US is already fascist and has multiple competing fascist factions. George Jackson's explanation of how fascists operate while nascent, gaining power, and maintaining or securing power completely tracks. The real details I feel come from Trump's camp marshalling the energy of nascent fascists who make wild ideological appeals that even present themselves as being countercultural or subversive, represented by the Q, ZeroHedge, and NewsMax people etcetera.

In terms of waiting for Trump attempting to come and shut you people up, I hope that confrontation finally happens. I feel like it would be a huge mistake akin to McCarthy ripping into the CIA-infiltrated New Left. But I am pretty sure nonviolent antiwar activism is still gonna be safe under Trump as it was safe under Bush. What you're actually going to see is stuff like the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation - which of course Biden was already doing.

Jingling keys. Jingle jingle jingle

most of which was about his personal history

Oh epic does he bring up Chomsky too, what a surprise.

You mean like just deleting every app that runs in the background for ten minutes? Not really much better than Samsung.

no "it sucks and is stressful"

Oh so we flex on here now?

I don't know if bravery is really the resource lacking here considering China and Russia are still developing countries. The US is powerful but dying, the semi-periphery is rapidly growing. They're not just being overly conservative.

Oh okay good I was gonna say The Onion should cover it. Not a lawyer.

Am I misunderstanding the arrangement or is it kind of fucked up of The Onion to try to get Sandy Hook families to use the recovery fund for acquiring InfoWars? Do they really not have the money?

Disturbing how people have mentioned Epstein and pedophilia twice about Trump appointments now without mentioning antediluvian pedophile (to use World of Darkness parlance because it's funny and I can get nothing else out of being tricked into playing VtM:B) Jamie Dimon. Gaetz is literally three tiers down.

Wait I don't understand how you think the US election factors into the MoD's decisionmaking can you explain.

I think it would be a good wake up call to the people on this site who subsist entirely on youtube videos, bad twitter and reddit takes, and arguing. The idea of anyone spending their time that way makes me uncomfortable. Maybe driving away the last thing that makes them feel relevant could drive self-improvement.

This post has convinced me people who think populism has real meaning have the same distortion of reality going on as people who think pro wrestling is real.
