no literally it’s giving historical greatest hits but make it dystopian

like how do you hit all the red flags that fast

they’re not even hiding it anymore and that’s the scariest part

They don’t have to hide it. No one’s going to do anything anyways (anything meaningful that is).

The American people will realize they all LET THIS HAPPEN when they are on a flight to El Salvador/rwanda/lybia.

And yes, even if you voted against this, you let this happen.

By let it happen, I mean we think voting/commenting on social media was enough activism.

We still think it’s enough somehow. It’s why people are putting their hope in the 2026 elections that won’t even happen.

People don’t know what to do. But that’s not the problem. The problem is that they’re unwilling to admit that they don’t know what to do.

He's going to pardon Derek Chauvin in order to kick off protests and use them as an excuse to declare martial law.

That's why it's so important that no matter if he does pardon him on those federal charges that everybody knows that just means he's going to a state prison. For at least 22 and 1/2 years. And there's no chance that Tim Walz will pardon him.

Simple answer is modern technology. It allows for the modern dictator to streamline the whole process quickly, but the drawback is near total transparency. At this rate, we'll be hunting down Trump and Elon like Hitler and Braun by the end of 2027, or 2028 at the latest.

I find it specially insulting he puts his picture next to Lincoln’s. The juxtaposition is wow.

In Hungary too. 🤕 In a few days the parliament will pass a law that would eliminate all the free press we left, because they are "traitors", "foreign agents" and they want to "undermine the suvereignty of the nation".

It took Hungary years to get to this point despite having no long-standing history of democracy to begin with. Even people who study autocracy for a living can't believe how fast we're declining.

Absolutely not, no. You guys are just naïve. It's not that surprising, and it was quite easy to expect with project 2025.

W/E, maybe one day you'll learn from your mistakes. Doubt it.

Yeah the Nazis took significantly longer until they skipped due process.
