I know so mаny аmаzing pаtriots in the greаt stаte of Texаs, аnd I love Texаs, thаt hаve been wаiting аnd аre willing for this moment. Deputize а citizen force, put them on the border, give them hаndcuffs, get it done. Sure thаt’s drаmаtic. You know whаt’s drаmаtic? The invаsion of the country. We’re going to tаlk more аbout thаt, we’re going to tаlk аbout how the other side hаs openly аdmitted thаt this is аbout bringing in voters thаt they wаnt аnd thаt they like аnd honestly, diminishing аnd decreаsing white demogrаphics in Americа. We’re going to sаy thаt pаrt out loud, аs so mаny people in the corporаte mediа аre аfrаid to tаlk аbout it.

I should probably be concerned about the increasingly-brazen descent into far right politics America is going through as capitalism further decays and its defenders look to fascism. But I’m honestly only mildly shocked and even a bit apathetic about it at this point. :shrug-outta-hecks:
That's exactly what I mean, though. Even after I (thought I) shed a lot of internalized American exceptionalism/chauvinism, it still took me a long while to completely burn out the notion of America being somehow immune to fascism through seeing repeated examples and diving into actual theory (including Settlers). Hence why I just feel a bit resigned and jaded about all this, whereas I would have been more alarmed even a year ago. Maybe it's me "knowing better" or maybe it's just coping.
That said, I don't see an outright fascist takeover likely, since you need the established capitalist or ruling class to be on board with it for that to happen, as history has shown. It's not impossible, but it's still in hypothetical territory until we see an actually-relevant leftist party, and the closest thing to that we have ATM is the DSA.
