News

I don't know if it can be fixed. Nearly everyone I know irl is refusing to ~~watch~~ engage with the news and are instead burying their heads in sand, waiting till the next election. And these aren't like Facebook zombies, they're intelligent people with well developed critical thinking skills. The barrage of bad news made them shut everything out, and now they are shocked at the things that do slip through to them.

The friends that are planning to be safe spaces don't have a single clue about opsec. It's admirable they want to do that, but they've already been compromised and dont realize it

now how can it fixed?

Soon, very soon, MAGAS will begin to feel the effects. They are mean and violent. The orange TACO felon will turn against them because they don't matter a wit to him. The criminals in the white house will hire thousands at taxpayer expense to kill anyone who is not loyal to the crime boss. The plan has always been to have half the workers kill the other half. The way to fix this is to develop mutual interests with the other side. Here's how.

I think first we need to see if there is a political solution. If Trump loses enough support or somehow we manage to have midterm elections that aren’t messed with too egregiously and swing to the democrats, then we could get there peacefully. Another possibility is Trump’s health fails and there isn’t a clear successor that is powerful enough to unite his base of support.

While we can hope for those two possibilities to give us a chance at not seeing total fascism in America, I do share your perspective. Things aren’t good and we are very likely in a time just before things get very bad. No one is going to save you. Maybe some meaningful, clear-eyed resistance organizes (in which case civil war is possible), but you should start making arrangements. Either get out now, or figure out a few plans for what you’d do if you had to quickly react to something like that.

Louisiana has been a shit show since... yeah

Jesus Christ! Was it really 2021 when that went down?! I kept thinking it was like a year or two at most. Time flies so friggen fast.

Louisiana is hurricane territory, innit?

Look at D.C., you can run but you can't hide. MAGA means they'll just bring the south to you.

You need to get out of the US.

Having spent quite a bit of transient time there and now just south of Canada, I heartily agree, if you’re able.

Blue states are too fiscally responsible to waste their resources for show. They tend to spend state tax payer money on education and infrastructure.

Or as Governors Reeves and Landry would call it while they stuff their pockets with wads of cash, ignore existing laws, and create new laws that only benefit their friends and family "soshulism!"

In D.C.’s case, they bent over.

JVL of the Bulwark had a "modest proposal" like this. Send in blue state nat guard, clarify the chain of command and whether Trump wants any Guard in DC or just red hat state guard
