COUP 101: Keeping power in Banana Republics -
wait ah minute now...is that the same country who goes around the world preaching to leaders to accept elections results and respect democracy?
In reply to VIX
Seem such document was eminently more perfect than the men who crafted them ----- is that what you and problemjay have been trying to say? You think the founding fathers should have anticipated a Donald Trump? Well according to the author of a new book First Principles, James Madison did, the author quotes the key architect of the US Constitution thusly:
quite prescient, dont you think
In reply to birdseye
You understand though, that people like YOU and me in great murca weren't considered to be people in 1776 right?
Carry on smartly. Also stop complaining about gun violence if you so ecstatically embrace a document written by slave owners in 1776.
In reply to birdseye
oh so just so we have on record. You are holding to these standards and legal principles set by the founding American fathers who most of the Democrat party base supporters observe as outdated in today's America? is that what you telling us when you give us that quote as your response?
In reply to VIX
What many forget is that every single banana republic was financed and backed by di said mother of democracy

Chris Christie: Trumps Legal Team Has Been a National Embarrassment
Now we are beginning to look like we are a banana republic, he continued. Now its time for them to stop the nonsense. It is more bizarre every single day and, frankly, Im embarrassed that more people in the party arent speaking up.
In reply to Drapsey
Look, Christie and Hogan are bitter and jealous, and probably trinis ( backroom Crazies' groupthink).
Only the backroom misfits and crazies are qualified to comment on great murca!!
Those career US politicians are clearly murca haters!!

That is ridiculous. For now
It is a coup when Trump assumes power he is not granted.

Attempted coup?

No wonder #45 and his allies are so peeved about main-stream media.
Last night I was watching PBS: Frontline 3-part presentation of Hitler's Third Reich rise to power in (Nazi) Germany. There were so many similarities between the events leading up to Hitler's solidification of power, and the recent actions of the #45 campaign (and post campaign), that are simply cringe-worthy.
I left the program with a question on the timing of that program's schedule. It's as if PBS wanted us to draw parallels.
In reply to Drapsey
I was chastised by a Trump supporter for such a parallel.
Trump did not kill anyone was the retort.
I believe if he could...

One has to agree with you, (BTW, did Casper really just say dat?) America is in a hot mess. Unfortunately, it will get worst before it starts getting better. It will take more than one Biden administration, or for that matter, one Democratic administration to save America from itself, and as is usually the case, the burden for that will be borne by African Americans.
Blacks in America are the ones who have suffered the most, and yet are the foot soldiers who are constantly saving the American democracy.
They have been doing it since Reconstruction. They did it during the worse of Jim Crow, they did it in the 60s under the the attack of police dogs, whippings and water cannons; they have been doing it again and again, the latest with the election of Joe Biden. And they will be asked to do it, yet again on January the 5th. in the Georgia senate runoffs.
For without those two Senate seats Biden will get very little done to shift America from its self-inflicting tendencies and its current drift towards authoritarianism, rather than the Democracy it has on paper. One Republican, Senator Mike Lee has already let us know that America is not a democracy, and he is the one currently upholding legislation to recognize the influence and contribution of Hispanic Americans to America with the establishment of museum to such.
As Republicans continuing to hold and have control over any levers of power, the status quo will remain and this drift will continue.
As Jonathan Chait has so brilliantly highlighted in this New York Magazine article,, Trump and Trumpism is not a new thing in the Republican Party; this drift towards authoritarianism has been going on for decades. Trump has been able to shift it into a more potent and dangerous force, with the acquiescence of Republican leaders, backed by a healthy segment of Americans,who are seemingly less interested in democracy than they are in maintaining White power at all costs.
So who will save America from itself? Again, that burden will be on the backs of Black America. They have to do for their own self-interest and survival.
