like it's really not too-too surprising that, after years of protests that dems in some of the bluest states and cities went hardcore 'bust some heads' with cops and national guard on protesters, many aren't really thrown off by a higher executive deploying national guard on their city too

Bowser's response has been shameful, too. Her reaction to the news that NG from outside of DC would be marching in her streets was to go to Martha's Vineyard. I have said it before, but it's like these people *want* to die in a fascist purge. Warning them does nothing.

it's really something to see people who are so obviously, blatantly corrupt, but not in a way that actually sustains longterm power or even survival. so insulated within power and wealth that they begin to lose any kind of fear response or survival instinct. truly american aristocracy.

It's wild because the right has also lost its fear response and it is also blatantly corrupt in a way that does not sustain longterm power or even survival. That is part of why anyone to their left is in danger. It's how Gretchen Whitmer can end up at the WH after a kidnapping attempt by the right.

It's how you get an assassinated democratic rep and 0 lasting political or strategic impact.

when people say stuff like 'we can pressure them AFTER the election' it's no longer a thing of 'do you actually want to pressure them or are you just saying shit to get people to shut up', and much more 'these guys don't even react to attempts on their lives. what kinda pressure would even work'

a guy tries to kill pelosi's husband, because he's trying to kill pelosi, the GOP make jokes about it, and she's right back to wanting a strong republican party and bipartisanship. imagining a hardcore accelerationist just at their wit's end with them. they're like fucking cartoons.

It's very frustrating sitting here with enough history in my head to know exactly what is going to happen, and exactly the benefit of stopping it, while also knowing that we exist within the systems we do, and that the elite do as well, and the systems are extremely robust and difficult to change.

It's maddening in some ways. We've been on this trajectory since before I was born, and there is very little I can do to stop it. I can only hold the people I have close to me as tight as possible and try and survive it with them. Even as I rage against it. Best I can do is create space for others.
