What happened to a different republic that slid into autocracy:

Essentially, Octavian obtained multiple roles of the Roman Republic (consul, tribune of the plebs, censor, pontifex maximus, etc.). The Roman Senate became a rubber-stamping body.

"[Octavian worked] through established Republican forms to consolidate his power."

"Each time Russia attempts to destroy our lives, it is crucial to respond collectively and decisively at the international level to reduce and block the potential for terror. Ukraine needs strength to achieve this.
...
Air defense, long-range capabilities, weapons packages, and sanctions against the aggressorโ€”these are the actions required, not just words."

Good morning.

I have to work but I want to at least say hello.

Three different topics came to mind this morning and I began writing a poem in the early hours but I am not satisfied with the one i started so will share later.

Remember that today our Governor is meeting with supporters at four.. I think itโ€™s worth listening to.

"The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. ... it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices."

@Museek We'll have an election in Canada in 2025 and it looks likely the Conservatives will defeat the Liberals. So, we might be in a similar situation here too, although no one is quite like Trump and his enablers.

I have thought that, if the Republicans take the House, at least there is the Senate Filibuster. But they could remove that, I suppose.
