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.

        Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

        A better comparison may be the inequality before the civil war. Which was then improved by fighting a war about it.

        So it may also get wayyy worse before it gets better again.

        (Though I also agree with the assessment that it’s pretty overdramatized by the media)

      1812 when the Whitehouse was burning. The great depression/dustbowl. Mccartyism era, Vietnam War, Civil rights protests and race riots…

        I’m not overly familiar with any of these. During those crisis, was anyone serious about abolishing the institutions of the United States? McCarthy at least seems to have used the institutions to his ideology.
