Left to his own devices, with the assistance and ill-advised guidance of his loyal, fearful sycophants, our current tyrannically-minded president has been attempting to abolish our freedoms, free speech, voting rights and freedom of the press.

How can this flagrant assault on our Constitution and our freedoms be possible?

Would-be tyrants are narcissistic, self-deceived megalomaniacs who see themselves as superior to other human beings and are possessed by their obsessive need for power and total control ─ indifferent to the possible harm and misery they would eventually cause their "subjects"!

True to their nature, to achieve their innate power-grabbing ambitions, power hungry would-be tyrants will always be ready to take advantage of any situation necessary to succeed in their tyrannical endeavors.

When possible, they will engage in whatever actions may be necessary to achieve their tyrannical ends ─ offering wealth-obsessed plutocrats "quid pro quo" deals to get their financial support or committing corrupt, unlawful or criminal acts!

Totally disregarding the disloyal deeds they may be about to commit, to further ensure success in their dictatorial efforts, wannabe dictators will solicit the friendship and assistance of individuals inimical to the form of government and interests of their own country ─ for example:

• Plutocrats: insatiable, wealth/power-obsessed financial benefactors who are prone to accept the wannabe dictator's profitable "quid pro quo", enticements.
• Tyrants: feared, deadly, long-tenured freedom-hating dictators who would gladly provide whatever type of assistance the wannabe dictators require to achieve their traitorous goals.

  Notably, Vladimir Putin, Hungary's corrupt, recently-defeated Viktor Orban and North Korea's Kim Jun Un are living supporters of our current U.S. tyrant-wannabe.

• Sycophants: deceived, loyal wannabe dictator's "useful gang" willing to commit any deed ordered by their "boss", whether unlawful, criminal or insurrectionary ─ which they later regret when paying the consequences, realizing their misguided gullibility!

Given the abovesaid, it would be dangerously naive to assume that the elimination of any given tyrant would forever prevent a repetition of his reign of terror.

The dreadful reality still remains: "wannabe tyrants will always exist" ─ always plotting to deceive and control trusting loyal individuals unable to anticipate their "boss'" real power-grabbing intentions.

As the citizens of Minneapolis who experienced the fear and abuse of a tyrannically-minded president and his sycophants will agree, if severe measures to prevent future attempts to undermine our Constitution are NOT implemented ─ let it be known that, to achieve their treacherous ends, future tyrant wannabes will never stop lurking and plotting!

With support from plutocratic financial supporters, loyal sycophants and immutable politically-affiliated constituents, would-be tyrant candidates prone to say what their supporters want to hear ─ especially promises of lower taxes ─ might succeed the next time around!

Confirmative of the foregoing, as follows, when promised higher future profits and benefits, millions of American voters are prone to develop a "let-bygones-be-bygones" attitude ─ no matter who the promisor is!

Evidently, no matter how incompetent, immoral, deceptive, self-serving or criminal a candidate might be, as long as he/she promises support of their constituents' personal self-serving issues, especially "lower taxes", millions of individuals have no qualms voting for said candidate.  To wit:

• 2016: Trump agrees to pay $25 million as settlement for his shutdown "Trump University" unlawful scams.
• October 2016: Hollywood tape of Trump's lewd comments about women is released.
• July, 2018: Publicly, in the Helsinki summit, Trump defends his friend Vladimir Putin's denial regarding his 2016 election interference, refusing to believe the conclusions reached by all U.S. intelligence agencies ─ a.k.a., a flagrant act of treason!
• January 6th, 2021: Refusing to leave the White House, Donald Trump put his long-planned, disloyal, criminal, televised insurrection in motion, where various police officers perished and his Vice President was almost hanged.
• May, 2023-24: Donald Trump loses 2 distinct lawsuits against E. Jean Carroll: One $5 million for sexual abuse and defamation and another $83.3 million for defamation.
• May 2024: Donald Trump found guilty on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records.
• Mid 2024: To this date, Donald Trump had accrued 88 criminal charges.

Despite the partial above shown list of unlawful, immoral acts commited by Donald Trump, ignoring his criminal, constantly-televised, January 6, 2021 insurrectionary acts, on November 5, 2024, more than 77 million Americans reelected Donald Trump!

Why was Donald Trump reelected in 2024 despite his many years-long, well-known, corrupt and unlawful behavior?

Answer: Because Donald Trump, whose main interest is the acquisition of wealth ─ and paying the lowest amount of taxes possible ─ promised to lower tax rates if elected and the wealthy and the misguided majority of voters got him elected.

As always, only when the economy affects their pockets negatively are voting majorities willing to replace the current government ─ which they had previously elected.

However, as long as everyday Joes are satisfied with their economic situation, a "political upheaval" would be a rare thing ─ no matter how corrupt, self-serving or criminally culpable current government officials may be!

Obviously, to save our Constitutional Republic, we cannot count on the wisdom of a great number of voters whose votes revolve around their own, oft-misguided interests.
