What Dictators Fear

The Truth, Nonviolent Resistance, 3.5% Rule

History shows that Dictators fear the truth coming forward about them, non-violent resistance by the masses, and the 3.5% Rule.

The Good News

We The People Have The Power to Demand And Save Our Freedoms and Democracy.

I’m a Live and Let Live and Be About My Own Business kind of gal. I don’t think of myself as a political party. Many of my friends are Republicans, many are Democrats, and some are Independents.

The Truth vs. Conspiracies And “Alternative” Facts

Since the first Trump Presidency and the current one, it has been challenging to understand how easily his supporters believed him instead of listening to their trusted friends and family members.

So, as writers do, I researched why they felt a strong connection with Donald Trump and wrote about the reasons in my previous post, Betrayal Of America.

For those of us who base our political decisions on credible information instead of emotions and conspiracy theories, we knew exactly who Donald Trump was before he was even elected the first time.

All we asked was that our friends and family research the opposing view and then decide what was true or just a bunch of conspiracy theories and alternative facts. 🧐

Following the disrespectful way that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance recently treated Ukraine’s President Zelensky, the United States’ standing in the world changed drastically. Trump and Vance signaled that our country no longer stands with the Free World but with the Dictators of the World!

This is the Presidential Oath Donald Trump took: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

In less than two months, the truth of President Donald Trump is finally in full view. Republican, Democratic, and Independent voters are now joining forces because of the deception, betrayal, and constant abuse of the Oath he took as President of the United States.
