    Many people have been saying it for a while, Florida and Texas are the labratories for fascism in this country. What's going on there is likely to spread to the federal level when they get executive power again, and I don't have any hope that there will be a decent opponent to whichever flavor of fascist comes out of the republican primary for 2024.

      the country was literally founded on slavery and indigenous genocide. the entire country has always been a laboratory for fascism. This is the country that did My Lai, Abu Ghraib, and Nissour Square. This is the country that actively has prison slavery. I was told "We are going to become a fascist country" when Trump was elected and I said "always have been." Both parties are in lockstep toward WW3 with China. at this point escaping the country doesn't even matter. If you're not inside America's fascist zone of influence (NATO/EU/Australia/NZ), you're somewhere America will drop bombs or do regime change.

      I can only hope that some people's analysis of "the Republicans did terribly in 2022 because of them declaring War on Wokeness" is correct.

        I'm pretty wary to believe that, as much as I'd like to, because the dems will probably run some awful boring canidate if they don't run Biden's corpse, and I'm afraid it won't be enough. But maybe I'm too pessimistic, as any shred of hope for the future has already been stomped out of me.
