The American Constitution, adopted between 1787 and 1789, has gone through multiple crises, including most notably the Civil War, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, the Great Recession, and the COVID 19 Pandemic.
Through it all, the basic belief in American democracy and freedom has held, due to strong leadership in Congress and the Presidency.
But now, America faces a very severe threat to our system of checks and balances and separation of powers, as Donald Trump and his Billionaire supporters, and most notably Elon Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, are posing a massive threat and disrupting our economic, social, and foreign policy.
Donald Trump in just 24 days has been acting like a revolutionary leader, creating a whirlwind of constant crises and challenges.
It is difficult to keep up with the chaos which is assisted by MAGA followers and Republicans willing to give up their oversight over the Executive branch.
The role of the news media, the Democratic Party in the states and in Congress, and massive numbers of lawsuits, as well as public demonstrations and support, are the only way to prevent the threat of Fascism.
This is a time to pay attention, and be constantly active in pursuit of the truth, and the abuses of power that are being waged.
This is not a time to turn our heads and ignore what is happening, as that would just insure an authoritarian dictatorship!
