If our electoral system was even 10% more compromised through disenfranchisement and gerrymandering, or if our first real authoritarian Strong Leader was less of an incredibly corrupt buffoon and more wary and suave US democracy would have absolutely no chance.

we discussed were wanna-be orange sith lord, and project 2025. One of the members kept insisting (or desperately needed reassurance) that it could not happen here, that the Constitution would protect us, etc., etc. We finally gave up trying to explain. I am hpong that, by our next meeting, she hasvread project 2025.

I did give her points for trying to bring one of her young co-workers with her, hoping it would help him wake up. Alas, he did not come, because he dud not want to hear us bash his orange overlord.
