Anybody who pretends that the US hasn't operated as an empire, there is even a book named "How To Hide An Empire" on it.

That insight ( the link ) of Glubb's was important.

Please glance at the history backing it, in that table, on that page..

I believe it is partly that the empire-rulers identity becomes sooo completely mis-matched from the actual composition of the empire, that it is an inevitable self-destruction, at that age of its evolution.

So... Trump has promised to carry out a coup if he doesn't win. A good coup would be indistinguishable from him just winning... Yet, people keep saying "vote harder." Like, yeah, this is all super important stuff and the more people vote the harder it will be for Trump to carry out the coup... But a lot of people have put in a lot of money to make this happen so he's going to have another coup attempt. This time it won't be a bunch of idiots, it will be Eric Prince and the Academi soliders who got deployed in Portland.

If you are in the US, you need to prepare to fight. If he wins, democracy is over. If he doesn't win, democracy is probably over too since he's already rigged the supreme court so he can steal the election and make it look legal. Police all over the country have already pledged allegiance to him. When you come out to protest they will run you over with SUVs and just open fire on you. They'll shoot at reporters to make sure no one can see what's happening, just like they did during the George Floyd rebellion. But this time they'll just kill people and claim they were violent.

You all need to be ready for the absolute worst. You also need to vote to make it harder, but voting will absolutely not be enough. You need to prepare.

Democracy was dead from the beginning, the ‘founding fathers’ were afraid of the masses and the structure of the government is a reflection of that. On top of that the dominance of political parties (which George Washington warned against) makes it essentially impossible to vote for someone who generally shares your interests which is what you’re supposed to be doing in a democracy.
