I don’t think we’ve reached the point of no return yet, but I also don’t think you’re overreacting. We’re in a dangerous moment, and you’re right to be worried, but it’s not the first time we’ve been here. America is resilient. When norms are shattered, resistance builds. We’re seeing that right now
🙏🙏🙏🙏
When were we here before?
Never, we’ve never fucking been here before and I can’t believe people keep acting like this shit is normal.
Too many people I know say “I’m just not into politics”🙄. I want to scream when I hear them say it. They’re mostly the young ones so caught up in video gaming to lift their heads and comprehend what’s going on!
Civil War says hi.
Did we have concentration camps during the civil war?
for Native Americans yes. BTW Alligator Alcatraz is getting shut down, personally I never agreed with it being called a concentration camp as to me that kind of minimalizes the true horrors at places like Auschwitz.
This is different. Sure, we had corrupt Presidents and people that did bad things. But those were in times when the government didn’t have modern armed forces and surveillance capabilities like now.
meh I ain't worried, Dunce isn't competent enough for that.
WA ST here was happy to see Ferguson bite back.... was wondering if it was gonna happen

You aren’t seeing that. You should just admit - we are a country of cowards and over indulgence pigs.
I see people in the streets week after week. I see people doing what they can to try to protect innocents from ICE. I see people filling up town halls & shouting down obvious lies. I know many choosing to spend their dollars differently. Yeah, & cowards are having a moment, too.
At a snail’s pace. Troops in DC are now armed. The coup is underway.
no it's not Alex Jones.
When were we here before? The Civil war, McCarthyism, Civil Rights Movement?
Really good pod from a few years ago about the last century's coup attempt. Most of this stuff I did not hear in any history class. open.spotify.com/show/3ImqTb6...
thanks!
Thanks, Angry... I think we're going to have to be more resilient that we ever have been if our democracy is going to remain intact. I just hope we don't get exhausted. Thanks for the reply and the insight, Angry!
Funny thing about ‘point of no return’: one usually only sees it in hindsight like the tree climber who has gone out on the limb one inch too far and now sees that point of no return on the way down to the ground. As a country we are way out on the limb and it’s cracking: the fall will be fatal.
