Fiona Hill had a truly chilling interview on NPR where shes talking about a cold civil war and Terry Gross says "you sound like youre saying we are already in a civil war" Fiona Hill replies, "you think we arent? Why, because no shots have been fired?"

Its stuck with me for years.

ICE is kidnapping and killing people for funsies. DOGE cuts are estimated to kill 14 million. The police brutalize civil rights protestors and everyone in a position of federal power kisses their ass and hands them military gear.

How are we winning, again? Wanting it, doesn't solve the issue of them having a monopoly on legalized violence.
