“In case you have not been paying attention, we are in a dictatorship. Trump’s open defiance of the courts means the judiciary is toast as an equal branch. Trump only needs Congress for his tax cuts and debt-ceiling-raise bill. After that, Congress is toast as an equal branch.
As a Democrat, a citizen, and a veteran, who is critical of Trump on Substack and social media, and who has participated to date in 7 protests, am I safe?
Because of my politics, could I be put on a list?
Social Security appears to be employing a new fear tactic whereby they declare people dead by a single click. Its effect is that a recipient becomes financially dead to banks and creditors. Could I be put on that list?
Could I be audited by the IRS because I am on a list?
Could I be detained upon returning to the U.S. after a vacation this summer in Europe, where my daughter and family live, because I am on a list?
Could I be falsely accused and end up in Louisiana or El Salvador if I am on a list.
What is your answer to these questions and what are you going to do about it?”
