“What to do?”

Indeed. It isn’t obvious. What will this nation look like 5, 10, 20 or 50 years from now? I’m surprised nobody has taken up the crystal ball to prognosticate.

Perhaps the best prognostication I’ve read is Lewis’ 1935 book “It Can’t Happen Here.” It’s not a pretty sight , but it sure is playing out quickly.

Of course it is! Long ago, patriots put up their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Now which of those is absolutely vital to the present rulers?

They can replace your lives with tides of eager invaders. Honor means nothing whatsoever to them. If it means something to us we must start living according to our principles.

The US government has become a protection racket. Don't enable it.

I could only read about half of that book.

It was too frightening.

FDR was our first transformative president, and whether Lewis had him or European fascists/communists in mind is irrelevant.
