One way to look at the rapid dismantling of American democracy is as a conspiracy of three radical groups that are, in theory, ideologically opposed—autocrats, technocrats and theocrats. Let’s call them the Crats:
An autocrat is a ruler who holds absolute power and authority over a state or organization, often without being restricted by laws, constitutions, or other governing bodies.
A technocrat is a person who is governed by or advocates for rule by technical experts, especially in government.
A theocrat is a person who is governed by or advocates for rule by religious leaders or religious law, especially in government.
The US federal government is captured by an uneasy collaboration between an autocrat who only has his power by virtue of cooperation by both theocrats and technocrats—who helped rig the system to ensure he won for their own ideological reasons. The Crats, collectively, are also responsible for continuously helping manufacture an alternate reality that keeps people under psychological control while acquiring more and more power in the process.
As long as the Crats stick together, there is very little the rest of us can do because underneath it all, let’s be clear, the Crats have a mutually assured destruction pact. It’s the government equivalent of “Where we go one, we go all” and they are all going there, wherever that is, as fast as they can.
And let’s be honest, right now, they’re winning. The Crats have democracy on the ropes. The theocrats on the Supreme Court just threw the country to the wolves, with the full knowledge of what Trump is trying to do—to seize permanent power, as all autocrats must. After granting Donald Trump immunity to do basically anything he wants last year, SCOTUS just made all of his Executive Orders nearly impossible to stop, regardless of their constitutionality or legality.
The only way American citizens can legally prevent Trump from, just for example, kidnapping American citizens en masse and sending them to concentration camps, is by class-action lawsuit—which is just crazy. The arguments Amy Coney-Barrett made were, even for a non-lawyer, transparently designed to reach the result she wanted, by any means necessary, with nothing more than judicial gaslighting.
“No one disputes that the Executive has a duty to follow the law. But the Judiciary does not have unbridled authority to enforce this obligation—in fact, sometimes the law prohibits the Judiciary from doing so.”
Amy Coney-Barrett, Trump v. CASA
Nonsense.
Moreover, the fact that the theocrats ended one of the primary tools for citizens to protect themselves from autocrats, court injunctions, by using a case involving challenging birthright citizenship, was also a message of Crattish unity.
“The theocrats are with the autocrat. Get used to it, libs. We’re leaving you on your own with him, and we’re going on vacation until October. See ya.”
The “Big Beautiful Bill” currently being debated in the Senate will explode the budget for the violent gestapo terrorizing America. It was rammed through the House by devout theocrat Mike Johnson. And as Aaron Reichlin-Melnick posted:
If the bill passes, it could make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for detention than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers on board than the entire FBI.
This alone could transform American society forever.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring
Simultaneously, massive money flows are going into concentration camps like, as just one example, the $500 million “Alligator Alcatraz” being built by Ron DeSantis in Florida. This is all designed to become industrialized ethnic cleansing of the kind not seen in America since Native Americans were systematically slaughtered to make room for the white man.


What about the technocrats? Where are Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in this scenario, for example? Among other things, they’re getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars by the federal government to invent drones controlled by autonomous AI that make kill decisions without human intervention. This is Palantir’s entire pitch being funded by our tax dollars.

But the $500 million is just a small part of the $25 billion being spent to start the “Golden Dome” which allegedly includes an array of hundreds of “attack satellites” over America. All of it is being pushed as fast as possible because technocrats want to have the ultimate power, the ability to kill people on command. And the autocrat is happy to pay for them to build that button, as long as he’s the one who gets to push it.
So, I’m going to be blunt. The Crats have teamed up to enslave us, to eliminate entire classes of people they don’t like, and to end the Rule of Law in America. The only question is what the country looks like after they’re done, and who’s in charge.
As a final twist of the knife, the other “crats” in this story, the Democrats, are being influenced by the enemy, wittingly or not.
For example, Kirsten Gillibrand, who once led the charge to get rid of Al Franken for a mild joke, has been responsible for pushing through some of the most dangerous legislation this Congress has managed to pass, including the GENIUS Act, a pure gift to technocrats, and in turn, Donald Trump.
[Elizabeth] Warren told Rolling Stone ahead of key votes that the GENIUS ACT would “create a superhighway for Donald Trump’s corruption.”
Yes, and also crypto is a nuclear financial time bomb. Anyone pushing for it is either deeply corrupt or deeply ignorant, one or the other—or both.


