Send us Fan MailWhat’s on my Mind:  The Fall of Democracy “A functioning, robust democracy requires a healthy, educated, participatory followership, and an educated, morally grounded leadership.” - Chinua Achebe  We had neither an educated electorate nor a moral leadership in Nov of 2024 and because of that democracy in American dies on January 20th, 2025. | I know I said that I was not going to produce an episode of the podcast this week, but I changed my mind, there is too much false information being spread to let it go. I want to start by saying “Democracy is Dead” the majority of the voters in America decided to end the so-called “American Experiment” and many sat on the sidelines and watched it die.  So, all the people, Harris, Biden, Obama, etc. that are saying we should “accept” the outcome and try to win in the future are contradicting themselves, they said that Trump was an “existential” (of, relating to, or affirming existence) threat to democracy and they were right. If a Trump win was an existential threat to democracy, since he did in fact win, that means that democracy no longer exists. Our best idea about what is to come is to look at Project 2025, officially titled, “The Conservative Mandate for Leadership”, in our episode today I will review all 5-Sections and 30 Chapters of Project 2025 and show you want to expect, who will be harmed and how to fight back and not a single suggestion on fighting back will be based on participation in the political process, we do not fucking have one anymore, don’t delude yourselves, democracy is dead and we need to operate within the context of understanding that.Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...
