It's been a long, slow decline from the Republic Party of Lincoln the Liberator to the repulsive slagheap of Domwald the Despot, from the party which lambasted the corruption of Big Government to the party of gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement and prisons, from the party of small business to the party of Goldman Sachs, from the party which ended slavery to the party of an outright Fascist who swears fealty to Putinism's tinfoil Czarism. John Schindler, top notch intelligence expert and historian (check out his excellent Fall of the Double Eagle, an incisive look at the military implosion of the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1914, the disaster which triggered the horror and carnage of the 1914-1945 Thirty One Years War), delivers the goods: The Spy Revolt Against Donald Trump.
Full disclosure: I'm in political disagreement with Schindler on 95% of all political issues. But this is an emergency situation where that 5% matters. Either we fight for a Republic in which political disagreements are still possible, or we perish in an autocracy too horrible to contemplate.
It's either Amerimaidan, or Ameripocalypse.
Choose, America.
