For now. And it’s not like the Nazis started gassing people in extermination camps on day 1. That’s the thing. They started with one thing, and people didn’t like it but got used to it. Then they added another thing, and people eventually accepted that too. And so on. It got worse and worse. But once you accept the small things, you’ll accept more and more. That’s why I knew years ago during Trump’s first term, that this kind of shit would happen. It’s the natural consequence when people accept the shit they did from him back then. And now he’s worse, and people still accept it. And don’t come to me with “but look at the protests!~!!” because they don’t work. Protesting only where and when it’s allowed is not a protest, it’s a parade, and it can (and will!) be ignored by the powers that be. Well, or used as an excuse to kill more of you. Americans are being killed in broad daylight and nothing is being done. People are being sent to concentration camps on foreign soil, and nothing is being done. Minorities are losing their rights and protections, and nothing is being done. It’s kinda like how Jewish people at first only lost their rights and weren’t immediately slaughtered… But it escalated and we know where it ends. You are already collectively accepting the former.

I don’t accept any of it but there is also nothing I can do without being arrested or shot and that really is the reality of it. If our military turned on our government and a coup happened, that would stop a lot of shit. That’s about the only way I can see all the bullshit stopping. I understand the slow transfer of power that happened and I understand how the Nazis came to be but at the same time, there’s more opposition this day in age and because world war 2 happened it’s incredibly difficult to be able to pull that bullshit again. I’m not for trump, i’m waiting for the next one and i’m hoping it’s a young person between the cognitive ages of 38-58 and i’m hoping they’ll represent the current generations at play and i’m hoping the next one isn’t a republican nazi. i voted for the cackling one and i was originally going to vote for cornel west but decided that it would have a larger impact to vote for kamala.

They don’t need majority support to do anything, as long as people just stand by and let it happen anyway. Because when you actually do the actions it takes to make the actions match the magnitude of your words you’re considered a terrorist. while our government is allowed to be be ran by actual terrorists 😔
