It’s not a Banana Republic.
We are now a Fascist nation. We are closely following the progress of Germany in the early 1930’s. Corporations and Government are running everything. That’s not a Republic.
We are far more dangerous to ourselves and the world as a Fascist Nation.
Weimar Republic...
America's 2008 crash...
When Caesar and his legions crossed the Rubicon into Italy, that ended the Roman republic, it was a point of no return.
Similarly, Biden's actions have crossed a point of no return for our Republic. For years, conservatives have fought the good fight, ostensibly under Marquess of Queensbury rules, i.e. under the principles set out in the Constitution.
No more...anyone who voted for Biden is now my enemy, to be treated as such. That includes a fair number of my in-laws who voted for him. For the past 18 months, my wife has admonished me to not bring up politics, and up until now, I've acquiesced to her wishes. No more, I'll just stay home with the dog. I'm sure we'll both be happy, as you aren't drinking alone when the dog is with you.
There is not much difference. A rose by any other name, is still a rose.
