There is no longer any feasible argument against the notion that the USA has devolved into a violently fascist caste system, led by an illiterate dictator. Measures are being made to ensure a shrinking middle class along with derision and chattel slavery for the majority in the form of an economy that provides less and less. Any semblance of a so called democracy has been shattered cabalistically using historical chicanery and manipulation as a base for power. This power is consolidating itself into ever fewer hands and reeking havoc on any remaining notion of equality.

Contemporary racial, economic and religious biases have been created and used insidiously to further empower the top echelons of our society and bolster wealth for gentry from all corners of the world. A resolution for the people cannot continue to fall in line with this order and it’s system of rules and rulers that cater to this corrupt hierarchy at the expense of all others.
Recently the right has shifted districts as unilaterally as possible in an obvious effort to cripple the voting powers of large swaths of populations who’s interests naturally run in contrast to theirs.

Gerrymandering has been a form of trickery even since before marginalized populations achieved the right to vote. The consequences of such policy are greater now than ever before. We’ve entered into an unconstitutional war, began displacing people based on race, subjected artists, writers, preachers and activists to investigations based on their noncompliance to or stands against a certain political leader, subjected our citizenry to constant surveillance, blockaded one neighboring nation all but invaded another(Cuba and Venezuela respectively) and this is just to start. Any opposition to the present power base is governmentally challenged increasingly and there’s vastly ever smaller weapons to fight through the system.
These strategies are nothing new in the sphere of global politics. In the US there is conveniently no constitutional amendment banning gerrymandering after all. Some in our nation have enjoyed the power it has afforded them since the dawn of our so called democracy for better or for worse.

Others feel the weight of our republic bear down on them with little in the way of a defense in the form of their votes because of lines on a map. Manipulations just like these have kept Putin and his faction in power in Russia’s sham of a democracy for decades. Hungary’s democracy is marred by Viktor Orban and his ilk in their use of strategic districting.

England has historically redistricted lands they’ve gathered to quell political challenges and reform for hundreds of years. This is all for the sole reason of oppression. This oppression does not stop at a certain racial group or sexual identity. It won’t stop at a certain tax bracket or religion. It’s being used to weaken any form of political uprising to come from farmers, workers, seniors and anyone else deemed unnecessary to have any form of financial and/or asset protection.

Any group of persons that can be subjugated or oppressed using district lines loses any form of voting power outlined in our country’s supposed framework. All of this is just another form of segregation allowing broader powers to a government burgeoning on fascism.

Meanwhile, we’ve fettered in a little water war with Iran, that has a long list of global implications, without congressional approval. Putin also moves to war without approval from his “Federal Assembly”. Hitler, like Trump bypassed his so called “Reichstag” to start his wars. However, as crazy as Saddam Hussein was, he at least kept the appearance of Iraq’s “council approval” for his wars, albeit through threats of violence but how far are we from that really? We have a leader espousing the takeover of Greenland as his cronies muster support with speeches ensconced in religion that falsely accuse their political rivals of atrocities up to and including the murdering of babies. They recruit members of ICE with racist rhetoric and laugh in the face of working, tax paying communities. The successes from all of this lies in the fervor and destabilization created as a distraction from all of the money being syphoned out of whole countries and poor populations globally to the top one percent, while simultaneously and aggressively eliminating our own poor from any base of power.

Along with all of this, Trump’s caps on student loans only serve to further disenfranchise and disempower the lowest rungs of our economy. Unfortunately, the greatest diplomas from underfunded schools don’t hold as much weight as average performers from better schools with better teachers. A limit on student loans cripples smart kids with small wallets. This is an intentional attempt to weaken the lower class as in this age, free information can be a weapon from further and further distances, let alone the threat of our poor attending the same colleges and institutions as our rich. These actions will stand to further the divide between the classes to a point of noncontact except through surveillance. Political prognosticators, pundits, writers, even just people who have spoken against Trump, or against data centers, ICE, or who knows who else are already being provably surveilled and/or questioned by agents of various sort. Will Ferrell sketches are being investigated, AI is already being used to spy on us as the NSA, FBI, DHS and others always have.

So, if our republic spies on it’s people in the name of the state, declares wars at the behest of one man, rigs elections, limits education and professional opportunity, and consolidates power against the many for the good of the few – What is it that we really have here? Personally, I need not an ideology or an ism, but; being that I was born into a role in a system that already had an established identity, only to discover the identity is a lie, I am tempted to panic. Historical context is providing a framework for a fascist America, or worse a fascist world. We the people can no longer afford to sit idly by and watch our freedoms disintegrate. Rid yourself of the provisions given to us in the name of this so called democracy. Barter when possible, do not cast votes for thieving zealots, spend what money you must at small businesses, Do not accept lies, or war, or discriminatory policies or actions.

Do not lay down for power. Fight when and where you can. Perhaps we can create a new society.
