Doesn’t it kind of feel as if this has reached some sort of end game here? Previously, it has always felt like - yeah, they play dirty, but they keep their bullshit contained to reasonable levels. But recently, it’s just been one absolute blatantly democracy-shattering decision one after another.
There’s been a concerted effort to infiltrate and influence politics by conservative Christians for years. I think events like the Brook Brothers riot emboldened dropping the thin veil of the Democratic process as they saw you can literally steal an election and no one will do anything about it. The real test of what the people will tolerate is only beginning, I fear.
Because we played right into their hand, the have been telegraphing this for years. All of their bullshit has been slowly ramping up for years, slowly getting more unreasonable but compared to everything else they’ve done it’s really not that much worse. Now that they were able to completely set the field they can move on the they’re end game. And I’m not sure we can stop them now.
If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked- if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in '43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non- Jewish shops in '33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C?

America is fucked, because nobody rises up.
Well, one guy did, and he was about an inch away from succeeding.
Wind took it.
Too bad.
If at first you don’t succeed…

Well, yeah, because they think they are confident in the outcome now.
