I think it is wise and productive for people to take seriously the idea we are in a constitutional crisis in America. I don’t think it is wise or productive to assume what happens next is like what happens in semi consolidated or consolidated authoritarian systems.

Dude, i am a later Gen Xer/Xennial raised on Cold War rhetoric and personal stories of World War Two where folks’ grandparents showed me their Tattoos….the problem with “wait and see” in my opinion is my life is a binary of “alive/not” and risking it on “they may not go as fast” seems naïve

This is an extremely good thread and I will be reposting it, but I have one issue w/something you said. It’s not a long way to the bottom. I did not pick up on until yesterday that project 2025 is projecting that ALL of the things that they have put in there will happen within the first six months.

Stuff takes time. Pick your example—Hungary, Turkey, Russia, wherever—they are all quite distinct and didn’t get that way in a vacuum or overnight. Focus on the next thing rather than the hypothetical drawn from a different context.

What induces panic for me is feeling like a frog in boiling water and having no clue when to jump out
