I mean...I would worry a bit about giving every person in this crowd arms to be peaceful with, but...eh, sure. Might be the spark this country needs to plunge it into a really bloody civil war or possibly very successful moderate and/or Left coup that everyone supports and nobody is against and nothing else bad happens, which...sure, it could happen.

TRUMPS ECONOMIC REVOLUTION

A Warning from the Edge: The Cost of Trump's Industrial Revival and the Rising Specter of American Authoritarianism

In the name of economic patriotism, Donald Trump and his Republican loyalists are orchestrating what they claim is a national revival, a resurgence of American manufacturing, sovereignty, and strength. But beneath the flag-waving and fiery speeches lies a disturbing truth: this isn’t about jobs, freedom, or prosperity. It’s about power, control, and the reengineering of America into something unrecognizable, a dystopia where the working class serves the elite under the illusion of national pride.

The Tariff Illusion: A Manufactured Crisis

Trump’s erratic imposition and removal of tariffs, including a sweeping 10% on imports and 25% on key manufacturing goods like steel, has destabilized the very industries he claimed to protect. Manufacturers are relocating again, not back to America, but to Mexico, Vietnam, and India, all to avoid uncertainty in U.S. policy. Consumer prices are rising. The middle class is shrinking. And all the while, the Republicans praise this chaos as strategy.

What we’re seeing is economic warfare against the very backbone of American society: its working and middle classes. The promise to “Make America Great Again” is proving to be a smokescreen for increasing corporate profits while everyday people pay more and earn less.

The False Promise of Factory Resurgence

Factories will return, they say, but at what cost? Trump’s vision demands not just labor but obedience. It’s a vision where people are herded into factories with minimal pay, stripped of unions, rights, and voices. China reached its industrial status through decades of controlled labor and censorship, and now Republicans want to recreate that model in America, minus even the modest worker protections the Chinese have fought to gain.

Authoritarian Echoes: Speech Suppressed, Dissent Punished

The Republican Party, once the party of Lincoln, has become a mouthpiece for autocracy. They champion “free speech” while silencing journalists, educators, and political opponents. Executive orders under Trump like “Restoring Free Speech” are Orwellian reversals, designed to gag critics and embolden propagandists.

This is no longer a debate about policy, it’s a battle for the soul of the republic.

Parallels to History: A Rebirth of Tyranny

Let us not forget: millions died in World Wars I and II to free Europe from autocrats, fascists, and monarchs. Those wars were fought so people could live without fear of being watched, silenced, or enslaved by the state. But now, in the supposed “Land of the Free,” we watch as Republicans embrace strategies that echo the darkest chapters of the 20th century.

Russia claims democracy while Vladimir Putin runs an autocratic regime of fear, where neighbors betray neighbors and paranoia governs the soul. In North Korea, the people live under absolute state control, no property, no privacy, no choice. These are not abstract warnings; they are modern examples of the very path Trump seems to admire and mimic.

The Cult of the Strongman: Trumpism’s Real Goal

Republicans today are not traditional conservatives. They are loyalists to a man, not a constitution. Trump's movement is a cult of personality, where truth is relative, history is rewritten, and opposition is labeled treasonous. They masquerade as defenders of freedom while actively dismantling its foundations.

This is not accidental. It is strategic.

The Final Warning: Democracy or Dystopia

If Trump and his enablers succeed, America will descend into a hybrid system, a capitalist autocracy where the state serves the ultra-rich, the workers serve the state, and everyone else is silenced. In this new America, you will be told where to work, what to own, and what to think. The veil of Republicanism will remain, but behind it will stand a regime as ruthless as any the world has known.

And here’s the great irony: as these forces erode liberty under the guise of greatness, socialism will rise, not from the left, but as a desperate cry from the people. When the boot comes down hard enough, the people will call not for capitalism, not for Trumpism, but for true democracy. They will rise to reclaim the freedoms they once took for granted.

The Deeper Truth: It's Not About Left or Right Anymore

Let this be clear: this is not about Democrat or Republican, both parties are in desperate need of reform. The terms have become hollow, corrupted by money, power, and ego. What we see today are not the Democrats of Roosevelt or Kennedy, nor the Republicans of Eisenhower or Lincoln.

Many Republicans today use the word "freedom" but do not understand it. They chant “democracy” while embracing leaders who trample it. But democracy isn’t a party. Democracy is a principle, one born in ancient Greece, that power belongs to the people.

And now, more than ever, we must return to that original meaning. Not Republican. Not Democrat. But the people.

The American people must awaken to this truth, because what’s coming is not just political change, it’s a spiritual reckoning.

If we fail to act, if we allow ourselves to be divided and distracted, we will wake up in a country that no longer belongs to us, ruled not by the people, but by tyrants in tailored suits and billionaires in rockets.

The Final Warning: Democracy or Dystopia

If Trump and his enablers succeed, America will descend into a hybrid system, a capitalist autocracy where the state serves the ultra-rich, the workers serve the state, and everyone else is silenced. In this new America, you will be told where to work, what to own, and what to think. The veil of Republicanism will remain, but behind it will stand a regime as ruthless as any the world has known.

And here’s the great irony: as these forces erode liberty under the guise of greatness, socialism will rise, not from the left, but as a desperate cry from the people. When the boot comes down hard enough, the people will call not for capitalism, not for Trumpism, but for true democracy. They will rise to reclaim the freedoms they once took for granted.

So I say this, while you still can speak freely: Wake up. Pay attention. Fight back. Because the America they are building is not a democracy. It is a dictatorship dressed in red, white, and blue.

Now is the time to remember what freedom really means. Before it's only a memory.

Pope Francis was a decent person.

A message to MAGA Catholics: too many of you do not identify with Pope Francis. It shows.

This is tyranny.

Vladimir, you are hurting me!
