Oh, just now? Come on. He ran on dismantling the government, and somehow people thought he was kidding. That, and immigrants were causing all our problems.
I don’t see how we get ourselves out of this peacefully. Despite the party line being that everything will be better for business, what happens when domestic crops are left to rot in the fields because “the terrorists” were deported?
The second best time to do something is now
And fleeing is the best choice. The U.S. can plant its own fucking trees (which it won’t) while I finally feel a sense of relief on a trans-Atlantic flight.
Just as Nazi Germany caused millions to flee Europe for the US, Fascist US is causing the first of millions to flee to Europe.
Here’s hoping all who make it will be safe for at least several generations.
The weird thing being that all the American gun-nuts have been yammering about their second amendment rights for so long and why it’s important that they get to have as close to military issue weaponry as possible at home.
Well, boys & girls… What’s happening in your government right now, might literally be the reason for the second amendments exesisting.
The problem with dictators is that people tend to vote them into office themselves, without realizing it. And then fail to dispose of them again, for the same reason.
Look, US here. I’ve been saying this for years and turns out as normal I’m fucking right.
A leaning majority of the gun nuts are the ones cheering for this and wanted a fascist regime. The other half has always been cosplayers wanting to look tough. The 2A crowd of our country has always been cowards that was willing to sacrifice children to protect their precious sacred cows.
Another red line? Sorry to be blunt but at this rate the constitution of his country is toilet paper. Used toilet paper.
Anyway dictatorships hate 1) insiders who see the outside, and 2) outsiders who see the inside. So both Trump+Bukele are making sure Garcia stays in the right North American potatoship, instead of the wrong one.
My concern at this point is that when people eventually reclaim power and overthrow the dictatorship, the other members that willfully participated in all of this will not be held accountable and will get away free, or even worse will be allowed back into a democratic government again.
I’m kinda skipping over the majority of the timeline here. But eventually, these people need to be held accountable for the countless crimes they have committed and the worse crimes that have yet to come. The majority of the republican party should see prison for life at this rate.
Life in prison is not enough. That may have been an option after the civil war if they had done what needed to be done at the time. Unfortunately, this go around, there will need to be more drastic measures, and this doesn’t just involve the officials, but the supporters as well. There is a blood debt that will need to be paid if we’ll ever move beyond this for good.
Are you calling for people’s deaths?
Regardless of how serious their crimes are, calling for people’s deaths is not a great way to be(e) nice.
Most of the unfortunate people who support the current administration are suffering from a lack of funding for education and other systemic issues that are not their fault. If the system were to collapse and be restructured, we should aim to help those people, not punish them.
