I hope people don't dogpile you.
You aren't wrong but you also need to realize that it goes a lot deeper than elections. When liberal democracy (capitalism) runs dry on new resources and labor to exploit, this is the kind of thing that can be expected to happen.
I don't think the Democrats would give us this exact fuckery in 2025, however they've shown themselves to be completely incapable of resolving the problems that brought us to this moment. They are even anti-solution, just "things will get worse, but more slowly" vs "things bad now".
This was decades in the making and there's no easy path out of it for the US.
they (and me just now) definitely would have dogpiled, thanks for reminding us
I think @Cowbee@hexbear.net is doing excellent work and I want to try and channel that energy more (at least for the first couple of responses)
