Great substack Steve, I wish our Democratic senators and representatives would began to be as direct and vocal as you have been on this and many other subjects that the maga republicans have refused admit are huge problems that must be addressed.The Dems must begin to attack these problems with more than a speech in the well of the Senate that nobody is listening to . Do they really believe that huge numbers of voters watch CSPAN? The only response that I receive from the Dems are letters and emails asking for donations. They have to become more vocal, direct and combative. They are losing the support of people like me.

You are exactly the voter Democrats need to reach, but they worry more about offending those who would never vote for them that appealing to those who would.

Steve -- would you agree that the lunch-pin of the present Trump Nazi Government - are:

--- their personal security details (with Kash Pattel requesting a personal side-arm- wonder what he's scared of) - and:

--- the total acquiescence and Dereliction of Duty of the present US Military Leadership - as "led" by Trump's pet - "Ra-Ra cheer-leader; Lt. Gen "Razin' Caine:

--- because that is what is allowing Trump's Nazis administration to be in place - the fear of ICE / the security details and the US Military being illegally used within the US.

Fact: there is no "Approved by Congress" Declaration of War against any Nation.

Fact: thus - any and every person, either giving or following an illegal order Trump has issued -- is also guilty of each act, - and so far - there have been a ton of illegal orders given - at all levels - and followed - at all levels.

So you would be doing all of those US Military personnel a huge favor:

--- by letting each and every one of them- to a person; know that they, including Trump as Commander in Chief of the US Military -- are totally open to be sued for their complete Dereliction of Duty while on Duty - and breaking their oath - sworn on the day they joined "The Service" to:

--- "...honor and protect the US / it's Constitution / and the peoples within it's borders:

--- from harm from without and / or within...".

This is especially egregious in that this "government (with a small "g") is a long-term, carefully planned; home grown, Heritage Foundation group of Nazis that former Republican, now Trump Nazi MAGA Party US Senator Mitch McConnell shepherded into positions throughout the US Court system - including the Supreme Court 6:

--- who has stated that "...he is proud of what he's done..."..

They all committed Treason against the US - using the US Court system as their

"path to commit their coup d'tat" - by counting on the good-will of the people of the US to not thinking that such a Treasonous Act would be taken from within the US itself.

AS for the "Military Brass" -- there is no distinction between a coup d'tat from outside the US Borders, or one from within -- they have failed in a truly cowardly way - in their total collapse -- because Trump - being the publicly self-proclaimed Dictator on Day 1 as he is -- told them what he would do if elected - during both elections.

The US Military Brass didn't want to just hear it - they decided to fold- like the entire German High Command did in the run-up to WW II.

And if George Washington hadn't had the people to lead in is fight to free the "US to be" in our War for Freedom against a real King - King George of England:

--- the US as it has been for the last 249 - would never had been formed.

This present act of Republican Political Treachery -- starting long before Trump was "found" by the MAGA crowd.

In fact it goes back before the US Civil War - with The South's criminal Leader, Jefferson Davis - starting the MAGA motto -- and it has to be dealt with for what it is - a Nazi led attempted coup-d'tat; with hopefully appropriate legal ramifications rendered against every last one of them.

Unless these Nazis learn that there is no place in the US for their ideologies - as there is no acceptable or good Nazi:

--- they will continue to try to take over the US - as Nazi MAGA believers are no different that any animal that has lost it's mind to Rabies:

--- and they have to be dealt with as such - non-violently of coarse.
