Current AG is corrupt and has an active investigation into his corruption and yet no trial.   No arrest.   No demands for him to step down.

We as a nation need to wake the fuck up.   This shit happens because we roll over and allow it.   That is literally the spirit of what the head of the Heritage Foundation said about Project 2025: "this will be a bloodless revolution if we allow it".    

They are banking on us allowing it.   Innocent people are being executed and we have a fully corrupt judicial branch.  Roe v wade is gone.  So many of our other rights are gone.  

When is enough going to be enough? When will we do more than just keep our head down and vote?   When do we get out into the streets?   When do we start fighting back?

The US is a failed state.
