Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.

…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?

I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.

      plan would perform a quick takeover of the entire U.S. federal government

      Because that worked so well last time, didn’t it?

      This reads more like “jesus is coming next year!” nonsense that has been repeated every few years. The insane people eat it up, nothing happens, and ‘oh no we meant next year’ rinse and repeat.

        And I wondered how Hitler ever rose to power. The complacency of the average person thinking “it isn’t going to happen here.”

          “it isn’t going to happen here.”

          The line is “it can’t happen here”

          The difference being the complacency you speak of - we don’t assume it can’t happen.

          Possible, sure. With these clowns, not a chance in hell. Now you show me a credible threat - not this nonsense - and I’ll get out of my chair and start shoving my cane up people’s asses with glee.

          But this ain’t it chief.
