Fuck this optimism. We need realism. And I don’t mean pessimism, I mean realism. Pessimism is assuming nothing will change for the better. Optimism is assuming troubles will pass without you having to do anything. Realism is adjusting the sails.
This isn’t inevitably going to end after the midterms or after the next scheduled presidential election. Those responsible aren’t inevitably going to be prosecuted. It’ll only happen if someone makes it happen.
Everyone needs to stop assuming this will pass. The world needs to gear up to protect itself, America needs to do something about this mess. The sooner America and the rest of the world recognizes that America is now a fascist dictatorship, the sooner something might be able to be done about it.
Lots of people who are anti-trump think this will be resolved at the next election, either in 2026 or 2028. I’m not convinced there will even be elections. I want people to hurry up and stop pretending America is still a democracy and that if you don’t like things you just have to wait four years. Trump already tried to overthrow the government to avoid leaving office
yeah I guess im basically on the same level as you. Im guessing trump is going to try and say all mail in voting is invalid and have paramilitary at every polling location to make sure its “safe”
