    I hope it won’t turn into “weaponized doomerism” like in Eastern European countries like Hungary and Russia.

    In Hungary, a lot of people just gave up altogether, and stopped voting. It’s also often being used to get people to become Fidesz supporters.

      If they fuck around they’re going to find out real fast. Look how long it’s taken to get weed semi legal. Like we’ve already lived in a kinda super wealthy oligarchy. I don’t think we need to fight, unless the fascists win. They don’t make up nearly the majority though so we could see what happened in Brazil here, horrible but they did get a more socially minded president. But Trump never conceded and still doesn’t. He’s caused basically a weird cult.
