This is only "doom and gloom" if you've given up and resigned yourself to inaction.

IMO, the worst possible response is ignoring reality and entertaining the fantasy that an election 3.5 years away could overthrow a fascist dictatorship that is doing everything you would do if you never planned on facing accountability, justice, or (fair) elections ever again.

IMO, the worst possible response is believing elections or bi-monthly protests are the only plausible way to remove a fascist dictatorship. There are many options, and Americans are already at the point that warrants a permanent general-strike. The corruption, authoritarianism, and treason to their constitutional oath is on full display for all to see. There should be a million people camped around capitol hill and every single Republican politicians home and office — every single SC justice — right now, PEACEFULLY demanding their immediate resignation/abdication, and new elections.

... and if the above fails, and the fascists resort to violence and terrorism to crush the protestors, that's when the gloves should come off and the protestors should be prepared to forcefully remove the fascists, by any means necessary. That is literally the entire reason the 2nd amendment exists at all.

Every tyrant in history has proven that they're either paper tigers who collapse (usually by fleeing) under the weight of opposition (often internal)... or choose violence, and should be met with violence.

They are doing the jobs they were paid to do, by corporate America.

Being ineffectual corporate-whores who capitulate to capital is the core requirement of every politicians job description in the 21st Century. Though, it turns out corruption is incompatible with democracy and the rule of law. Who would have thought?

Almost guaranteed. Net zero, and the means to achieving it, was basically a Greenwashing exercise manufactured by the fossil fuel industry, so the entire mechanism is full of ridiculous loopholes en par with Hollywood accounting.

At the current rate, that'll happen within months; definitely before the end of the year.

Fascist dictatorship, doing fascist dictatorship things, because it's a fascist dictatorship.

Let me know when the American people actually do something instead of rolling over and getting cucked 24/7.

When has fascism ever been defeated without violence?

Yeah, I deleted a paragraph re chicken & egg scenario whether or not it started on 4chan.

It could have very well been a targeted PsyOp by Russia/fascists from the get-go, potentially starting years before gamergate.

Not invaded. The existing 4chan user-base inspired, and was targeted with, fascist propaganda starting with gamergate!

It was literally ground zero for fascist PsyOps. Steve Bannon even considered it an inspiration, and a pivotal moment, in the creation of his fascist propaganda machine.

El Salvador's regime has already sent 80k people to gulags since 2022, and capitalism found it cheaper to outsource US gulags to poor countries, the same way it did for manufacturing. Rather ironic, really.

Also, Trump's definitely making money off the deal somehow. It isn't realistic to airlift tens of thousands of Americans there though. This is just the start. They'll probably start building domestic death camps soon; to disappear the bulk of the undesirables.

I get what you mean re police state and domestic terrorism, but I don't believe blacks and minorities were ever kidnapped and trafficked to foreign death camps, let alone without even being charged with a crime.

In less than a month, the nazi party have already disappeared 1/3 the total number sent to Gitmo the last 23 years.

This is not normal. The USA no longer exists. It is now, unequivocally, a fascist dictatorship.

From now on you must view all of their words and actions through the lens of a fascist dictatorship. This is almost certainly propaganda intended to increase fear of Chinese supremacy and using that fear as an excuse to invade Panama.

I hard doubt the US doesn't have classified hypersonic missile tech, and even if they don't, this admin won't stop maintaining, building, or deploying these "vulnerable" billion dollar aircraft carriers. Everything conservatives and DOGE cut is everything that benefits the working class, and increases their quality of life and economic mobility. They never cut anything that enables their authoritarian capabilities.

He's as strong and resilient as a fart in the wind!

and profit is more important than everything; including quality of life and national security!

Stop acting like the problem is religion-specific instead of empirically inherent to religion.

I have zero doubt secret service have largely been replaced with loyalists, and would kill any Marshall attempting such a thing.

It should still be done, but I doubt any judge has the balls, because the fascists will charge and execute them too.

They're more likely to kill his entire family than they are to ever give up power.

The only device or information system that is truly secure is the one that doesn't exist at all

Literally everything they are doing is a "cultural purge", to plant fascist loyalists into every position of power and authority. The brain drain is a side effect, and the more educated and high-skilled people that leave, the more it will sap American tech and industry of profits (including big tech, the war machine, etc).

Brain drain: the situation in which large numbers of educated and very skilled people leave their own country to live and work in another one where pay and conditions are better.

Lol, "the fascists murder civilians so it's okay" is not the hill to die on, but keep voicing your true colors!

There is absolutely no situation where targeting innocents is justified, otherwise you are as vile as the fascists, and your actions will only provide them with justification, and weaken the cause in the eyes of the civilian. You could certainly threaten the fascist with that to gain the upper hand, but civilians should always remain off limits, regardless of how low the fascist goes.

There will always be more than enough legitimate military/political targets who have broken their oath and are "just following orders" from the dictatorship. Don't get lazy or despotic.
