| As POTUS, Trump enriched himself and other Billionaires. It was USA as ATM. |
In my late 70s government class, I made a presentation on fascism through a mock news report imagining a dystopian U.S. It was a chilling project, and my teacher's confident assertion that America could never become a dictatorship stayed with me. Looking back, the exercise feels eerily prescient, leaving me with a sense of uneasy uncertainty about the future as the election cycle of 2024 looms.

My mock news report envisioning the U.S. as a dictatorship sparked a discussion with my teacher who, at the time, firmly believed America would never fall into such a system. Time will tell, I suppose.
But hopefully news like that below will impact voters to turn away from Fear Politics:
Middle-class became the richest ever under Biden, even adjusted for inflation. Real hourly wages are about $1/hour higher than 2019; we have about $1,000 per worker more purchasing power now. pic.twitter.com/rqxv124msB
