The direction in which the U.S. is heading is toward a true autocracy, like in Russia, with all the coercive mechanisms that go along with it.
This is the logical consequence of the American people allowing the most serious crimes to go unpunished.
It is quite obvious that the oligarchs who have ruled the country for decades have now decided that the illusion of democracy - which they had maintained until now with this absurd two-party system - is no longer necessary, since they will never be held accountable for their crimes anyway.
Even in their last, rather pathetic coup attempt, everyone involved got off scot-free, even the foot soldiers. This time, however, the regime has established ICE, a secret police force with a budget equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country - by U.S. standards: ICE’s budget exceeds that of all U.S. federal agencies, including the CIA and FBI, etc. combined. Isn’t it quite obvious why an “agency” like this would ever need such an astronomical budget?
