As an American, I feel uneasy about these uncertain times. The RNC has been taken over by Trump loyalists, and it's devolved into a cult of one personality. Actual policies no longer defining conservatism.

	Yeah, good question (@suitkees). I agree with you, but I don't have an answer. Edited by Lewian - March 16 2024 at 17:51

	Vote. Beyond that, American Republicans are traitors. There's no other rational conclusion--- not just the politicians, the registered Republicans, too, who continue to support a Fascist attempt at a criminal takeover of the U.S. They should be prosecuted and imprisoned or expelled from the country. Hey all American Right Wing conservatives out there: You think people don't see you for the sociopathic criminals you are ? We are coming for you. All of you.

	That is the headline of a rather thorough report/analysis in today's The Guardian about how extremist Republicans are trying to undermine democratic institutions and elections in Arizona, as just an example of a more widespread practice in the USA nowadays. But it could be coming from within too, when a government - the French, i.c. - is undermining democratic procedures by abusing an old constitutional article - the infamous article 49.3 - to sideline parliamentary vote, knowing they wouldn't have a majority and despite the fact that a majority of the population is against those measures pushed through without vote. This has been done 23 times in less than two years. Clearly, countries of "the West" don't need the be invaded anymore by aggressive other countries to see their democracies undermined and/or threatened. They're doing it from within. Where are we going? What can we do? Edited by suitkees - March 16 2024 at 13:42
