This is just a note-to-self.
And it’s just a simple matter of logic.
With all the broad new powers being claimed by the current Republican President, and the purge of the military (including the JAGs), the FBI, and our national security apparatus …
… do you really think they’re going to let those new powers fall into the hands of a Democrat?
And so, if our excursion into South American-style goverment-by-oligarchy somehow proves unpopular with the masses, it’s pretty much a given that free and fair elections are history.
I would say, plan for the future accordingly.
In any case, I’m just putting down a marker, with this post, in case somebody is somehow surprised, three and a half years from now.
