Cutting through the noise to the brass tacks of the betrayal. Americans have to stop accepting the polite fiction! The grand American system of checks and balances is a lie—a gutless, empty concept that has been utterly sold out by partisan politics and executive ambition! The evidence is everywhere: Congress is paralyzed, the judiciary is weaponized, and the President has seized dictatorial control of foreign policy!
And why should I care, or why should we care? We're canadians, but as Pierre Trudeau said, "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt." I would say the slip into dictatorship is a pretty big twitch.
This is why we are forced to look at the U.S. Secretary of State, , and see the terrifying structural shadow of the Nazi Reich Minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop! . Look at the operational reality! The Secretary of State is no longer an independent constitutional advisor; he is the President's Chief Agent! His authority doesn't come from the law; it comes from the absolute, personal, and fickle trust of one man. His job is to carry out the President's unpredictable, transactional "America First" mandates, often at the expense of the professional State Department itself. He knows that his entire standing depends on unquestioning loyalty and the successful execution of the executive’s personal will.
This dependency is the key!
Ribbentrop was the same—a contemptible figure whose power was wholly derivative of Adolf Hitler’s tyrannical will. He was nothing but an executor, a lackey whose only purpose was to secure diplomatic ground for a genocidal, aggressive agenda. He operated entirely outside the rule of law.
The infuriating, unacceptable similarity is the structural dynamic of power. When the American checks fail, the roles become functionally identical: two men serving as the diplomatic arm for an unbound executive who demands absolute fealty and dictates policy on a personal whim. Both are mere extensions of a leader who treats the state as his own property.
The ultimate, damning difference remains in the moral scope—Ribbentrop served a fully realized monster; Marco Rubio serves a leader attempting to dismantle democracy. But the fact that the U.S. chief diplomat is now operating under the very structural rules of a dictatorship is a profound and unpatriotic failure! It’s an outrage that deserves nothing less than fury!
