The State of American Democracy
- America is becoming a fascist, theocratic, apartheid state due to the Republican Party and enabled by the media and Democrats.
- The media needs to be pro-democracy and the Democrats need to stop pulling punches and be blunt about the situation.

- The current court is corrupt and anti-democratic, representing a minority of the American people and pushing a political agenda.
