History shows that letting dictators get away with their rules and broken rules that hurt the population of the country makes things much worse.

I’m paraphrasing, but the general idea, reminds me of Donald Trumps leadership , which has been calamitous at best , and criminal at worst .It has gotten us exactly dead centered on authoritarian means.

His followers have jumped on the mess he has made.

Let remember who assisted him in this endeavor, Putin, the Supreme Court, ( Citizens United) . Allowing federal funds to go to Christian based schools( because we ignore separation of church and state ) this country was founded on.

They have changed the rules this country was founded on.

Fifty years of legal precedent thrown down , because their Church demands it.

76% of Americans support abortion.

Not of concern for these conservative judges, who just happen to be Christian.

This is the ‘new Christianity ‘one where haters seek cover under Jesus, and He isn’t having it.

Remember when Democracy was about majority rule.

Now its about Corporate money funding the far right.

These monied candidates and their followers are not the majority in this country.

So , the fact that money makes the rules, and not the people. ‘Of the people , for the people and by the people’.

Where are we now?

Just a quibble: got any evidence that "He isn't having it?"
