I’m not in the US, but it seems to me that the Republicans keep breaking norms and procedures, including politicising impeachment and ignoring illegal, immoral and plain bad conduct.

They also seem to be fine with not applying the same standard across the isle.

On the other hand, either Democrats follow new precedent, with even more devolving, or they keep the old decorum and get their asses kicked by Republican foul play.

What ways out of this spiral are there?

    The US will have a “Revolution of Dignity” moment similar to Ukraine.

    If pro-constitution side wins, trump (and leading maga leaders) will flee to russia.

    But if the maga wins, the US will remain a fascist nation for decades.

      It’s not written in cosmic law that this will occur. The circumstance are certainly leaning in that direction though.

      They learned from 2020. So must any opposition evolve. But yeah, moving away from fascism is going to take some blood on both sides. Arguably better than sticking with it where only one side’s blood is shed.

      A general strike is probably the best place to start. There’s still a lot that needs to happen to get the placated middle to see the need for more aggressive means.
