The Current Political Reality in America is Like a Political Fiction Movie.

There is just no way that by the turn of the 21st century anyone could have imagined that barely a quarter of a century later the United States would find itself navigating the troubled political waters that the country is navigating today. No fiction writer depicting the current American political reality in a novel would have sounded realistic enough as to capture the attention of the public.
Not even the genius of Tom Clancy would have been able to weave together a plot convincing enough as to resemble the present national circumstances. In reading such a novel, most readers would have said, “Ha, this is way too farfetched. It doesn’t make any sense. No American in his right mind would fall for such naked, blatant demagoguery”.
And they would say so thinking that, just as I had always thought, the American people are much smarter than that. But, Alas! As farfetched and inconceivable as the present American predicament may be, it is undeniably true and real.
For a few different reasons, millions of Americans have fallen face-first for the Fascist demagoguery of a corrupt, depraved, conman. Just picture that part of the political platform of the Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party includes the following outrageous proposals (to see the source, please click on the highlighted text):
1. He will arrest all homeless people across the country for "urban camping," round them up and then "relocate them" to "tent cities" where they can be "rehabilitated”. 4/18/23.
2. Require every federal employee to take a new patriotism exam and they will be terminated if they refuse to take them or fail to pass. 4/14/23.
3. He will build 10 new Trump "freedom cities" around the country which will be free of any government regulations. 4/14/23,

Could you have imagined just a couple of decades ago that in 2024 one of the two candidates for President of the United States would openly propose such outrageous policies and still get the support of millions of Americans?
Well, imagining is no longer the matter. The 27 proposals outlined above are in fact part of Donald Trump’s political platform. Want to send that guy to the White House so that he can implement those insidious policies? Vote Republican on November 5th.
Want to save America from falling down a dark hole of authoritarianism that can only lead to dictatorship? Vote Democrat across the board.
