Your assessment is correct and summarizes the danger we face now.

What do I think we can do? I feel that we’ve fallen through the ice and keep struggling with the REALITY which
Seems to indicate that we have a fascist criminal syndicate actively destroying the hard ice ( our security and safety ) to kill democracy .

I think dramatic action needs to be taken. But there needs to have been planning in place with competent and trusted people able to lead all of us to root out the traitors.

Thanks for your insight. This is beyond madness, I worry for all the children round the world.
