It's hard to accept your country is gone [View all]

But they are burning it to the ground and no one can stop them.
When they are finally stopped, it will be too late.
Sorry, but this ends in catastrophe for most of us.

So let me elaborate on this dark post.
Can we get it back? Sure, in 4 years if we are lucky. Maybe take Congress in 2026 and stop him any further. Can we rebuild? Sure, but we are talking about years to decades to recover from the damage.
In the mean time, Musk and his goons have stolen the sensitive data from our Government and probably given it to Russia and or China. The damage is done. They have erased Gigabytes of history from the system, they are systematically destroying the functionality of the Government. If it hasn't happened already it will once Gabbard and Patel are installed, our National Security secrets will be in the hands of Putin. The author of Project 2025 is not in charge of the OMB. Project 2025, not the Constitution is now the principal document of the United States.
So tell me how calling my Rep or going to a Town Hall stops this. It's fascism, my Grand Parents saw this in Germany, it ended when their country was is smoldering ruins.
