here's a guy who thinks a coup is in progress, and has compelling facts

25. Oh, Hell Yes!

The only part I disagree with is the timing. The coup d’état against the United States was on election night back in November and the whole thing began with Citizens United. Once mega-corporations were given the same rights as individual citizens have, Democracy in the United States was over. Exxon Oil and the billionaire CEO's got tired of making their power plays in the shadows and have boldly stepped out on center stage with nothing to stop them. Naomi Klein is saying this, Noam Chomsky is saying it, Democracy Now is saying it. Everywhere I go on the Internet, reasoned, intelligent people are saying it and all are well sourced. The new dictatorship is moving swiftly to consolidate its power and shows no qualms about it.

Information and news has taken on a Cheshire Cat sort of quality and fades in and out to such a maddening extent that people just throw their hands up in the air and stop trying to understand what's happening. Meanwhile Traitor Trump's mindless band of supporters just keep on giving each other high fives. They'll find out the truth to their eternal sorrow soon enough.

Frankly, I feel somewhat frightened about all the things that just keep pouring down one horrible and unbelievable action right after another. I am disabled and can no longer work - ran through all my savings paying medical bills and putting a little food on my table. Now I'm dependent on a tiny check from SSDI, food stamps and a housing voucher. The plug is being pulled on Medicaid and I figure any day now, I'll wake up to find that I have no more access to medical care. And I am hardly alone - millions of low income people with disabilities, the elderly, children living in poverty all share my same plight. I am doing everything I can to fight back, but my resources and ability are so depleted that I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Would a DHS swollen with new numbers of officers turn on its own people? Why not? It's happened before - the constant references to Nazi Germany exhaust me as well. If anyone should read my reply and have ideas on how to fight back, please let me know and I'll do my best - as small as it might be.
