Retired career Marine trained to challenge unlawful orders. Pro-democracy & definitely not a fascist. It’s ok to question things - if it sounds fishy, question it at least twice. Camino 2024 & 2026. Buen Camino, y’all.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.
