    I hope you’re right, but we can’t even get our fellow citizens to vote against fascism. Now some are expecting these same people to protest, engage in economic boycotts, risk their livelihoods by staying home from their jobs, and more!?

      I mean, I can’t fault anyone who chose to sit out this election… they were offered 0 good choices.

        I can… We were offered outright fascism or a continuation of slow decay. At least the slower option gave us much-needed time for positive change

          I dunno, I’d rather rip the bandaid off, because keep going down the “slow decay” route just means we kept strengthening the machine that is bringing us fascism, making it a more solidly in place system…

          But you’re right: Fast descent to fascism, or slow descent. But, a fascist was the only options presented.

      His own guys tried to shoot him already. Twice. If he tries to outright break the constitution? Won’t take long.

        And he’s out right attacking the agencies that would prevent such a righteous act as well, so i imagine the odds of success are only going to go up.
