“Don’t want to discuss it
Report thisI think its time for a change
You may get disgusted
And think I’m strange
In that case I’ll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst and what is best”

So, now, do you start to see just where your democracy has gone. Poof, in 8 short years, gone. And you won’t get it back, guaranteed. Never, in my 63 years, have I heard or seen this in Amerika. It’s far worse than ‘68; no comparison.

Just realized i called Mr Kouddous by his father’s first name. My apologies.
A lot of people outside the US are disturbed by these flourishes of authoritarian behaviour in a so-called modern democracy.
That’s the trick isn’t it? To keep up the appearance of democracy in an authoritarian state?
Prove you are a democracy, USA. You are the most powerful country of all: if you can’t keep it straight the whole world is profoundly affected.
And we are watching you closely.
