The longer the rubes hold on to this pipe dream that the dems
That’s how far I got before I could hear the aluminium hat.
Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?

For democracy? Yes.
The longer the rubes hold on to this pipe dream that the dems can make a come back the further we will slip and longer it will take to recover. Unfortunately I don’t think they will ever give up on the democratic party and they will spend all their political goodwill investing in this farce of a party.
Say, free and fair elections survive by some act of god. 5hat doesn’t change the fact the GOP can beat them handley in a free and fair election. The only Trump needed to cement his win was the Supreme Court to sign off on everything. Given immunity all the road blocks trump had before have been lifted.
We have till January and you will see what the executive is actually capable of, with limp dick biden kicked to the curb.
The terror that will be trumps deportation methods will have your jaw drop and I’m not kidding. We tolerated kids in cages, Abu Ghraib is coming to America and our own sex trafficker and chief will begin some truly despicable shit you better believe media capture is part of it because there is no way other country’s will be let in on this side of the veil.
I’m not a doomer. It’s not hyperbole. Im oracle and would pay my own life to be wrong.
I still am hopeful though that my country men can snap out of it and quit dismissing me in a timely manner that will allow us to actually resist this upheaval. If we wait till the midterms though, this shit is cooked packed and on the shelf.

Some very profound points.
I think we were fucked once we had a window to all the world’s knowledge in our pockets. The line was immediately blurred between having access to that knowledge and the capacity to truly know and process, to possess, that knowledge.
That used to be the casual dividing line between the adults that considered politics and the people puking up shrimp and strawberry wine at the jersey shore. Now the shrimp and strawberry people count fox-scented infotainment as “news” and really just as their sports team of choice - and they line the paths to polling stations holding automatic rifles. They feel emboldened by knowledge they don’t actually possess but feel confidence in the fact that they “could look up whenever, just don’t want to right now”.
All the “Good Liars” clips are a front row seat on American democracy bleeding out.
