Which other people? What power do you think they have?
And who do you expect to restrain them?
And yes, America is over. It is a fascist dictatorship now. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will stop expecting this to be fixed by any sort of government or legal opposition which will never come and hopefully actually start working on trying to do something about it yourself. Like taking to the streets when you can.
if it was a fascist dictatorship, we couldn’t take to the streets.
it’s not over, and i’m not placing all of my faith in the government to correct itself either….
taking to the streets is great, but so is stuff like petitioning and writing to political representatives….
when they start shooting protestors, then it will be a fascist dictatorship.
this is good: https://pocan.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/pocan-introduce-elon-musk-act-ban-federal-government-contracts-special
there are a lot of people in government still fighting back… including federal employees….
the state department flew it’s flag at half mast….
it can feel like we’re defeated, but we’re not… yet….
You can't take to the streets. Otherwise there would be people in the streets.
Got it, Nazi Germany did not start out as a fascist dictatorship when Hitler was named chancellor.
I think you've got a lot of historians to write to and inform them about this.
I said nothing about defeat. I said the government opposition is not going to help you. They are puppets now.
over simplification
I agree. Suggesting that fascist dictatorships only begin when people are being shot for protesting is a gross oversimplification.
You're entirely correct, but the person you're talking to isn't ready to understand or accept what is being said. I see you all the time fighting the good fight, but I think you should move on from em.
