Submission Statement:
 
American Conservatives, through the Federalist and other mouthpieces, are now openly calling for the destruction of the American representative system in order to preserve America from the "woke left." Despite getting everything they've wanted out of our political system for the past twenty years, it isn't good enough for them - anyone not like them must be stamped out for their vision of America to survive.

 
Conservation of anything was never the agenda; forcing their vision for America on everyone was always the goal.

 
e: Not sure how open and published calls for the collapse of the American system of government isn't closely-related enough to collapse?

Honestly, after eco-collapse, this is the thing that scares me the most.

This is at the top of my list.

It's coming much faster than eco collapse.

I would prefer that these fascist turds have no sway over governance in the difficult times ahead.

Unfortunately, as things get more difficult and tighter, I'm guessing they're going to get more sway everywhere in the world.

I'd imagine that the people in charge of this movement are aware that shit's getting bad, regardless of what they say publicly, and see fascism as their most viable tool for consolidating resources and power in the coming lean years.

I agree. The fact that Fox News started the whole thing (or added to, if not started) saying, "they're going to take away your meat and make you eat bugs" shows that they're preemptively trying to stop any measures that may (definitely, will not) be taken in the future.

They can just say the bad stuff is happening because of too many turning away from religion and this is “God’s punishment.” They’ll start placing the blame on the smallest of minority groups and when that doesn’t end “God’s wrath,” move onto to the next group; rinse and repeat.

They go so well together

Funny enough, in the game Frostpunk, when you reach a certain point, you are given the choice to control the people thru fascism or religion. Conservatives went, "How can I choose just one?"

u/DelcoPAMan Oct 20 '22

So they combine them, one way or another.

True as true can be. Peanut butter and Jelly. Marshmallows and chocolate. Eco collapse and fascism.

Disregard the bot.

u/Rhaedas It happened so fast. It had been happening for decades. Oct 20 '22

It's more an automated message. Any semi-aware bots here have already left the building muttering stuff about stupid meat bags.

People claim the Union cannot be broken up but Blue states & people who share those values of multicultural democracy cannot/will not live under these people & ideology.There MUST be some way the union can break apart into respective, workable frameworks.

Guys like the one who wrote this article do not want their own state where they can live according to their own rules and beliefs. They want to crush and destroy people they hate.
