The Death of America: the Why, How, and First 180 DAYS

Rate this book
The framers of the Constitution were very concerned about limiting the power of government and in securing the liberty of citizens. To strike a balance between authority and liberty is the central purpose of American Constitutional Law. To this end, they created three branches of legislative, executive, and judicial with separation of powers, and there were checks and balances of each branch against the other. This was to assure the guarantees of individual liberty.

The Death of America occurred on November 5, 2024 as the fatal blow will culminate on January 20, 2025 with the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Donald Trump is the leader of the MAGA GOP Fascist Party and Project 2025 is their agenda. When Trump implements Project 2025 it will transfer virtually all power to the executive branch and to his presidency. When checks and balances are eliminated, it will be the death of American democracy as defined by the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The infamous Supreme Court Decision on Immunity, in July 2024, gave Trump unlimited power and total immunity. Project 2025 is a roadmap to dictatorship and Donald Trump will rule as a dictator.

A Separation of powers divided between three separate and independent bodies, it has been argued, limits the possibility of arbitrary excesses by government, since the sanction of all three branches is required for the making, executing and administering of laws. The framers of the Constitution were influenced by Montesquieu and William Blackstone and others, who saw checks and balances as essential for the security of liberty under the Constitution.

As John Adams “It is by balancing each of these powers against the other two, that the efforts in human nature toward tyranny can alone be checked and restrained, and any degree of freedom preserved in the Constitution.”

I wish I could do 2.5 starts as I would probably give this 3 stars if I had read the hardcopy. But, this instance of narration by Virtual Voice is terrible and I haven't found that on the same named AI narrator on other audiobooks. There is unexpected pauses, awkward abbreviation pronouncing, clumsy pacing, etc.

As for the content itself, this short book is augmented in backmatter (in printed editions) with the Declaration of Independence, etc. Here recalling that document and its citing as troops quartering and taxation without representation as predictions of disruptive tariffs and, predicted here, Trump's use of the National Guard. The author also predicts ideological reshaping of the federal government which we have seen and could have been expected from the Project 2025 plan as this author points out. Trump using The Insurrection Act is also predicted here.
