Everything he does takes America backward. He's turning us into a Third World country.

Ive been saying for a few years that the republicans would turn the US into a failed state.

I had always hoped i was just being hyperbolic, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

We don't have much time to save it - or to have a chance of saving it.

Nope.

And their rhetoric is slowly ratcheting up in intensity, lately suggesting that the usual checks and balances are the judiciary "playing President."

They're simply trying to *poof* an all powerful POTUS into being by just acting like it's so.

The courts have proven incapable of restraining it because ultimately their decisions depend on the good faith actions of those they're ruling on. They have no teeth when those being ruled against simply say "f(*& you, try me."

It's increasingly likely that the only thing that's going to "save it," or at least slow the progression, is enough of the military finally saying enough is enough and it's time to fulfill their oath to the Constitution.

But that opens an entirely new set of problems whose only solution is to keep your foot on the gas and take it to the bitter end, whichever end that may be. Either way, we're likely in for some level of civil strife or, at the very least, desperation turning to widespread violence.

I also hoped that my previous urging to buy a means to protect yourself and your loved ones along with sufficient ammo and supplies to be self-sufficient for at least several weeks was mere hyperbole. I'm afraid that's also not turning out to be the case.
