I’ve had over a decade to miserably marinate on an anti-democratic process in which, to my great sorrow, all my gloomiest, wildest predictions keep coming true. Despite that, I still don’t think we’re doomed or that we should give up and walk into the sea en masse.

The only way I'm walking into the sea is if I've got my arms full of as many of these shitbirds as I can physically drag under the waves with me.

Honestly, I was alive to see the Soviet Union collapse, don't see why it can't happen to the United States. During Covid I got to see the potential new borders when Trump refused to fund states he didn't like and said states started sharing assistance. "Slowly at first, and then all at once."

True everywhere. The advent of fascism in France is very scary to me as a dual citizen of France and the U.S. But I also know French history, and what the right was like under Giscard d'estaing, and think fascism has a long way to go to be as bad as that.

The thing is, THE THING IS, they EAT EACH OTHER. If they manage something like raising a lot of money for Dear Leader they FIGHT each other to steal it. MAGA all the way down means "I got mine, screw you!"

The thing I keep thinking about is all the evil bastards on the right scheming about how to leverage the new-found executive power. If Biden loses these guys will be hyped to push every boundary. It’s scary.

Crucial to remember rule #1 of resistance to tyranny from @timothysnyder.bsky.social: don’t obey in advance.

If the word comes to pass I think I'll be all right if I nuke my account and walk away...you might need to leave the country.

Oh I'm not walking into the sea by any means. If fascists want me that bad, I have some things I'll want to try out in a practical setting. The dark hued polearms in the 3rd picture are actual Scottish late medieval relics I carefully mounted on hafts. 1st pic is an old ditch blade on a long pole

If they were pushed into these wild gyrations by confronting the death of their ideology, then I can’t wait to see what we do!

14 years for me. I once thought it was important to be a witness to history, and it simply made me miserable and mistrusting of anyone who claims they're willing to fight for better and then immediately complains about liberals. I've been disappointed too many times by the left to trust them.

No, this is a long fight. I think that's why you just see this kind of grim, tired determination instead of people being in the streets.

Rhyming vibes to when Dubya got the presidency in 2000 as his last graduation gift. Chop wood, carry water.

yeah. I think there's a lot of hope to be found, even if its prospects are not brightest in government and civic society.

We're not beat yet, but it's going to get worse before it gets any better. We won't cross this river without getting wet.
