equally miserable. Which could be considered as a dei goal achieved if you think about it.

The US political system though well intentioned, has simultaneously become too far right and too far left, with the far right appearing out of their minds while the far left appearing like they've lost their minds. Neither end of each extreme end of the spectrum is good for America, regardless of what one believes in.

The USA cannot function with the rest of the world because the rest of the world is more center-right and center-left, but is nothing at all like the USA is today nor has been during the Biden Administration.

That is why a third party as you suggest, gives Americans an option for seeking middle ground or almost neutrality, somewhat like the political system for governance that we have in Canada with it's 3-party governing system for this very reason.

A two-party system simply doesn't work in today's global economy unless your only economy is confined to your own country's borders which is where the USA is heading today and which technically cannot function as an Isolationist Nation.
