    Ya’ll think the US will ever collectively understand that they can’t keep pretending like these things are jokes or “wouldn’t actually happen”? I swear, Trump could grow a little mustache and people would be saying “oh no, I can’t believe we’re about to fall into fascism!”.

      No. Literally warned people and yelled at them that we would be inviting kidnappings (ICE), abortion rights, and gay rights, civil rights… damn there is so much that has already has happened. He can do no wrong to his base and the Supreme Court here and congress has pretty much given him free rein. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

        I guess if they keep pretending it’s only ever “just getting started” they can pretend as if their inaction was warranted.

          Yeah pretty much “we have to wait and see” is what is frequently parroted after everything I have said to try to get these people to see the massive error that is going kill them and the rest of us with them.

          Honestly the Trump/ Epstein thing is the closest I’ve seen them wake up too this time (since we’re shown the evidence when it first blew) , but this time it doesn’t seem to be sliding down as easily, but I’m almost positive Trump will find a distraction e.g. such as war…
