    Oh they are a big deal usually, but you can't really stage a fascist coup in a country that is already fash lol.

        I agree, but imo that shit will happen with or without a coup. They're already banning trans people without much push back from democrats. They can make it worse without a coup because they're already technically in power.

            No I'm saying mainstream American politics is already that bad. DeSantis already called for the eradication of trans people and laws are changing to reflect that. We already have concentration camps at the boarder. Millions of lower class workers killed because they had to work through covid. Genocide has already begun. The maga is coming from inside the house. Who's to say they won't go for the jews next?

                  You're not. You can't explain something to someone who doesn't want to understand it. People are clinging to "At least it's not as bad as it could be!" as a security blanket.

            Who is worse? Frothing fascists, or the people pandering to their every whim for cynical, self serving reasons? I suppose the frothing fascists because they have an ideology, but the outcome is exactly the same.

                So you think Republicans wouldn't do progroms if they thought it would net them 0.1% more votes? They crossed every other 'unthinkable' line so far if they thought it would.

                Slight rephrase: The outcome is the same, but will arrive slower, but also with far bigger certainty.

        Listen, Ma Kettle and the good time boys shootin' up the shittiest people possible can only be funny to me.

        They can't make it worse because the people they are mad at are the ones in charge of making it worse already. The DNC would love to see a few senators get shot. You know how many donations they'd get odd that?
