re: #22 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce

As best as I can tell, we’re headed towards becoming a one-party fascist theocratic state after 2024, which means we’ll be annexing the Sudetenland Mexico as soon as possible.

We had plenty of filibusters who tried, and one who succeeded in overthrowing Nicaragua’s government, installing himself as dictator, and re-implementing slavery.

He was ousted two years later by a coalition of Central American nations.

He was evacuated by the US Navy when he was ousted from power. He went back and tried again but was captured by the United Kingdom, turned over to Honduras, and executed (to great howls of American conservative slavers).
