The USSR didn’t fall because people read political theory. It fell because shelves were empty and promises broke. Trump’s authoritarianism will fall the same way — by exposing the economic betrayal. My op-ed in The Contrarian. contrarian.substack.com/p/its-the-ec...

Trump pretends to care abt American flag, but: -He has auctioned it off to the Chinese & Saudi's -He thinks ppl who protect America in the military are suckers/losers -He deletes parts of the constitution if he doesn't like them -He only believes elections count if he wins

Trump's Epstein coverup is just a continuation of the GOP agenda. They defend the powerful while ripping the rug out from working families.

MCGOVERN: “.. It is extraordinary that they’re so scared shitless over these Epstein files, that they’ve done something that I’ve never seen happen before. I mean, basically they just shut down for the week.” @politico.com www.politico.com/live-updates...

This is what it looks like to run a cover-up operation for the elite and powerful. You cancel Congress rather than having to vote for disclosure. www.politico.com/live-updates...
