this is fucking catastrophic for the entirety of humanity.

I agree it's dangerous, but 85% of humanity live in countries that are already either on USA's shit list or don't-give-a-shit list, and have never benefited from a Democrat US government either.

Yes, I know. My point is that what's already bad is gonna get much worse.

As awful as the Neoliberal status quo that the Dem leadership lost all parts of the government insisting on, the first Trump administration was just a trial run where he was often hindered by people with a modicum of scruples or those without being unprepared to the point of incompetence.

Jan 6th was the Beer hall putsch. They're doing the night of the long knives and the Reichstag fire simultaneously while the Mango Mussolini takes the train to ~~Rome~~ Washington. Additional reference to 1920s and 30s fascism.
