U.S. Politics

it's always been about control.
This.
They can jail and deport us metaphorically. Loyalty oaths, criminalization of non-approved speech, citizens reporting on other citizens, and more.
And it’s already happening.

It’s worse, far worse, than we are allowing ourselves to process. I know that even I myself am incapable of fully embracing how bad things already are and have been.

Fascism isn’t “coming”. It’s already here.

And the solutions to it are not things folks are gonna be comfortable talking about in a casual way.

I read someone post about what to do if the Democrats ever get back in power (all 3 branches) and one interesting thing they mentioned, which I thought was a novel idea (but not practical) was to close all military bases in deep red states and move everyone/everything to deep blue states.

He was talking about full shutdown. All equipment and personnel get redistributed to deep blue states. All the bases get torn down to flat land so they can't be reused/repurposed by the states and it has to be done much like they are doing now....."shock and awe, get it done, flood the zone so they can't stop it before it is too far gone." Basically the idea was that it would cripple the ability of red states to provide material support to future Republican governments should they try to go down this path again.

Of course people flocked in to tell him about how many problems there are with that idea, but I did think it was a funny and, admittedly, gratifying idea to think about for just a second.

I will say that they seem to be really trying to accelerate the ICE/military agenda now which is strange because there doesn't seem to be anything on the horizon they need to try and push outside of the usual.

We will absolutely have to do all the things we lacked the will to do after the Civil War AND MORE if we want even a chance at stamping this shit out.
This is the stuff people don’t want to talk about.
Also I don’t trust “the democrats” to do it correctly and altruistically.
 
May be an image of 2 people and text that says 'Comrade Dale Earnhardt 33m ·· Ice sprays directly in the face the lead believe pastor for First Presbyterian in Chicago. This photo I believe will go down in history.'
