That’s part of why I’m just losing my fucking mind that everyone’s like “omg wow I’m shocked idk what is gonna happen next”, and the breathless shock that legacy media has about fucking everything that’s happening now.

There is a fucking playbook, you fucking imbeciles. It was published over five fucking years ago. It’s just up there on a website whose url is the same as the fucking title of the playbook. They said they’d follow the playbook. They’re following the fucking playbook. They will continue to follow the fucking playbook. You’re not fucking allowed to be surprised by this.

When this madness is over, the next administration should outlaw the Heritage Foundation somehow. They clearly have proven to be actively working against the interests of the American people.

Ha. You think this is just going to end one day

Dictatorships always end badly. But it can take decades.

In the case of the US, the closest analog - the Third Reich - lasted 12 years. I'm hoping the American Reich won't last nearly as long but I'm bracing for about a decade.

You are part of the problem. There won't be a next administration. Where the hell have you been?

They've told us what they're going to (and want to) do every step of the way.

But Trump fans pretend stuff isn't going to happen... even when it's literally happening

On top of that, Trump is 100% going to try to stay for another term

I do not promote violence. You should not commit violence. It is generally not worth it. Mmkay? Want that to be 100% clear. Additionally, violence is what Trump wants so he has an excuse to declare martial law/suspend elections/etc. It's very obvious. Violence = bad.

All that said, unless America lets itself descend into the authoritarian pit, I don't see any way out that won't involve violence at some point/level. We are beyond what was happening during the civil rights era. These people aren't interested in compromise and working together. They want to dismantle America's culture of diversity to replace it with their own.

I'm not sure there are any other methods that work if it comes down to it. Even people on the left are in denial; these people aren't joking about wanting to attack libs. They're actively preparing for it by calling all libs mentally ill, or that liberalism is a disease, etc.

Do you see what I'm saying? How are you going to try to argue with some of these people? Not all republicans are all in on this - but there's enough in power that this is very, very dangerous

All I can say is that I truly hope the courts enforce the constitution. Bring those people back and give them due process. I don't want them deported, but if that ends up happening, at least it's legal &... I struggle to say humane.

Run liberals as GOP candidates. Then vote Republican. But vote for liberals.

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Republicans have certainly done the opposite
