Mike: After finishing your Substack article “The Plot Against America”, my husband and I began to consider all the conversations we were reading/listening to and asked ourselves what you have also asked: “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT?!”
Your article shifted our perception of what is happening to our government agencies today. As you stated: “DOGE is not about efficiency. It is about erasure. Democracy is being deleted in slow motion, replaced by proprietary technology and AI models. It is a coup, executed not with guns, but with backend migrations and database wipes.” It took the wind out of our sails—fighting for democratic reform now seems pointless. A battle already lost.
Today I will order several books to learn more about the techno-libertarian idea “that democracy is simply an inefficient way to make decisions compared to markets and algorithms”, and to understand neo-reaction, a belief which holds that a constitutional republic with minimal government should be replaced with a “private, post-democratic order, where those with the most resources and technological control dictate the rules” and power doesn’t rest with the people—“it belongs to the most competent “executives” running society like a CEO would run a company.”
You mentioned several authors, but I will begin with Curtis Yarvin’s “Unqualified Reservations” and “The Sovereign Individual”, by James Dale Davidson and William Reees-Mogg.
Thank you for opening our eyes to something that more logically explains what is going on.
Because if most Americans can be made to know what's happening. If we can cut through the bullshit maelstrom of lies and distortions, we will take our country back. It can be done. But we need a little civic virtue.
Your thoughts are razor-sharp and cutting directly on the roots of the problem. Thank you for doing this. I hope your voice becomes amplified throughout our troubled land.
We have a chaotic evil dictator and chaotic evil chief minion who have somehow farmed out the implementation of their schemes to a lawful evil administration, despite the fact that demons and devils usually fight each other on sight.

My dear Lynda, the battle for democracy has not been lost. It is only just beginning.
Thank you for your encouraging words, but how do we win a battle if our attention is not focused on where it is taking place?

Spot on!
Have to say, I’m impressed with your thoughts. I don’t think it’s possible to overstate the mess we are in.
I think we need a ‘Network’ reaction in this country, https://youtu.be/_RujOFCHsxo?si=1cCQe134eLW0GmWY
“Mad as hell and not giving up “. Right On!!
You are one of my favorite authors. Your writing so beautifully captures my own sentiments. Please keep writing!
Voluntary paid subscriptions are appreciated. Things are getting expensive for me.
Beautiful argument and terrifying reality. So what the fuck are we waiting for? Where is the bottom of this free fall?
True dat Mike, every word!!
Your thoughts are razor-sharp and cutting directly on the roots of the problem. Thank you for doing this. I hope your voice becomes amplified throughout our troubled land.
Can you provide sources related to your comments regarding the East India Company and the American Revolution?
