I’m going to be “that guy”. It’s over. We’re toast. Stick a fork in democracy; it’s done. All we can do now is survive day to day, and hopefully not end up in El Salvador. Welcome to 1984.
Downvote all you want, but take a long look in the mirror and come back and tell me how I’m wrong.
Elections certainly won't save you, but mass civic resistance might. If you're afraid of fascism, organize and go on strike.
Do you have guns? A community watch? Regular meetings? These are all possible even without the social media tools the tech bros control. It's okay if you're not up for that, some are, some aren't, but it's the only choice left it seems.
Not sure if you’ve been paying much attention to the US situation, but the constitution is pretty much useless these days. The branch of our government that is supposed to uphold it (judicial) has been long-bought-and-paid-for by dark money (i.e. bribes and kickbacks) from special interests and billionaires like the Koch brothers, Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, etc.
Long story short: we’re past being saved by the equivalent of toilet paper.
