You nailed it! We live in a Country filled abundance and yet the billionaires and faux Christians want to control it all!

Trump was their path to WH, but he has been unhinged for years and it’s growing worse. He has one goal that is to rule unfettered surrounded by his loyalties. The very same thugs he brought his first time around, then he had guardrails, now he won’t!

Here is the saving grace, Trump wants to rule as a a Dictator, but he is surrounded by loyalist who have their own agenda, Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn and Sebastian Gorka, they were there in 2016, but General Kelly, (who served as Trump Chief of Staff), fired them all, sans Miller, they're all coming back!

And they are even more powerful people from Heritage Foundation, who developed project '2025', which Trump denies but plans to use! Get the condensed version unless you want a long drawn out read like, my comments. In closing know there are two many greedy self serving, power mongers involved for this to end well!

Vote like your life depends on it, it does!

All these things are true, and we can put an end to much of it with our votes, though I worry about voter suppression in places like Texas and the organized MAGAt effort to challenge results. A landslide would mitigate some of this.

I agree and I have the similar concerns. Tell everyone you know to avoid those offering to help them register to vote, Elon Musk set up that nasty little PAC, which is offering help to those who need assistance, (it’s a trap), this is great fun for him and he’s funded it to the max! I know how his mind works, like many vain men, he’s highly susceptible to compliment about his great creative genius and vision…

they can do the same on line or by calling local Election Commissions. Under no circumstances should they give their personal info to anyone, other than their local party office, or election commissions, (state or local)That info is being used to challenge or keep them from ever being registered to begin with! their votes, only people being registered are Republicans.

Finally, you may seen the surveys, in your Email, on FB or Twitter, both Mike Johnson and JD Vance have them out right now, they really need all voters input, very inticing…They are using the info to purge the voter rolls!The Games people play? Gotta go Elon is interviewing the great orange mango man!

I'm pretty sure the right doesn't even want the government to pave the roads---they want private corporations to do that and incur tolls and let big corp make some money.

That's pretty much what is happening all over Texas, of course. Pols haven't raised the gas tax in this state since 1992, which pays for roads. They get to say, "I didn't raise your taxes," and then award huge toll road deals to giant corps that funnel money back into their campaigns and officeholder accounts. They win, we lose.

I think the answer to Norway's question is that we've become an oligarchy and trump's previous supplication has strengthened oligarchical control via Federalist court appointments and willful tolerance from mass media (train wrecks sell). It will take a lot to undo his and his jackboot lickers' deeds. Perhaps a generation. Maybe we're seeing the waning of the American Experiment. This next election will tell the tale. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."

If he wins, the American experiment has begun its death rattle.
