In New Trumpanistan, reality as we know it will cease to exist.

Failure will become greatness, corruption will be diplomacy, incompetence will become leadership, democracy will become corporatism. enemies made from friends, safety is paranoia,and the world only as we see it in our own minds.

Unless we have a plan to wrest power from the powerful and change collective interests from serving our masters to ourselves, the system as we know it will never serve us again.

First we all have to care and we have to see what's being done and who's doing it.

At this point, the system is being set up to collapse upon itself. When a single party is in power, who's going to rescue it from its own folly?

Our existence as an empire is slowly coming to an end, perhaps during our own lifetimes. All empires end, so why should we be any different?

Our greatness will be the largest self-made scrapheap ever seen in human history and we'll only have ourselves to blame.
