American democracy keeps facing the same test. Reconstruction. Watergate. January 6th. Each was an inkblot: some saw freedom and law, others tyranny and betrayal.

The danger isn’t just the crisis—it’s perception unmoored from fact. A lie, repeated often enough, creates its own inkblot. Not to reveal the viewer. But to control them.

Trump & his #MAGA goonsquad #shutdown the federal government back in January. #Project2025 is about completely dismantling the federal government, including #USMIL

when #corporate #mainstreamMedia write about this moment, make sure they don’t miss the most important points of Trump’s #tv #media #propaganda moment:

1. Trump is, as POTUS, openly declaring a #civilWar against unarmed civilians

2. Trump is asking USMIL generals to commit TO #genocide. he is asking for LOYALTY TO GENOCIDE.

So…this is it. The end of everything. The escalation that we’ve feared.

“Full force.”

Portland is about to become ground zero for live rounds and the civil war between fascism and everything that is good.

I’m very, very frightened for what is upon us here. In my own backyard, where kids are playing and people are walking by the river. The propaganda is insanity.
