Nazis literally looked to some of America's founding fathers and the Confederacy for inspiration.

Maybe Hurd never went anywhere but they are responsible for as much of what constitutes "Linux" as the Linux kernel is. Linux never would have amounted to much without GCC, the GNU tools, and the GPL.
All that is true, and yet the establishment Democrats in power are still playing games, refusing to endorse Mamdani, and parading around "abundance liberalism" like it's not the same old song and dance. Electing another establishment Democrat in 3 years isn't going to save us.
Right now, the concern is the midterms which may just still happen. A Democratic majority in both chambers actually will hinder this administration.
As for the Presidency, we have no idea who will be running. I'm not going to help the establishment build an early consensus for another sub-par candidate.
As for the threat to jail liberals, that's a check the administration can't cash - not at scale. They don't have the prisons, the guards, the cops, or the balls. So far, it doesn't even look like they will get Kimmel off the air. Their grand military parade turned into a display of malicious compliance, and their military deployments to US cities have not provided them what they were looking for. Only the ICE brown-shirts have displayed a real willingness to back the administration's agenda. I'm not saying there is no danger, but it's not as hopeless as you say.
I wouldn't endorse Newsom either. I made that mistake with Biden in 2020 and we would have been 1000% better off if Trump had won. At least then the Republicans wouldn't have had four years to build project 2025 emboldened by Biden's weak response to January 6.
I am almost 100% certain this county will be ended by another shitlib presidency.
I hope to fuck you don't seriously think we are seeing a serious change of heart. Psychopaths don't work that way.
Newsom is making a run at the presidency, and he is marginally more aware of the landscape than the average establishment hack. It was barely a month ago he was doing the right wing grift circuit, and now he is trying to grift the left. We should milk whatever real gains we can get out of it, then dump him. Hope isn't a thing here.
They can only rig things so far. There's a reason Congress has a record number of Republicans that have an announced they aren't running again. There is a reason red states are rushing to push gerrymandering to its limits. They expect more elections to be contests.
Now do a venn diagram comparing that with states allowing child marriage.
Maybe, but you can't throw a stick in DC without hitting an Israeli agent. Anyone that's not a hard core Zionist is still scared to cross AIPAC.
I don't think there is anyone close to being able to hold onto the MAGA fan base of Trump kicks it. Vance sure can't, Elon is universally hated, as is Stephen Miller. None of Trump's kids has any charisma either.
I wouldn't say that it is morally obligatory or a good idea in practice.
Then you are just another one of the millions that chose to let evil happen. With all due respect, fuck off.
To me, a patriot always been someone who is willing to sacrifice of themselves to make the country better for everyone else. Whether that means sacrificing their life in battle, giving up significant wealth, or using their talents to help those in need.
MAGA is all about grievance, and what the country should be doing to service them. They are nationalists and identitarians, not patriots.
The structure of your post implies that people shouldn't be angry at the Democrats?
