In the most recent census of 2020, the population of the United States was 331,449,281 people.

Since the inauguration of Trump on January 20th, the country has been experiencing the threat or actual loss of retirement savings, personal identification, personal safety, well-being and security, jobs, education, the USPS, the VA, a healthy economy, health and healthcare, a healthy environment, human rights, diversity, national security, our republic of democratic government and the constitution, the potential for a crypto apocalypse, general instability. And this is just a partial list of the disastrous actions, executive orders, and policies that the Trump administration has issued and which continue to come from Trump. Every day he brings us another or several new horrors and potential disasters. The strong economy that the Biden administration left us with as of January 20, 2025 has been maimed, debilitated, and made vulnerable. The familiar corruption, cronyism, deal-making and pay-to-play system of Trump has reappeared but in a much more vile and malicious form this time. The retribution, threats, intimidation tactics have come back and this time are endorsed and reinforced by Trump’s cabinet picks and his accomplices, the entire republican party. Inflation has come roaring back. The stock market has tanked. Trump has sadistically abandoned Ukraine and betrayed our long-standing allies to curry favor with our enemy, Putin. Trump has filled his cabinet and surrounded himself with a host of advisors with very likely certifiably mentally ill individuals. Mental illness almost seems to be a requirement to work in the Trump administration.

The group that is responsible for doing all of this to all of us is a minuscule number of people compared to the 331,449,281 people in the population. And they are easily named: Trump, Vance, Musk, Trump’s cabinet and inner circle of advisors, 218 house republicans, and 53 republican senators. It is this president and his vice president, the 15 member cabinet, and the (approx.) couple dozen close personal advisors to Trump, this group of approximately 310 people (out of 331,449,281 people) who are doing all of this serious damage to all the rest of us. Republican elected officials at the state level who fall into lockstep with them also add to the still small sliver of the population that is burdening the entire population with this injurious behavior. State level republicans add a significant number to this small number relative to the population as a whole. But altogether, the 310 plus the group of state elected republicans working in lockstep are, compared to the population as a whole, a tiny sliver of the entire population but are hugely disproportionately destructive. It is this small group that is inflicting this injury on the rest of us.

This is a small enough group that it could easily be accommodated in a small for profit maximum security prison.

The United States came into existence as a sovereign nation when it threw off the yoke of George III of England. The country rejected being ruled by a king and his aristocracy. Americans have always taken pride in this act of self actualization that led it to becoming a free and independent sovereign nation. Trump, his oligarch cronies, his mentally ill cabinet and advisors, and the entire republican party, whether they individually are russian assets, white christian nationalists, insurrectionists, and/or sadists and haters want the American people to forget about their proud origin of throwing off a despotic king and their subsequent formation of a constitutional democracy. They are attempting to rewrite history and come out of it as victors and the new king and aristocracy, or in this case, the new American dictator and his kleptocratic oligarchy. I do not think he/they will succeed. The American people are waking up to this reality and, I believe, are slowly coming to their senses about it and will find a way to quash this affliction and will, eventually, come out stronger for it.

My question is, will it take another revolution to get there?
