After Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his intention to help break a potential filibuster of the Republican spending bill, America’s fascist president, Donald Trump, took to Truth Social to praise his old friend: “Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing,” he wrote. “This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning.”

Schumer’s stance justifiably angered the Democratic base, as it gave away all leverage the anti-fascist coalition has for the foreseeable future to stop Trump’s illegal power grab. The minority leader defended himself from progressive criticism, saying he had the overwhelming support of his caucus, which I actually don’t doubt, despite the fact only nine other Democratic senators voted with him.

The last step in changing a democracy to an autocracy is to rewrite the national constitution to remove the last traces of democratic rule and officially place all power in the hands of the dictator. On March 11, the Ohio Senate General Government Committee held its second hearing on SJR 3, Senate Joint Resolution 3, which could do just that.

SJR 3 calls for the creation of a federal Constitutional Convention. The purpose of the convention would be to rewrite the US constitution. Article V of the constitution allows for the creation of such a convention, but it gives no parameters or limitations on its powers. Every aspect of the US Constitution would be on the chopping block, from the separation of powers, to the freedoms of speech and assembly, to the requirement that the president be a natural born citizen. Hello president Musk.

Donald Trump has initiated the destruction of the American democracy in breathtaking speed. In less that two months, the world has changed as America has changed from a Republic with the promise of justice, civil rights, and a government “by the people and for the people” to a budding fascist dictatorship. Now, authoritarian rule has landed squarely on the heads of all Americans so quickly that people have not been able to process the change.

Americans have been conditioned to believe that living under an authoritarian rule is worse than death, thus Russia and China need to be labeled as enemies, and citizens are expected to support wars against them. But the enemy has emerged from within.
