This article was posted shortly before the election but everything in there is still true and seeing his appointees perhaps worse than predicted.

    So we should stage an insurrection to prevent him from taking power right?

    Right?!

    Oh, no, we’re gonna just act like this isn’t an existential threat like you’re saying.

    So why should I believe you when you say something is a threat?

      Preach. If everyone who wrote about the end of democracy actually believed what they were saying, this wouldn’t be getting downvoted. If anyone who wrote articles like this actually believed it, these would be calls to action, not liberal hand wringing.

      If people actually do believe this, and in response sit there doing nothing, they are cowards. Plain and simple. If you think this is the end of democracy, what are gonna do… vote democracy back? Ya’ll don’t, you know how I know ya’ll don’t? You aren’t doing anything about it, and you won’t.

      Like fuck off with this ridiculous, inflammatory shit. It already lost the election and both houses, maybe focus on figuring out how to win a fucking election once everyone realizes these idiots can’t actually govern in 2 years, again!

      Not even going to act like this isn’t a good idea.

      Rationalizing it to be a BETTER insurrection than what he already tried won’t work. That would trigger another civil war and set the country back a hundred years.

      Fair game though: he’s going to absolutely ruin the economy and the country anyway, so…🤷

      All the organizing bullshit people are running hopium for won’t work for these people. We are LITERALLY living the same politics of the Nazi and fascist rise in Europe. You won’t turn it around until other people step in to start a world war and declare these people insane. Unfortunately the world powers right now that would step in are most interested in elimination of the US. Bad spot to be in.
