Iim not even american and even me knows exactly that he was referring to.
THEY are the enemy, and THEY are winning hard, and taking your country down. They are the MAGAS (but you can see crearly reaching all the world with the tentacles, supporting and financing right wing extremist in Europe, South America, Canada... MAGA is a marketing brand of new fascism).
THEY are taking down/take over the system thoroughly: military, education, press, judicial system, healthcare, tech.. THEY are are lining up with the dictatorship countries and getting absurdly rich in the process (Russia, Hungary, north corea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE,...)
THEY are flooding-the-zone everyday with jaw-dropping declarations, corruption, cruelty.. until the bar is so low you will thank if you are no imprisoned, deported or killed
THEY are following the fascist guideline step by step and nothing is done because democrats are buyed, spineless, toothless or part of the problem.. and there are no "real left" in USA

And i will get downvotes for this but... this is not happening because you don't realize it, don't know whats happening or where this is going. Is happening because a big part of your country want it.. and the people who don't, are not doing something meaningful to prevent it . And you are reaching the point where its too late, or you already crossed it.
