    anyone who doesn’t expect a regime of brutal martial law to come out of a Trump administration is fooling themselves.

    these people have already shown they don’t care about law and order to institute their belief system on the rest of us.

    what’s going to stop them? congress? they’ll kick out the Democrats because law and order mean nothing to them in their pursuit of power at any costs.

    a full scale state-by-state civil war is increasingly likely.

    I don’t think it will take over, necessarily, but it will likely get a big boost. We’d probably see dozens of new laws favoring Christian religious beliefs at the federal level.

    I think the biggest change we’ll see is the ruling class getting calcified while more and more rights get stripped away from the working class to make sure we aren’t able to challenge anything we don’t like.

    So… Like it is now, but without any room for hope.

    I urge every single American reading this to organize locally. It’s not too late yet, but if we sit on our hands, it will be.

    Both sides are not the same. If you’re not voting Biden you are voting for chaos. Full stop.

    It already looks like a christofascist state to those of us that don’t live there.

    But, like, I don’t live there so maybe I’m wrong. I’ve been there lots but I’m not exactly speaking from direct experience.

      Loud minority with some of us speaking up and the rest being sort of stunned/beaten into silence.

      I always wondered as a kid how fascists like the Nazis came to power in other countries. Living through this timeline in the US since 2016 had shed a lot of light on that. I truly think only 10-20% of the population is actually unchained enough to want Christofascism (maybe even less), but it seems like the other 80-90% of people don’t want to put forward the effort to oppose it. I think most people want to “mind their own business” to a fault. It’s led to what you see from the outside.

    thought Christo-fascism already took over

    Catholic Genocidal Silent Joe is president and the last fours years have gotten us more militarized police forces and the fall of Roe v. Wade

    people that are not white and married to Jesus are being targeted and forests razed for a cop city training ground

      You do understand that Biden had nothing to do with RvW, and the problem is the right-wing Supreme Court? He also has no control over what states and local governments do with their police force or law enforcement.

      If you’re going to be angry, be angry at reality. Not some fiction you made up because it’s easier than the truth.

        It’s probably written by AI and just mixing the wrong talking points.

        Edit: On further review, it seems he’s just an idiot, in the truest sense of the word.

          I’m starting to think more and more that the whole “Genocide Joe” thing is a Russian troll farm running through left-leaning social media to spread doing and suppress votes. They conveniently attack Joe Biden’s initial relative silence, ignore the last few weeks including the State of the Union which was very strongly pro-Palestine, and even further ignore Donald “finish the job” Trump’s violent anti-Palestine stance which would be actively genocidal.

          Don’t listen to these maniacs. They’re not voters. They’re trolls.
