When I first started reading this, I thought it was the Babylon Bee. We'll just go with a few things.
We're not a democracy. We're a representative republic.
Maybe Merrick Garland should be on the SCOTUS (or at least gotten a v**e), but it was all done legally.
I've read the Constitution, the author obviously has no understanding of it.
The Senate was ruined in 1913 by the progressives. They should be appointed by the state for the protection of the individual states. Like it was originally. It's why there are 2 houses. One is representative of number of people and the other representative of the state. That way, California can't bully Wyoming. Get it?
The reason representatives are elected every 2 years is so they DON'T get anything done. Government does everything badly except war, you know, k*****g people and breaking things. They haven't and can't cure poverty or g****l w*****g or healthcare or anything else. No matter how much they rob us and tell us they'll fix it NEXT term.
The whole article bordered on insane.
For a little sanity, head over to YouTube and watch some Thomas Sowell videos.

I'm afraid Thomas won't sink into the mind of one of the succubus seven of OPP.

Our Democracy is being altered to become a facist state. All the v**er suppression laws and redistricting are designed for one party to always stay in power. Deny that.

No it isn't except for the actions of Biden, the wanna be dictator and his wish to mandate that which most of us are against. Comparing Obama, Biden and Trump, Obama and Biden were by far the most f*****t of the three.

Although filled with BS about Trump, this article does answer the "f*****m" question.

Stacking the courts--requiring loyalty even oaths--rule by decree. perpetuation of inflamatory lies for personal gain.---Who did that?

Military action is no longer the way Facism is being installed. It is more subtle but the end goal is the same--total authoritarian control.
