    Every time they do something like this without actual police arresting them and judges condemning them to prison, the US steps one clear bold step further into fascism.

    Let’s face it: it won’t be the NRA-type militia people that’ll stop it, likely not local PD… Their best bet (in the US) is to have part of their military completely split from the rest and from the regime.

    The only way that happens is if there’s a clearly articulated, constitution-focused leader that emerged, rallies the troops around their actual oath, and starts fighting.

    Mark Kelly, Pete Buttigieg, other politicians with strong military credibility better start a proper resistance before they’re removed by anticipation…

    Edit: and the most infuriating thing? This whole thing is the insanely accurate depiction of what Putin’s winning endgame is, has always been: a US so destabilized and stuck in infightining that Russia can re expand its borders unchallenged… Putput must be creaming it hard these days.

      The US has been a fascist police state since the early 2000s. The difference is under trump they’re going mask off and people are starting to notice.
