The demise of democracy in the United States

Watching what is happening in my country is truly alarming.  Anytime a president overrides state, city and county government to send in unknown jackboots to snatch people off the streets is really scary.  They are not identified.  They wear Army fatigues with a generic "police" patch, no name tags with their faces covered and driving unmarked cars.  This is tactics that Hitler used against the Jews.  It is tactics that were used in Argentina during the cruel dictator years. Over 30,000 people were disappeared and killed.  And this is what will happen here if Trump is not stopped.  He has turned the justice department into his own personal police force.  He tried with the military and the Pentagon pushed back.  And these agents, whatever agency they are with, have the sworn duty to refuse illegal orders and they are not doing so.  That is the scary part.  Trump is testing the waters to stage a coup and take over the country and appoint himself dictator and the republicans are just letting him do it.  Mitch McConnell could have long ago stopped him.  McConnell, I think, is on the payroll of China.  Think about it.  McConnell's wife's family owns a huge shipping company and their ships are built in China with funding from the Chinese government.  And his wife is secretary of transportation.  And now Trump is sending thugs into cities to subdue citizens and ignoring the local government.  It may come down to the local police fighting the federal agents to protect local citizens.  If that happens, I dearly hope the states join together and use the full power of their law enforcement agencies to put a stop to this. And I'm taking up voovoo and sticking pins in Trump, Pence, and McConnell.  It might help and it can't hurt.  I am really scared for my country right now.  Those warning of a government take over and stockpiling guns may, God forbid, be proven right.
