Maggie Maybe<p>The Banksters are freaking out.</p><p>Every day this week I’ve received an email from Citibank encouraging me to take a cash advance on the credit cards I have with them that I don’t use because the interest rate is ridiculous. </p><p>I keep the credit cards I don’t use frozen because Discover card has shown me that if someone is able to get my credit card numbers and use them I will have to pay, so I will not fuck around and find out.</p><p>And instead of silently allowing me to use this security feature that they’ve advertised to me to protect myself with I get emails once a week reminding me that I have frozen my cards and telling me that if I’ve lost it I should go ahead and get a new card number so I can unfreeze that card.</p><p>NO THANK YOU SKANKS, NOT TODAY CAPITALISM, YOU WILL NOT GET ME TODAY!!</p><p>This recession is going to be so interesting. During the last recession credit cards were canceling peoples credit lines because they were afraid they would use them and then not pay, but during this recession they’re trying to talk us into using credit lines we won’t be able to pay for?</p><p>This is going to be so interesting. It makes me think they think the <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bankruptcy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bankruptcy</span></a> laws will be changing. Why else would they want my disabled ass to take loans on these cards? They know my income.

I was in my mid 30s. I didn’t intend to but the credit card I was using at the time had been at 4% for years and I cranked that balance right up. Then they decided they wanted to change the floor rate because Prime wasn’t working out for them And if I didn’t like that I could close my card and keep it at Prime. Unfortunately I needed that card and once the 6% hit and it revolved a couple times I couldn’t keep up with the minimum payments anymore.</p><p>I recommend <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bankruptcy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bankruptcy</span></a> if people are drowning in debt, especially if you don’t have stuff they would make you sell to satisfy the creditors. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself, it was discharged in December 09, I had new credit cards by this summer, and before it had been a year my credit score was better than it was before the discharge.</p><p>If I had tried to pay it off it would’ve taken forever and any hits for late payments or whatever would have stayed on my credit report for seven years from the date of last payment, the bankruptcy wiped all of that away. If you have late payments on a credit line once it’s discharged those vanish. It was glorious.</p><p>(I am not an attorney and it’s quite possible bankruptcy has changed since 2009, but every time someone in my life is drowning in debt I talk about this. Bankruptcy is not shameful it’s literally part of our constitution/Bill of Rights in the US)</p>

In that moment, America became a little less free — and a lot more like the nightmare <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VladimirPutin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VladimirPutin</span></a> always hoped we’d become.</p><p>"The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan last Friday without even having a legal arrest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/warrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warrant</span></a>; this is as outrageous and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> illegal as an administration can get.</p><p>"And <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PamBondi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PamBondi</span></a>’s performance Friday — after her federal agents swarm-raided this county judge — wasn’t staged for the general public.</p><p>"The real audience was a very small, select group: America’s judges.</p><p>"Their message is very simple: 'P--- us off, judges, and you could end up in prison, too.'</p><p>"Trump has already pacified the Article I branch of government — Congress — and now he’s in the process of pacifying the Article III branch, the Judiciary.</p><p>"There are only 3 branches to our government: cowing both Congress and the nation’s Judiciary will leave only the president in charge of the entire country under all circumstances in all ways.</p><p>"Nothing and nobody else will be able to stop him, short of a military coup (and he’s already decapitated the senior leadership of the military) or unending demonstrations in the streets (demonstrators who may soon face live ammunition).</p><p>"That is called dictatorship. Real dictatorship. Vladimir Putin-style dictatorship where you are punished for the smallest deviation from orthodoxy and can find yourself in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> or sued into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bankruptcy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bankruptcy</span></a> if you dare speak out in public.</p><p>"It appears more and more every day that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Putin</span></a> is Trump’s mentor, if not his handler. Trump is doing everything he can, with help from a South African billionaire, to destroy the historic American infrastructure (which has been an example for the world for 250 years) and turn us into the newest member of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dictators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dictators</span></a> club, joining Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Hungary, North Korea, and the rest of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascist</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarian</span></a> world.</p><p>"To get there, now that they’ve pacified every single Republican member of Congress (most recently, Don Bacon criticized Trump’s schizophrenic tariffs; a day later he started talking about retiring), they only have to seize control of the Judiciary, and then nothing except We The People will stand in their way.</p><p>"Nothing. Will. Stand. In. Trump’s. Way. Except We The People. And he knows it.</p><p>"Look at the striking parallels between Putin’s strategies and Trump’s actions:</p><p>"From installing Trump’s loyalists in the military and the federal police agencies of the Department of Justice and FBI, to his open threats against freedom of the press, to the GOP’s efforts to rig elections and purge voters, Trump’s subversion of US democracy looks eerily familiar.</p><p>"He’s taking pages directly from the autocrat’s handbook.</p><p>"Trump has openly quoted and praised autocrats like Putin and Hungarian strongman <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ViktorOrb%C3%A1n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ViktorOrbán</span></a>, who has presented his leadership in speeches to the GOP and CPAC as a model of an '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/illiberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>illiberal</span></a>' state.</p><p>"Trump’s not hiding his admiration for dictators; he’s flaunting it. And now he’s putting the final stages of their script into action.</p><p>"Trump’s movement toward authoritarianism follows 'a known playbook. It’s unfolded in many other countries,' as journalist Anne Applebaum notes. 'These are democratically elected leaders who characterize themselves or describe themselves as deserving of no opposition. So I am the true Hungarian, or I am the only real American.'</p><p>"In a mere matter of weeks into his presidency, Applebaum says, Trump and his allies “have managed to push America into that space somewhere between (no longer) democracy and full-scale autocracy.”</p><p>"The speed is shocking, but it shouldn’t be surprising. It only took <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hitler</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/53Days" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>53Days</span></a> to completely end democracy in Germany.
