Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

MODERATORS
Yes, and when that doesn't happen, all the people who were expecting the apocalypse to happen (like they did with the last Trump presidency) will neglect to show up for the next election... again.
The fanatics and sycophants (like the one you literally posted) are a distraction from all the people actually making changes in background. The people appointing judges, the people capturing regulation for their own ends.
People talk about how we'll all be lined up and shot if we lose the presidency to Trump... but that's not how these people work. It has never been how these people work. 99% of what they do is pander to their base with wild claims of what they're going to do to the "woke-crowd" and the "socialists". Then when they get into office they block any kind of effective legislation and blame the left and the neo-liberals for standing in the way of "America".
Fascism in this country won't happen with a shotgun blast, it will happen with a shiv in the dark.
"when that doesn't happen"
Like Roe v Wade getting reversed didn't happen?
You should read some history books. It is happening EXACTLY like it happened in the past. Down to a T. Other fascist groups weren't successful their first attempt at seizing power either. Other fascist groups didn't go from 0 to gas chamber instantly.
The fact that they haven't yet lined people up against the wall does not mean they won't the second they feel they can get away with it.
The last time they tried to steal power was a practice run. One they've learned from. One that almost succeeded except for some key people who didn't bend their knee. Having people like that around is a mistake they will not make again.
