This just popped up on my screen when I re-opened the computer. I don't know whether I sent it to you or not. So here it is.
This is from Facebook, and it's depressing. The end of our democracy. only read it if you are feeling resilient.

This is a long read posted by someone I follow
Please read it but be aware it could be triggering
*** Please read this ***
WARNING this could trigger many people (not my words but from a Friend that I trust )****
It truly brings me no joy to be sharing this today.
My heart is heavy, and when I think about how serious this all is, I'm torn between wanting to warn everybody, or wanting them to savour their peace.
Ultimately – it's your choice whether or not you want to read, but I'll warn you that this is likely going to trigger you.
Historically, empires tend to last about 250 years before they collapse.
The United States, founded in 1776, is now sitting at 248 years old.
They are right on schedule.
Every major empire has followed a pattern—a rise, a peak, and then a slow, inevitable decline into corruption, authoritarianism, and collapse.
The warning signs are always there, but people inside the empire never want to believe it's happening to them.
They cling to the illusion of invincibility, convinced that their system is too strong, their institutions too resilient, their democracy too stable.
But history doesn't care about American exceptionalism. Every empire believes it will last forever – until it doesn't.
And now, we are watching the final act play out in real time.
• Unchecked authoritarianism consolidating power.
• A ruling class hoarding wealth while the public suffers.
• The rise of fascism as a desperate grasp for control.
• Technology being weaponized to surveil and suppress.
• The erosion of democracy under the illusion of national security.
• A population too exhausted and distracted to fight back.
This is the cycle. This is how it happens.
And it's not some slow decline over generations – it's fast. Rome fell in a single lifetime. Under Hitler, Germany's democracy collapsed in 53 days.
The USA is on day 28 …
Last night, I was lying in bed, and this heaviness settled into my chest.
That kind of heavy feeling you can't shake, the kind that crawls under your skin, presses down on your chest, and makes your breath feel too shallow, your thoughts too loud.
Maybe it was the exhaustion of watching this unfold in real time, knowing exactly where it's leading … While simultaneously recognizing that there are plenty of people in denial, who want to call me crazy right now.
But Trump and Elon are playing in your faces.
"He who saves his Country does not violate any Law." is Trumps latest, most troubling tweet.
That's a dictator's manifesto.
That's an open declaration that he believes himself above the law. That whatever he does, no matter how illegal, no matter how corrupt, no matter how violent – if it's done under the justification of "saving the country," it isn't a crime.
I saw it. I absorbed it. And then I went about my day, because what else can you do?
But then came the flags.
Elon shared Trump's tweet and commented Fourteen flags. Posted at 11:14 a.m.
A time and a number that mean nothing if you're not paying attention.
And then I saw a tiktok that laid it out in front of me: the 14 words.
The most infamous white supremacist slogan in history. The one that says, "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
And suddenly, it just didn't feel abstract anymore.
Was the TikTok a reach? Or is this really a reich?
Suddenly, it feels like this is no longer creeping authoritarianism, or concerning trends, or historical echoes that we could debate over coffee.
Posting 14 flags at 11:14 AM is very likely what we call a "dog whistle" – because essentially only the people who know what it means can understand. It's direct, and yet laced with plausible deniability.
But for me, when you pair these things with his very obvious Nazi salute, we can't deny this anymore.
It's here.
It's real.
This is a white supremacist coup taking over the United States …
Trump is not just some lone rogue politician. This is not just about him. He is the figurehead of a hostile government takeover.
The people behind him – the billionaires, the Christian nationalists, the white supremacist networks, the ones in power who have been laying the groundwork for this moment – they are moving, and they are moving fast.
They've been planning this for a very long time, decades, and while we are scrambling to process it … they are already halfway done.
53 days. That's how long it took Hitler to dismantle Germany's democracy.
The USA is on day 28. They are potentially halfway there.
This is what fascism looks like in real time.
It doesn't come with a flashing red warning sign. It doesn't arrive with a singular, clear moment where everyone collectively realizes, this is it … No … it inches forward, day by day, executive order by executive order, while people tell themselves it can't be happening. Well, it is! Now!
And then there's Elon Musk.
Musk, who has positioned himself as the great "free speech warrior" while turning X into a fascist propaganda machine.
Musk, who is now seeking access to the IRS's entire system – which means access to every taxpayer's private information.
Why? Because data is power. And he is trying to build the ultimate AI-driven surveillance state.
He is consolidating control over the digital infrastructure of American lives while selling people on the illusion that he's some kind of savior.
But he's not.
He's the false prophet.
In biblical terms, the Antichrist is the figure who seizes power, claiming to be the savior while leading people into destruction.
The false prophet is the one who enables it, who controls the narrative, who deceives the masses into following blindly.
I personally believe the book of Revelation speaks to the end of an era, not necessarily the end of the world ... But regardless of how literally you take that book, it's pretty undeniable at this point …
Trump is likened to the Antichrist.
Musk the false prophet.
And together, they are building the surveillance state of a white supremacist dictatorship.
Canadians need to wake up.
Not tomorrow. Not in a week. Not when it's already infected our country, and we're looking back, wondering where we went wrong like the USA …
Now.
Because this is not just about politics anymore.
Canada is a clear target for these people. They want our minerals. They want our water …
And while I don't want to fear-monger, and I don't want anybody thinking that a boots-on-the-ground war will actually happen just yet, or at all – Canadians also need to realize that this is not about a policy disagreement, a trade war or another "bad president."
This is about the end of democracy in the United States.
And I need you to understand that this is NOT a drill.
They are telling us exactly what they are doing.
They are not hiding it. The flags, the numbers, the '47 on the caps Gretzky gave to the winning team, the words, the actions – they are signaling it right in front of us.
