China is sending similar warnings to Taiwan, as is North Korea to its neighbors, while Venezuela is trying to annex parts of Guyana.

History professors with expertise in the demise of democracies, such as Ruth Ben Ghiat and Timothy Snyder, have warned, as have international relations experts Richard Haas and Ann Applebaum. The movement in America is fueled by white grievances, changing demographics, and the fear of being replaced by non-whites, a fear that was heightened when a black president was elected. Their solution is to elect a convicted felon whose resume includes rapist, racist, snake oil salesman, and compulsive liar. He is obsessed with autocrats and strongmen and has indicated that when he returns, he will tear up the Constitution and roll back all the progress made during the civil rights era. He has taken full responsibility for repealing Roe v. Wade, promises to do the same with Obamacare, and will withdraw from NATO. God bless America, but they don’t know what for.

THE EDITOR: War is not coming. It is already here. The events that preceded the two world wars are being repeated. If carried out, America’s policy of isolation will be its undoing, as its enemies unite against it while it turns its back on its old allies, all in the name of making America great again, aka MAGA.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated he will not stop at Ukraine. Estonia, Latvia and Poland are next. China is sending similar warnings to Taiwan, as is North Korea to its neighbors, while Venezuela is trying to annex parts of Guyana.
The US election is less than six months away and polls show former President Donald Trump will return to the White House. If that happens, it will spell the end of the great American experiment in democracy.

The movement in America is fueled by white grievances, changing demographics and the fear of being replaced by non-whites, a fear that was heightened when a black president was elected.
