This is not my America. My America had a constitution. This America is ruled by a damn dictator.
Realistically, where in the hell do we go from here?

You're right, Gator113: this isn't the America you were born in.

The self-proclaimed "progressives" spent the last century and longer methodically eviscerating our constitutional republic from within. It's now a "progressive" oligarchy in all but name. The Constitution now exists as a piece of parchment on exhibit in a museum. Congress and the Supreme Court have been reduced to rubber stamps for the Executive branch. The rule of law has been supplanted by the rule of cronies. We still have civil rights on paper; actually exercising them, however, has become a guessing game.

Roughly a quarter to a third of the people have voluntarily abandoned citizenship for state serfdom. They've been enticed by "free" welfare, "free" rent, "free" telephones, et cetera, and will meekly whatever they're ordered. Ironically, their votes are no longer needed: the Democratic [sic] party's shift from vote fraud to comprehensive, systematic election fraud has rendered them obsolete; ironically, their loyalty is now considerably more expensive than necessary.

I believe the oligarchy intends to unleash a "controlled" or "moderate" economic disruption as a means to justify post-constitutional legislation. If it can scare the populace badly enough, it may be able to circumvent nearly all opposition to a "national emergency rescue plan" or "temporary economic recovery measures." Between the so-called "progressives" and the crony capitalists and unions, there won't be much left for the workers and peasants.

What if the "controlled" or "moderate" economic disruption actually turns into an all-devouring economic collapse, complete with "social disorder," I'll call it in general terms? I doubt there'd be much the oligarchy could do to soften or stave off a collapse, except wish it had been more cautious.

I believe we, the people would presently restore our constitutional republic in whatever portions of the United States were still inhabitable.
