That isn't a question we have to wonder about because we are living it. And while I'm familiar with Godwin's law, the types of stories breaking in the past week point to the fact that Trump is working on holding onto power at any cost. Natural born citizens are having passport applications denied because that belong to a certain scapegoated minority group. A paramilitary law enforcement agency operates above the law General lawlessness is tolerated as long as it promotes the goals of the rising regime. The formal "opposition" is unwilling to accept the scope of the emergency. A cult of personality continues growing around a leader who demands that followers first loyalty is to him and not the country.

My theory is that they wanted to endorse Carper so they cobbled something together. How else can you explain this confused endorsement? The paper claims that we need a fighter to take on Trump, and that fighter is... Tom Carper? Really? A man, they point out, whose key strength is his eagerness to compromise and collaborate with Republicans. A man whose obsequious collaboration with Republicans set the stage for the situation we are in now? What? Seriously. WTF News Journal editorial board?

This is it...the $10.00 donation you make today will have a big impact.   Help New Castle County materially improve by voting out Bill "No Show" Powers (a guy almost 100% funded by developers) and voting in Dave Carter in the upcoming primary. Give right now>> Donate to Dave I know we can all spare $10.00 to help get Dave's message out in the home stretch. The council has a direct impact on your quality of life and yet, the county council primaries don't get much love around here and I need us to fix that so I'm going to be hounding everyone to contribute to Dave Carter over the next three days. For every $10.00 donation mentioned in the comments I'll match it 1 to 1 up to $100.00

Kerri Harris is speaking to a group at the Bellefonte Cafe. 50 voters off the street and on the porch. The candidate has taken 90 minutes of questions. At 7:30…

That's the headline we should be reading in a week or so. Dennis Williams makes a very solid case for why McGuiness needs to drop. Ed Note: This first ran…

GOP dog whistles are not dog whistles because they can be heard very clearly by everyone. "Don't monkey this up"... "Don't vote for the nigger." What's the difference? Let's face it. Racist motherfuckers like Ken Simpler are running the GOP now and the nice polite Republicans don't give a fuck, because they've been winning. That changes this November.

This mid-term election will provide moderate Democrats an opportunity to step up and hold their nose while they vote for a candidate more "liberal" than their dream candidate. Don't worry moderate & centrist Dems - you can do it. What choice do you have? Are you really going to vote for a Republican? Of course not. Will you abstain and thereby throw your vote to the Republican? C'mon. Be practical. Don't be a purist. Don't apply your narrow litmus tests. Don't be a sore loser. We agree more than we disagree. You can do this. Trust me, I've been there.

One primary candidate wanted to fight Republicans by recruiting centrists and moderates, one wants to increase turnout among Democrats. Guess who won?

As we've documented here New Castle County has a real chance to greatly improve it council by voting out Bill "No Show" Powers (a guy almost 100% funded by developers)…

I'm old enough to remember the mockery when President GHW Bush was photographed looking baffled by the then-newfangled grocery store laser scanners. That sprang to mind this morning after Trump…
