    I agree, but am I only the one distraught af about this? What are people in America going to do? The first thing fascism always does is eliminate the Communists and Socialists. Not like the US has done so far, make fun of them in the press and isolate them through media consent manufacturing, I mean really make sure that political philosophy is entirely extinct. They're going to shut down these forums, arrest anyone to the left of Biden, ignore paramilitary death squads killing people in the streets, before moving on to the natural fascism scapegoats: shoot kids in Palestinian protests and call them terrorists, arrest LGBTQ people for being groomers, set black and women rights back to the 1600's, shit like that. I know that happens a lot now but there are pockets where people can feel safe in this country. They're going to use national power to override cities and states and eliminate those pockets.

    Fuck, this feels hopeless now. Even trading out Biden will not work anymore with that photo. I'd rather stay here where my support network is, but I feel like I'm going to have renew my passport and chance it in another country that I hope the US won't invade, or buy a gun, and I really, really don't want to have to fight a bunch of CHUDs. I want to relax in my apartment, hang out with friends, play games, and just live my life.

    The other thing I'm worried about is a fascist America stomping out communism around the world even more than it does. Cuba will get fucked by a full fascist America off its shores and China hasn't been as internationally helpful as the USSR.
