    No, it started with Reagan

    No, it started with Nixon

    No, it started with Prescott Bush

    All of history is built on what came before. I think if we really want to get to the root of America’s collapse, we have to look way back. Doing so, I can only conclude that the Agricultural Revolution was a mistake.

      Death by a thousand cuts. No single event led to the Nazis seizing power, no single even led to the Conservatives enacting their fascist regime in the US. Yeah, some steps were bigger than others, the likes of Reagan, W, and Trump shoving things faster and further right than others, but none of them singlehandedly achieved the coup d’etat. Trump benefitted from all the groundwork laid before along with the hard work of the likes of McConnell that did everything they could to prevent democracy from working.
