WAR, NOT POLITICS

This Is Not Politics. This Is War.

Let’s stop calling it politics.
Let’s stop pretending this is another election cycle, another partisan dispute, another red-versus-blue contest with campaign ads and polite disagreements.

This is not politics. This is war.

Not a war with bullets, but a war of truth versus lies.
A war of freedom versus submission.
A war of the Constitution versus the cult.
A war between We the People and the would-be king.

We are no longer debating policy, tax rates, or school budgets. We are fighting for the right to exist as a free people under a democratic charter. That charter, our Constitution, is being burned in plain sight. Its protections are being shredded, its principles mocked, and its balance of power erased.

Trump and his followers have declared it. They no longer pretend to believe in democracy. They no longer feel the need to couch their ambitions. Through Project 2025, they have announced their goal: to erase our republic and replace it with an authoritarian regime, with Trump as its ruler and a coalition of billionaires, religious extremists, and enablers to keep him there.

This is not an exaggeration. This is not a metaphor.
This is real. And it is happening right now.

So no, this is not politics. This is a fight.
And in this fight, there is no middle ground.

You are either with the Constitution or against it.
You are either with democracy or against it.
You are either a citizen or a subject.

And if you are with the Constitution. If you still believe in the Declaration of Independence, in equality before the law, in government by consent of the governed, then you must fight.

Fight not with weapons, but with unyielding will.
Fight in courts, classrooms, boardrooms, statehouses, and your community.
Fight at the ballot box, on the airwaves, in print, and online.
Fight by organizing, protesting, educating, exposing, and voting like your life depends on it—because it does.

There is no normal to return to. There is no neutrality to retreat to.
Trump and his movement have made that impossible.

This is us vs. them, not by choice, but by necessity.
Us: the sovereign citizens of a free republic.
Them: the loyalists to a king who never deserved a crown.

This country was born in rebellion against a monarch. We declared our independence in writing, in blood, and in principle. We said no to tyranny once, and now we must repeat it, with the same urgency, clarity, and unity.

Because if we fail to fight truly, there will be no second chance.

This is not politics. This is history.

Which side are you on?
