I was an IT techie, no background in political science nor history. Today, I feel I'm witness to human evil, the deaths in the Ukraine war, the deaths in Gaza, the cost of living. I can see the references to Germany in the 1930's, discontent, persecution of people, rise of militias and gangs and use of brute force. The techniques of Putin and Orban to control media, eliminate opposition and impose absolute power.
The current administration has taken control of the Presidential Press Pool. Republicans upended the justice system -overturned Roe vs Wade, Citizens' United, Presidential immunity. The DOJ looks more like the Dept of Injustice. The world's richest man bought control over Republicans in the House of Representatives by threat of primarying any dissenter.
The spirit of the Constitution was to look after the interests of the people and deny absolute power. I suppose it was written in the belief of the goodwill of people. That spirit has disappeared nowadays. The bully gets his way.
The purpose of my posts was to raise awareness of the dark clouds.
