Many people were still in shock after the takeover. There were fears and concerns, but only the most paranoid could imagine such a horrendous outcome, after-all, it was the end of the United States as a Constitutional government.

Some said that everything that Trump had been doing, especially since impeachment looked inevitable, involved a series of machinations that would lead to a national state of emergency. I can't bear to recount the events again, it's just too powerful and emotional and fresh, especially with the stressful climate of the dictatorship we live in now. In retrospect, we realize that, of course, Trump would do what he has done, given the chance. He would seize the powers of that emergency to finish off what appears to have been his plan all along. It is clear as squeegeed glass that he created the emergency in a series of steps that has led to this.

Well, it is time to quit writing for now. The Trump Patrols are making the rounds. I can hear the sound of the jackboots slamming against the concrete. That terrible sound is the sound of New America, the hard, synchronized slap of soles marching down the street, day and night. The soles that repeatedly stomp on human faces all over the country and there is no way out now, Commander Trump has assured that tyranny is the rule of law. We lost it all. They are holding the tribunals and the firing squads should be assembling soon.