More recently, Gillibrand went on a rant attacking democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City, with a stew of bigotry and falsehoods that I was honestly shocked to hear, but makes more sense when you understand that she’s part of the bigger problem.
You cannot play ball with the Crats, you can’t be “bipartisan” with them. You can’t negotiate a “win-win.” What you have to do is the oldest trick in the book—divide et impera, divide and conquer. Split their coalition.
We saw a crack in Crat unity when the “Technoking of Tesla” Elon Musk was sent packing from the White House, and just today, he is expressing his displeasure with the autocrat’s massive budget because it makes things harder for himself.
There are two ways out of this. The “easy” way, which is to somehow get to the 2026 elections, sweep both houses of Congress, and to hold onto democracy by our fingernails until 2028, and the hard way, which I don’t even want to consider.
In the end, this is not a left-right thing. It’s not a Democrat-Republican thing. We need to form a coalition of anti-Crats.

I honestly believe the easy way of a midterm sweep is no longer an option. Even if it were a possibility, there would be nothing easy about the next 1.5 years for millions of immigrants or citizens.
I think there are only two options still on the table.
The first is a massive general strike. Bringing the wheels of capitalism to a halt will undoubtedly be a painful experience for many who already live a hand to mouth existence. But all of the "crats" worship the almighty dollar, so there's a chance such a tactic might work, even if it is slim.
The final option is better left to your imagination, because it will exact a much greater toll.
We will not see a 26 midterm. Period.
I don’t dredge through the constitution and all the myriad ways it’s been perverted.
I look to the Federalist Papers.
Yup, white, slave owning men but they knew enough without citing details of which future seers might.
They were united in the concepts that, like the constitution, have since become perverted.
It doesn’t take a scholar to know what they fought against and what they didn’t want to happen again if you can keep it.
Common fkn sense is not what the Robert’s Court has. I’ve noted previously that if they feel safe from the Executive they’ve emboldened then the ship is doomed.
It appears we’re doomed.
I like beer said today the birthright citizenship injunctions issue really won’t change much. It takes 700 judges out of the picture and leaves us with 9. 6 that are one shy of the 7 pillars of tyranny.
But they’re available 24/7/365. Fabulous to know your Trump ass kissing is on call to do more damage.
The Founders were clear and ACB is wrong. Many decisions were wrong.
I could motion the SCOTUS for review of the immunity ruling based on Roberts lame twisted logic of energy, unity, and after just slaying a King…No, Fed 70 does not deserve to be sent through the paper shredder (pun to their precursor to immunity in Fischer) to say they actually wanted all power put in the hands of one person and crime all you want because liberty and origami stealth bomber paper planes require it.
Not to mention the idiot who is on SM telling a branch of government what to do or they’re stupid, lame, hate America, and his individual will should be considered policy.
Roberts ought to reread what he wrote. Then reread it another 100 times and see if he can find any correlation to their Oath, the responsibility owed to the people and what the founding fathers actually would NOT approve of and he’d still fuck it up.
Then he should reread what Judge Chutkan wrote, along with the appellate court concurred, as he berates them.
I’d like to know if DOGE has been ruled legal. I’d like to know if decisions made by Musk are enforceable under the influence of a heavy cocktails of drugs he’s admitted to.
I’d like to know why the OBBB has ANY cuts at all as the gutted government and programs should be well over asking for 930B from the turnip on one line item.
How do you have a bill with revenue from sources such as the tooth fairy that fortunately never needed calling?
But never forget….bananas can be made in the new Banana Republic we live in.
