In 2023, the US was like Botswana — a "flawed democracy."
By the end of 2028, will it be like Zimbabwe — an "authoritarian regime"?

The US was a "flawed democracy" in 2023.
Now, it's on a glide path to an "authoritarian regime."

After decades of work, the Republicans have built a falsehood-loving electorate.
The Dems need to catch up to this reality.

In the US, facts don't matter. What matters is the sales pitch.
The Democrats need ethically flexible salesmen.

Decades ago, the Republicans started their "keep America stupid" movement, with the purpose of making it easier for themselves to stay in power simply by lying to the people.
They have succeeded, possibly beyond their wildest dreams.
