      desantis literally was torturing people in guantanamo 20 years ago. banning a party that has never done anything for me barely changes the fascist trajectory this country has always been on. yeah. escape florida if you can. escape america if you can. desantis is the democrat of 10 years from now anyway. Just like the democrats today praise the guy who passed the patriot act because he's "not trump"

          it's always been serious. this conversation reminds me of when trump got elected 4 years ago. You had libs going "We're a fascist dictatorship now, you have to take this moment seriously." and you had socialist saying "always has been, this is just the newest low in our constant downward trajectory."

              I mean, you both have a point, this is very much literally fascism and the obvious prelude to going full jakarta on anyone left of John birch and also the inevitable trajectory the USA has always been on.

            Legal scholar Juan Cole describes Trump's election this way: "How the U.S. went fascist." Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns terms Trump's presidency "Hitleresque." Historian Ron Rosenbaum, author of "Explaining Hitler," insists that Trump's tenure so far is based on a "playbook written in German. That playbook is 'Mein Kampf.'"

        Ehh it has a material change. Losing infrastructure and organization will make formulated any sort of opposition far more difficult
