Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    The second frog turns to the first and says “you’re being alarmist, things aren’t that bad.”

    This sounds like the second frog.‡

    You gotta read what I wrote again then lol

    You definitely have way more faith in our (metaphorical) neighbors and the system than I do.

    Absolutely not. Actually one of the really alarming things to me is that I don’t think this country has the structures and traditions in its society anymore that would enable it to build and maintain a working technological society (let alone a working democracy). I hope I am wrong, but I actually don’t even think that the current fascism crisis is the worst thing that we’re facing. I think it is a symptom of a much deeper disease which is a lot harder to get rid of than any one leader or political faction no matter how fascistic.
