It was bad. It may get worse. We've also been here before.

No we haven’t been here. Last time was just prep work for this. And we didn’t dismantle that work. We’re primed to efficiently implement the wishes of tyrants.
Exactly, last time the question of "can we just shoot the protesters" was answered with "no".
This time the answer is "obviously yes".
Well, we have been here before, but they picked the wrong comparison point.
The correct parallel is the Weimar Republic in the early 1930s.
And yes: I’m saying this is likely the inception of the first American Reich (or whatever it ends up being called), only this time it’ll be theocratic too, so the hardcore fanatics will also know they’ve got god on their side. Wcgw.

Or Mordor...
I think once we start seeing people being dragged out into the streets, put into camps, or whatever crazy shit they plan on doing, that will be the time to make this kind of decision. Right now, there may be some kind of response that we can take that might help.

At least take out a few Nazis with you.
What use is there in taking your own life?
If you cannot flee, then prepare to fight.
a fair question
We’ve collectively and decisively lept into the arms of authoritarianism.
America will get what it wants.
And the rest of us will get what we don't want.
50% of us couldn't be bothered to have an opinion, so I guess they get what they get.
Oh it could. It just wasn't.
Sounds like a follow-up to the announcement 🤦
