Lorraine, I think many never believed they would move this fast—yet stepping back a bit, it’s clear: the groundwork was all laid in the first term. They had already tried to rig that election. They failed, which is why the noise in 2020 was so deafening. And in hindsight, that noise gave them an edge—cover to quietly install systems, sniffers, whatever they needed to analyse and prepare the strike we are now seeing unfold.
This was no chaotic stumble into tyranny. It was meticulously planned. They knew exactly whom to target, bribe, bully—how to create the fastest, deepest impact. And they are banking on fear to keep that machinery running.
Yet once you see through the smoke, once you understand how they seize and cling to power, they lose their grip on you. Not necessarily on the many still caught in it—hence the importance of exactly what you are doing here: educating, explaining, refusing the frame they try to impose.
Why else do you think they go after universities, schools, curricula? Because education is power. Knowledge is power. The ability to think critically, to analyse—is power.
So I am grateful for voices like yours. Let’s keep helping others see what they are doing. It is one of the strongest forms of peaceful resistance we have.
Thank you for the very well informed perspective as always WLP. They've been working on this since Nixon and they'll never stop. That's why we can never stop either, all gas no brakes!
Lovely Lorraine, in order for me not to fry my brain into a stupor of pure repulsiveness about all of this horrendous human behavior of the lowest denominator, where is the light in this?? Other than the fires?...YOU!
Thank you for this info! Jesus f'ing christ on a cracker, when this shit is behind us—and make no mistake, it will be—these nazi assfucks are going to regret being on the wrong side of the American people, who don't take kindly to this shit! 😡👿😾
Not sure if you've seen TACO Belle - I wish I could upload images in replies on substack.
I'll tag you on bluesky.
Yes! It's hilarious. But you'd be shocked, he's hired someone to actively scrub the internet for any memes. What a pathetic little ogre.
Here's the only one I was able to find.

You are a warrior!
Always!💪🏻🫶🏻

I agree they will try again and again. Grateful you don't stop.

Be careful please...love LA
Oh my goodness, thank you for saying that Laura. Back at you!
Unless I can provide perspective for a fighting chance, there's no point. I don't do doomsday. Never concede in advance.💪🏻💙
He is a very tiny man with a very tiny brain!
That's a fact, Doreen. 🥰
Absolutely agree & with you!
Always great to see you here Dorian, thanks for all your contributions even if I'm not always able to reply. 💙
California is being treated as an enemy nation.
Exactly.
