Why social media? [1] We want to feel membership in some group (an instinct: we are safer in groups). [2] We want similar people to friend us and keep us safe. [3] We want to be loved, valued, and supported. The thumbs up does [3], without a thumbs down disapproval icon there is no [1] and [2].

Reverse social engineering... what might make public legislators turn on their constituents, destroy democratic infrastructure, and bald faced lie to everyone? [1] Theat of death to their careers and families from hostile soviet based infiltrators [2] Brainwashing from isolated indoctrination?

A tune from a famous song from Wizard of Oz

Dedicated to the Democratic Party

We spend days as news repeaters
But don't have an action leader
To mobilize constituent pain
We could make it all go viral
Get their votes to dems to spiral
If we only had a brain.

The ambient frustration at the Trump administration like electricity in a thunder cloud. If the democratic (or some) party had some action oriented leader with a bit of charisma and vision they could harness it big. I wish it could be someone like William McRaven.

March 15, 2025 historians mark the end of the American representative democracy. The Executive branch gave the finger to the Judicial branch ignoring it's ruling and the Legislative branch maintained it's immobility to create or protect laws for their constituent voters. No checks and balances. RIP.

Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, ending the Weimar Republic, and began the Nazi Third Reich.

The Enabling Act of 1933, passed in March, granted Hitler broad powers to act outside parliamentary control.

Why is a sociopath led fascist group executing the fascist playbook? The German people asked that as Nazi youth and Nazi soldiers swept through and jailed everyone. We are here now as the democrats spent 3 decades asking why the republicans were compromising all the democracy checks and balances.

Trump is a teenager in the control room of a nuclear power plant. He is pushing buttons with no knowledge of what they do and for now the staff is responding to alarms and bringing the plant back online. He is rapidly firing those that are telling him to stop doing things that risk a meltdown.

Remember, the expiration date for our government legislators' prescriptions for 'respect', 'public service', 'equal rights', and 'empathy' expired today. They are not expected to be back in stock for at least 4 years. Please do not have any expectations to use or expect them to be used.

The Fascist Huns have deluded and seduced the guards to open all the gates. The guards of Democracy have been compromised and we are under attack. Protect the women, minorities, and the elderly. We are under siege.
