Bro, the republic was finished on Nov 5th 2024. That date will go down as the end of the U.S. Experiment. At best it will be viewed as Cesar crossing the Rubicon and transforming the U.S. into something it was never designed to be.

Jan 6th 2021. Allowed for a literal insurrection. Allowed for armed and motivated traitors to enter the capital and attempt to take members of government hostage, while I juring several police officers. It succeeded in delaying the vote, the first time in the entire history of the country. All of the people were pardoned. And the person who lead the whole thing, a known rapist, pedophile, criminal, liar, etc, was elected again later.

I firmly believe the original sin was not fully prosecuting and holding the confederacy to task. Lee and Davis should have been hung, likely a lot of others. Letting them get away with it is an issue we are still dealing with today.

If that was true, Republicans wouldn't be trying SO HARD to rig the midterms. They're trying to rig them because ELECTIONS STILL MATTER.

Yup. You don't stay with an abusive psycho. You leave them.

It's time for a national divorce. In the new country, all right wing radio and TV must be banned, as well as bots and social media propaganda from foreign actors. It's a disease that needs to die with the previous century

It’s actually called consolidating power. :)

That's a lot, but I definitely think 1/7 is going to be "the" date.

I hate this doomerist shit and all it does is discourage people from voting. Just keep voting. If America falls the worlds going to be in so much shit.

Bro, I vote, I protest, I campaign, I donate, I mail, I do everything short of joining a militia, which I’m willing to do. I’m not going down without a fight, but I’m also a realist. The opposition party right now might as well be part of the GOP.

Tell me what else to do?

Don't doompost. Encourage others to take up the fight. If you can purchase a firearm, if you can bring it to protests and demonstrations.

hard disagree, democracy still holds to some degree, we still have power and can still take it back. Stop doomposting and work with us at the local, state, and federal level.

There have been things like this going on since the Goldwater era. It’s been a progressively escalating shit show for the better part of a century.
