      I vote all blue in a very red district and county, what else can I do? They’re too stupid to understand how dangerous their red vote is, and there is no changing their minds.

        Are you linked up with Dems or any activist groups on the local level (city, county, etc)? Communication & organization will be key

        I’d recommend moving just for your own personal safety, after that consider running for office yourself!

      I emigrated as soon as RBG died. I am not coming back, except maybe as that gyrocopter dude from Mad Max.

      Don’t worry, gun owners have pinkie promised they’ll overthrow any tyrants, right after they’ve finished enthusiastically voting for them.

        All these years gun owners saying they’re needed to protect the populace from a tyrannical government. The irony.

          The weird thing with these gun nuts is many of them support arming the government via the police and military. Which is their enemy.

          “Over-throwing” the government is a dog whistle for “anyone they disagree with”.

            It’s rebellion against the “tyranny” of facing social consequences for saying the N-Word

      To me it feels more like an orchestrated march toward fascism.

      I think the monied interests and the powers they have are directly threatened by democracy and the younger generations being far more progressive then they can control through propaganda alone. They would wrather remove any semblance of democracy than loose their power.

      The slow but steady march is by design, frogs in an ever warming pot till it’s to late.
