Every time you see something like this in the headlines, I’d like you to have this thought in the back of your mind: <i>“We have a king. Disrespecting the king must be punished.”</i><p>Use that as a reminder that you no longer live in a true representative republic or anything like it, no matter what superficial performative aspects remain. Fundamentally, the USA is now ruled by a King, not a President.<p>It will remind you of this fun law: <a href="https://amp.abc.net.au/article/104135048" rel="nofollow">https://amp.abc.net.au/article/104135048</a><p>It will remind you of what conservatives (“the right”) are fundamentally about: <i>conserving the power of the king</i> and keeping the accumulated wealth of the nobility safe.<p>You’re watching the birth of a new American Empire of North Pacifica that includes the Kingdom of Canada, the Kingdom of Panama and the Kingdom of Greenland. These will be ruled by princes and princesses that all have the Trump surname.<p>Again, remember, that the King is openly calling for war to enlarge his kingdom into an empire and <i>the nobles are falling in line</i>.<p>No one has dared question this or to depose the king.<p>If the king wills it, then war it is.
