Wendy:

Thank you for this.

I have gone on record as saying that the US is fascist regime.

Rationale: Until the genuine nature of the regime is openly acknowledged, the campaign against it will lack necessary impetus.

We are in a pre-revolutionary condition that is increasingly ready to explode beyond the capacity of state institutions, including both political parties, to contain.

As I see it, that is the way forward.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not willing to confront the realities of the United States Constitution and the Federal Budget through serious dialogue with Congress.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

A coup is a sudden and illegal seizure of power from a government, usually carried out by a small group, such as the military or political leaders.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The actions of Elon Musk and Donald Trump meet the definition of a coup.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

They are making radical changes to the federal government and promoting a different ideological agenda, one that lacks practical grounding. This is an illegal seizure of power from the U.S. government.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Congress must show that the actions of Elon Musk and Donald Trump align with the definition of a coup and threaten the U.S. Constitution.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Congress must create a focused and measured response.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The outdated old way of doing things will not work to end this coup because the process will be too slow compared to the speed at which Musk and Trump are making changes. Something must change before it's too late. It's may already too late.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Trump supporters are in a "shared psychosis" created by Trump’s delusions and distorted reality that has been transmitted to the least educated amongst us. By now, some of them are waking up to the realization that what is happening is not what they wanted. They'll become fully awake when all their Medicaid benefits have been taken away. It will be too late for them to do anything about it.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Joyce Vance is right. The courts aren't the calvary. The people not in a shared psychosis are the calvary. We are the calvary. The Democrats in Congress are the calvary.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

To end this coup, Congress needs to act decisively and urgently by invoking emergency powers, publicly exposing the full scope of the threat, and mobilizing the public to defend democratic institutions.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Additional Immediate Actions:

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

1. Declare a Constitutional Crisis

Formally recognize the actions of Elon Musk and Donald Trump as a direct threat to the U.S. Constitution and national security.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

2. Invoke Emergency Powers

Use the powers granted under the National Emergencies Act to counter ongoing attempts to undermine lawful governance and prevent further damage.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

3. Fast-Track Legislation

Pass emergency legislation to restrict executive overreach and curb private actors from interfering with government operations.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

4. Empower Whistleblowers

Provide legal protection and incentives for insiders to reveal unconstitutional actions and secret agendas.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

5. Direct Public Mobilization

Urge immediate civic action through mass communication campaigns, encouraging public protest, legal advocacy, and grassroots engagement.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

6. Engage State and Local Governments

Partner with state governors and local officials to safeguard democratic processes and block unlawful federal orders.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

7. Secure Critical Agencies

Protect institutions like the Department of Justice and the intelligence community from political interference.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

8. Demand Media Accountability

Hold media platforms accountable for spreading misinformation and require factual reporting on government actions.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

9. Coordinate with Global Allies

Work with international partners to defend democratic norms and isolate anti-democratic forces.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The time for slow bureaucratic processes is over. Swift, bold, and collective action is required to preserve our constitutional democracy.
