Democracy ain't a thing in the US no more. Genuinely, that concept is dead, rule of law is gone, elections don't matter, it's done, it's over. It's fucking bleak, but I don't think there is any coming back from this, and frankly, it ruins my whole day.
Yeah, every fascist regime in history fell or is in the process of falling, but this is the one that's going to beat the odds and finally take. America is so exceptional that we're the only ones who will never escape this downhill slide.
/s. Nah, man. Every slide has a bottom. Their game plan is misinformation (for the maga base), complacency (for the old school Republicans), or despair (for everyone on the left), and you've been hit by it. There's no shame in that—they've literally spent billions of dollars trying to snag you. But it's still just propaganda.
They have a weakness—in fact, they have tons of them—and the only way they get to keep on ruling is if we don't take advantage of those weaknesses. I'm not saying it's going to be fun. But they will fall; and based on Trump's failing health and rapidly crumbling coalition, it's going to happen sooner rather than later. At this point it's just a matter of how many people get hurt or killed before he's finally deposed.
Hold on tight. Only let go to reach down and pull up someone who needs help, or to punch a Nazi in the face. Immerse yourself in local action. Do what you can do— it's more than you think.
Don't take this the wrong way, but go fuck yourself. If elections, laws, voting didn't matter, people wouldn't be trying to convince you they don't.
And Republicans wouldn't be gerrymandering Texas.
