From a beacon of democracy to authoritarian rule : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 10/11/2025

There is a growing consensus among many notable political scientists and historians that America is at a perilous crossroads: Trump has chosen the road that leads to disastrous authoritarianism.

This poor clown is off his Democrat head! What a joke!; a twisted perverted excuse for humanity.

And herein is a Democrat preaching morality; they don’t believe in it!

And not a mention of Mendami. I wonder aloud, why not: The Godless fools don't believe in God either, (particularly the Christian version), unless of course, that God is Allah, the one true god of the Democrats love children, the genocidal Palestinian maniacs; Democrats believe in that one wholeheartedly: Their brothers in Australia, march over the harbour bridge for it, waving the image of their high priest, the Ayatollah Khamenei.

We desperately need a genocide of trampling on Democrats by Trump supporters, before we’re all lost to the wolves of the ME.

'tis an ill wind which blows no good.
Surely, some good will come out of all this?
America needed a change, and they got one.
That change has demonstrated the extreme 'wrongness' which can be achieved by one person.
I am sure they are learning from it.
Which is the good part.
And their legal system is steadfast.
Also, there are many good men who will stand up when the time is right.
Additionally, I cannot see Mr Trump having a third term in office.
Those who wrote their constitution anticipated someone like Mr Trump.
So it is a rather severe bump in the road for them, but a smoother road is ahead.

Democracy downward spiral.
Plato's Republic says what comes after democracy is tyranny and a dictator.
That's what you're due for.

America stands for 'overthrowing other governments'
Now all the other governments are fed up with you, and formed their own gang.
They don't need anything you produce, they can get it elsewhere.
U.S. manufacturing and industry is gone, thank your own capitalist greed for sending the jobs to China.
They don't want anything to do with your financial system.
They are dedollarising and selling off bonds, and you won't be able to pay your debt obligations without selling bonds (if you can find buyers) and running the money printer.
Your US weapons are all outdated and can be overcome with more modern systems, you don't even have hypersonic weapons, even the Houthi do.
You military is not fit for a land war, your shipbuilding can't match your adversaries, and your carrier fleets will last about 24 hours and maybe 48 if in port if you start a hot war, and if you push too hard 6 billion people will die in a nuclear war between great powers.

You can go down fighting if you want but don't drag the rest of us into it.
The best outcome would be a US civil war and then your empire fades into the sunset, while the world moves on without you.
Better than a world war where everyone else has to pay because you can't stand to lose.

Britain and the EU can go as well for all I care.
You are all a bunch of warmongers screwing your own people over.

All you can do is threaten everyone with sanctions, but even that's not going to plan, countries are saying 'Stuff you well go our own way thanks'.

Your two parties and their constituents are too polarised to ever agree on anything other than enrich themselves and be beholden to donors and lobbyists.
Your democracy is rotten to the core.
If your government cared for the people there wouldn't be homeless everywhere, and you wouldn't be spending the money you do on foreign wars to bolster military contracts and jobs in every state.

And the reason you have uprisings in cities is because your country is starting to eat itself.
