Yes, I think the US as we knew it is gone. We’ll see what happens in November. The fascists will not cede power, so we will see how the country reacts. I’ll bet we just accept it and try to live our lives like most people do. We blew it in '24 when we had a legitimate chance.
They’re obviously going to try some shit this election but I don’t think they’re going to go as hard this year as they will in ‘28. Trump doesn’t seem to really care if they lose the House because he probably plans to just ignore anything a Dem house will do anyway. He’s already blaming congressional GOP for losses when it’s almost entirely his admins policies sinking them.
The Senate is in play but I think it’s still gonna be GOP because the Senate is inherently fucking bullshit and IF it goes 51/49 to Dems, Fetterman is gonna flip. This is another reason I don’t think they’re gonna put in a lot of effort to sabotage this election. IF we somehow get a 52/48 Dem senate then I’d really expect shit to pop off.
They’re going to push and prod to find weaknesses. They’ll probably give up on the House, get everyone to let their guard down. Then use what they learn this year to really fuck things up in ‘28.
If we have to go to civil war, fine, let’s just fucking do it.
I hope it stays peaceful and congress brings legal authority for those who want to defend democracy, but if it doesn’t stay peaceful I know a lot of people that are ready for that.
We didn’t blow it, trump and musk rigged the election and admitted to it on live TV. The math backs it up, but the media won’t report on it because they’re part of the coup too.
I disagree. The entire system failed.
Your leaders blew it when Jan 6 had no consequences.
You can’t let a coup attempt go unpunished, because that will only embolden them.
Remember when we believed that “checks and balances” was a real thing. Turns out that, like the Easter Bunny, the evidence of it ever existing is highly circumstantial.
100%. Biden admin fucking dropped the ball big time. I consider him one of the worst Presidents simply for that (there’s also the whole genocide thing…).
I always like to remind people that in the frog boiling experiment, the only frogs that didn’t react to the temperature rising, were the ones who’d had their brains removed. The other tried to escape once the water hit around 25 degrees C.
There is no path forward for the US unless every single person involved in this is punished.
Same for the boat strikes.
Same for ICE killings and concentration camps.
Same for the govt grifting and conflicts of interest

They are already trying to normalize public executions by firing squad. How long till they use it against their “political enemys”
A lot of us aren’t just going to accept it.

We’re all fucking tired of being abused.
I hope you are right. I hope there are enough to have an effect,

I keep saying the last chance was 2024 and the USA fucked it up.
Sadly I believe the path has already been taken after the tepid response of our institutions towards Trump and Jan 6th.
it’s been a boiling frogs process.

Truth is no one is gonna save us but us.
