4. Such rage and lunacy in a controlled environment is rare
Fri May 31, 2024, 07:59 PM
May 2024

I'm thinking this has some parallels to the French Revolution, but carried out in the modern, digital age, and in a larger country with more dispersed centers of power. That being said, are we entering the Reign of Terror? It won't be off with their heads, but more like targeted officials, and who knows how far MAGA will go. Trump is telling us HE is the patriot for the Constitution here, but he's convicted and is trying to destroy the system of law. Is the public aware, do they have the skills to sort it out? No. So what do we do but sit and wait. Be careful out there DUers!
