The Bureaucratic Dictatorship
TL Davis

The United States is in a much worse place than it was thought to be. The election of Donald Trump signified a desire to end a lot of abuses of the government against the people. They did it to Trump and had no problem doing it to anti-abortion protesters or school board attendees when they disagreed with the sexualization of their children. 

It’s all so incredibly evil and while the people thought electing Trump would solve a lot of those problems, the truth is, voting doesn’t solve problems. Trump, for his part, can only play the small part of a disruptor. The presidency isn’t a dictatorship, if it were, Trump would get his way in everything, but it’s only a dictatorship when the bureaucratic dictatorship agrees with the president. Now, though, it has only one play and that is to disrupt and delay anything Trump could do. They’re playing the long game and we need to as well.

My encouragement for people to vote had a lot more to do with showing the will of the people to other people; to discard the belief that almost everyone agreed with the communist hordes in government. That’s all. For my political purposes, it would have been better had Kamala been elected, then, we’d know the enemy to be fought. 

Now, though, with Trump being elected and a couple of assassination attempts failed, the bureaucratic dictatorship of communists is gearing up to block and deny the will of the people and the people need to take this seriously. It’s never been about Trump, for me, it’s about destroying the bureaucratic dictatorship we have been living under since FDR and Trump is the best candidate to help in that direction, having suffered under it himself. 

There is still no one coming to save us, we still have to do this on our own. With Thune as the majority leader in the Senate, getting rid of McConnell only multiplied the problems. McConnell will be in charge of the Rules Committee and Collins has been given the chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee. They’ll use these posts to thwart the will of the people. I don’t say Trump, because Trump is, and always has been an expression of the people. We saw it when he spoke of our concerns against 17 other Republicans and they were all swept away, not because of Trump, but because the people didn’t want another George Bush. They wanted real action. From the very beginning the bureaucratic dictatorship rallied to besmirch him, investigate him, impeach him and he and his administration toiled under that sort of all-out assault the whole first term. 

Trump can’t do a lot without the Senate backing his initiatives and more than half of the representatives on his side, and they are not. In Republicans, yes, in America First, no. Whatever Trump might or might not do is somewhat irrelevant, because what the government is very good at, perhaps the only thing, is thwarting the will of the people. If the people give them Trump, they’ll do everything possible to negate that option. This was evident in North Carolina and Florida. It’s the people they hate and Trump is just a symbol of them. 

Combine that with Trump’s habitual poor decision-making when it comes to appointments, one is forced to find the silver linings in almost everything he does. The major efforts that concern me, because I’m not looking for a revolution from the Trump Administration, is taking on the massive, bloated government agencies that use taxpayer funds to work against the people’s will and some rectification of the Justice Department. 

Everyone wants everything done for them, but that’s not how it works. Some things the president can do, but most of this still has to be done at the ground level. The will of the people has to be demanded, not wished for or begged for. The groundswell of support for Trump was a groundswell of a demand for justice, for the J6ers, the elderly women imprisoned for praying, for the parents at school boards, Tina Peters. It was signifying support of what Musk would do to the bureaucratic dictatorship, if he will, if he can. There’s some help in that arena from the Supreme Court ruling on the Chevron deference case. 

But these things are just aids, they’re not the answers. The people are the answer, if they knew how to exert their power more effectively. It needs to start with getting rid of RINOs in the Senate, primarying McConnell, Thune, Cornyn (by the way, Ken Paxton, current AG in Texas, has a great opportunity to knock Cornyn out in 2026). 

The answer lies in nearly a decade of restructuring, so the question is not whether Trump will do what we want, but who will follow him and provide the next wave of measures we demand?

The point is, the people can build a stronger House and Senate, if they cease to think of themselves as supporters and start becoming activists. The 2024 election was not about Trump, it was about the sudden realization of what happens when the people do not take an affirmative role in their own situation. In 2024, that meant electing Trump, but there is no one on the horizon, yet, that personifies the will of the people more than Trump. 

Being America First has to mean something. It has to be the demand, in everything. Enough of sending tax dollars out to support useless wars only to have that money sent back to bolster un-American candidates that are only filling their own pockets and the pockets of their lobbyists. The 2024 election showed how the middle can be brought around to the right’s point of view, because it’s the logical point of view. 

Now, these are the dark days of the Uniparty. A period in America that can be overcome, but not without effort or a few failures along the way. There’s a dirty, filthy pile of garbage in Washington, DC that needs to be cleaned out, but don’t be fooled into thinking that any one person, or one party can achieve that. There are all sorts of sappers in those woods. 

If, by some miracle, the world is not vaporized while the Joint Chiefs of Staff seem to be running foreign policy on their own, we still have a long row to hoe. No one has lessened their dedication to the destruction of the United States. Right now, the airwaves are filled with Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin trying to make enforcing laws into weaponizing the Justice Department. It’s all cover for their comrades who actually did weaponize the Justice Department and came after parents and Trump. That’s the first fight we have, to expose their treasonous acts at the Justice Department and demand that justice for those acts be exacted. You do that by continuing to point them out on social media, which has become the new media. Numbers matter. 

This is not Republicans v Democrats, this is the people v the bureaucratic dictatorship, who take cover under communist Democrats and RINOs.
