We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.
Bingo. We’ve been building toward this moment for decades. The pessimist in me doesn’t think we’ll be able to turn things around without massive upheaval and bloodshed.
We’re past that point. They’ve made their decision already by doing everything they can, including “reinterpreting” existing laws, to prevent us from handling things peacefully.
Democracy has many problems, but one good thing about it is that you are able to change the people in power without chopping any heads off. It’s just that some democratic countries aren’t quite democratic enough for that that to actually work IRL. Also, American democracy seems to be a special exception where all sorts of trickery makes it even harder to actually fix the problems using democratic means.
The way I see it, you need to switch to preferential voting and rewrite a bunch of laws.
Do we? A lot of people have stood on the sidelines and done nothing. They will continue to do nothing under fascism as long as they can live comfortable sedated lives.
I don’t know. That seems pretty fragile these days with so many people barely scraping by. Sure most of us have enough for food but what else do we have? And they seem to be making no effort in improving our quality of life. In fact they are deliberately sabotaging it.

Cringe rhyme, but it’s the best I’ve got.
If the French could do it, we certainly can as well. At least… I hope so.
The French didn’t exactly do it without bloodshed.

Well I’m good with bloodshed.
So what?
Commenter one: “… Without bloodshed”
Commenter two: “if the French could do it”
I was just pointing out that the French didn’t do it without bloodshed. I swear reading comprehension is at an all time low.
Oh, I understood perfectly. I just don’t care if bloodshed is required.
I mean at least we outnumber them by a literal fuck ton.

What are you doing differently?
