We absolutely are. I said it five years ago and I'll keep saying it. Every hallmark of the beginnings of a civil war is present in the US. It's a when, not an if; by strictest argument it could be said that it's already begun.

How many democrat politicians have been murdered now?

Honestly I've not even been keeping track. 😞

It's already here. It's just kinda lazy and para-military: all the right wingers storming the Capitol or shooting up public areas or terrorizing public figures that speak out is incited through their rhetoric.

Aye. Exactly the reasons I say it's arguably already begun.

I feel you. I wish none of this had happened. Everyone's just gotta try to survive it. 🫂

Same. Now the goal is to organize until they are gone by any means necessary

People keep talking about organizing and I genuinely think that most Americans are not getting that there's no longer a way out of this without violence.

I’m curious how you see that playing out?

I'm not an expert, but my suspicion is that it will play out similarly to the former Soviet Union. Alternatively, I could also see it going the way of military coup, ultimately. The only other way fascism has been defeated is by international intervention and I don't see that happening for the US.

The problem is that it isn’t just fascism, it’s oligarchy. And destroying oligarchy requires destroying tremendous wealth, which usually means a lot of people get wiped out. If plague, war or state collapse doesn’t cause that, climate change probably will. It’s all grim.

Agreed and agreed. It's a huge dumpster fire that won't be put out quickly.

I cant say if you'll be right or wrong but no that is not the only way fascism has been defeated in history

I said the only *other* way.

I mean that still requires organizing... A general strike and massive shut down is still much more effective than violent methods if we'd actually do it! That's well known. I think it'll take violence but it can easily be done without it being widespread. Who knows if it will

How long would a general strike have to last to even put a dent in their bs? Violence. Strike. Banned book readings. Our children are going to really suffer.

Honestly? Not long at all. They fold like cheap suits constantly

I think about this every time a “devastating” poll comes out that shows Trump’s support still holding at 40%-ish. I really believe we are past the point of being able to reach a consensus now. I don’t think we ever had one. Just resilient cultural myths that have been pushed to the breaking point.

⚪ America - I hate to say it - broadly did have a consensus and while that played out sorta democratically for awhile, the US other people lived in - especially Black and Indigenous folk - lived in the same US that ⚪ Americans are now seeing. The end goal of racism/imperialism is always fascism.

Absolutely.
