The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don't know if people understand that I'm not exaggerating. I legitimately can't tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don't know if people around me understand that that's not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it's perfectly safe. It's like watching people go to a store that's literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It's like people think if the fire department isn't reacting then it isn't happening

and my grandmother thinks it's funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

because it is.

everyone is coping on a "return to normal' (ie. unsustainable ratfucking) when trump finally croaks.

imo, this won't happen. the people who said violence will be required to remove them will require violence to be removed

"return to normal' (..unsustainable ratfucking)

Fuck they got me cause I'd be a consumer for a T shirt with that

i live here, also feel like this & that everyone else isn't taking it seriously, and am not exactly sure what the fuck to do

"Nazis" have always been a part of America, look at our founding and history.

It's America as usual to me; I fully expect Democrats to win midterms and the next Presidential election, then they will pass a bare minimum of legislation (perhaps minimum wage, it's getting comical); they will also do some unpopular things. This will somehow anger the Christians, who will again "take power", and so on.

The Republican party does not want to eliminate the Democratic party. They both rely on the other, and they also both rely on corporate dollars. See Super PACs for further details.

I don't see that changing any time soon, unless the dollar collapses, then it's going to get weird.

Yep. They just weren't as visible. The biggest thing is not their 'rise' it's rage-induced social media giving them a platform to broadcast to millions. Previously they were just on their little niche websites and before that they were making zines and pamphlets and you had to work to go find their materials.

I also agree with your read on the Democrats. They refuse to have any progressive or positive policy agenda that they enact and they keep losing out because the Republicans have very clear agenda and they aggressively enact it. Their messaging and voter outreach is atrocious and have a been a complete mess since Obama left office and even his second term was middling.

they've always had their platform, that is literally what fox news/the murdoch empire was created for

I feel like a single nerve cell screaming out in pain while the rest of the body ignores everything until it's bad enough to go to the emergency room.

I feel paranoid that Night of 1000 Knives is coming, and it's kept secret to only the facists, and they are all itching for the signal to start.

[-] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

Kristallnacht comes first. So keep an eye out for that. Then you can prepare for the knives.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 16 hours ago

It probably is

[-] zeca@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 day ago

People dont know what to do about it. Its as simple as that. They dont see any available action that they see any chance of being fruitful... plus they are too busy thinking about how theyre going to pay their next bills.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

This is it 1000%

In the US, probably 75% of the population will irreparably fuck up their entire life from a single missed paycheck, which can happen if you miss a single day of work because you were illegally detained.

Not like "oh, I'll need to pay a late fee fuck up", I mean, "you and your kids will die cold and hungry under a bridge" fuck up.

Yes but, if you live in Canada, it is very easy to NOT GO to the Untied States. One of my complaints is people in my country continuing to walk into the burning states as if they see nothing wrong or dangerous about it. It stresses me out.

[-] zeca@lemmy.ml 3 points 21 hours ago

Ah i see. Well i know im not going to the us anytime soon either. Simply having my phone searched and messed with at the border is already a big turn off. I have family members there that are still a valid reason to visit, but i agree that going to something like disneyland would be support for this degenerate state.
