The American people are pretty fickle. It won’t take long for them to become unhappy with the Republican party. Of course once that happens and you and I are celebrating “Yay! We got rid of the fascists!” they’ll be going “Hmm… These other guys are pretty uninspiring. Maybe we should try fascism again.”
* There’s a big asterisk here that this is all predicted on elections continuing unabated. Which is not a given.
And when the Democrats put up the same fascist policies in continuation of the status quo and refuse to defend those who find themselves targeted by Republicans, you will “hold your nose” to vote for them and cry at anyone who refuses to fall in line and do the same; in fact you will actively work against their efforts to build up power in resistance of both parties just because it won’t immediately pay off and you’re too brainwashed to believe in any power but the two-party system’s power. And then your party will lose anyways and take another step rightward in response. I know you people, we’ve done this whole song and dance before.
Sure, I prefer Kamala over Trump and MAGA, that is true. Obvious, even.
But I’m guessing my point is the one about to actually be meaningfully proven over the next few weeks or months.
Will you regret letting Trump in if he starts rounding up people on a large scale and committing human rights violations in their detention? Or will you not?
Voting was a strategy to prevent it. You seem like you didn’t participate.
You don’t need to tell me what you did, but did you do anything? Did you have to not vote in order to do what you did?
Two steps forward. One step back
two steps forward, random.randint(1,4) steps back.
Wonder how long it’ll take before we get to step forward again. As far as I’m seeing, we’re in for a long ride back. Not just for 4 years.

Let’s see if we were wrong about Trump’s 2nd term being uniquely dangerous.
Thanks for proving my point.

This has happened before. Even after Abu Ghraib Bush Jr won re-election. Even after Iran-Contra the Republicans won re-election.
But the fact is that they do not have the answers. They can only take things for themselves, and hope that people give up.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump made it President for life.
No way that would last long, it’s just not how Americans tick
I pray america doesn’t last his lifetime or that it dies with him
