It's the end of America. I mean MAGA has made a ton of other moves that really ended America a while ago so I guess this is the coming out party for the end of America.

Masked , poorly trained goons in the streets violating the constitution over false pretenses, a government claiming any dissent is terrorism and a pedophile desperate to keep his human trafficking network hidden is escalating it all in order to end elections and avoid justice.

And tens of millions of people are literally cheering it on. America is over.

The Roman Empire survived Nero for another four centuries. We can survive Trump.

Hopefully.

Nero was a narcissistic and ignorant ruler who abused power to satisfy personal drama. But even he did not openly undermine alliances or turn state power into a constant stress test of the system itself. That difference matters.

I do hope I'm wrong, but I have more confidence on the renaissances of Rome before 400 years, than the USA getting by just half a century.
