      Yep. But the people don’t learn. So I don’t give a shit unless there is civil unrest against that government.

        We have learned what happens when a fascist leader implements martial law and gives themselves extensive powers to fully clinch a full dictatorship.

            Nah, I don’t think you would. Don’t you think others think like you do? Where’s the unrest? Talking is easy.

        It’s really hard to comprehend from an outside perspective that returning to the state of affairs with all the people being killed annually by cops or imprisoned for trivial/made-up stuff is the much preferred choice to the current state.
        Just awful.

        And it’s an still there, but now there is ICE too, foreign concentration camps multiplied/got outsourced, and military is being tested.

        In a country that wanted change, but got the opposite - just a lot more of the same(ish) problems. And they did that by voting.

        I’m not sure any legal mechanism (and there are a bunch afaik) can successfully inhibit the current administration to either just carry on or print ballots with only their names on it. Or just declare a winner without even counting the votes.

        A hungry nation fighting for food is in a bad position for a general strike.
