Edwin: I always get a lot out of your conversations, and really appreciate your style of presentation. Direct, insightful, and also reassuring. I'm thinking it's also sort of a midwestern thing?

Fascist Takeover: Taxation Without Representation

This is what independent journalism should look like https://bit.ly/4kCRkxy Yes there are daily news events that need to be covered but deep thought about what underlies our current national predicament is sorely required if WE the People are able to manage our way out of this historically created institutional hellscape that WE live in today

As intimated America is now engaged in a fascistic civil war created by the constitutional flaws of our institutions Judicial bandaids are not enough even though right now it is what is keeping the fascists from being completely successful But there needs to be some deep thinking by the DNC to make some major institutional demands to help restructure the country's guardrails and insist on taxation with representation This type of planning requires a long range strategy not just a 1y plan to win the next election but a 5, 10, and even a 20y plan as to how to rectify the current problems facing the country

The Solution: It's up to WE the People in the end as constitutionally mandated WE need to demand more of our elected federal officials because with slim majorities it leaves no conscious will to make radical changes WE are the ones to collectively demand the much needed structural changes cited But it appears the attempted fascist takeover has become the breaking point and possibly the beginning of the end ot taxation without representation

Thank you for this conversation, plus her is to wishing you both a happy Valentine’s Day weekend. Have fun perhaps we can get some rest.

These killings have devastated the state you live in Aaron and the state my mother who raised me was born in! I hope all is well with you and your family Aaron! I saw Minnesota, as child. Something is definitely wrong with Trump?
