    Bruh, we should have started last year when he started paraphrasing Hitler. We should have started when it became known that he had a defacto 30% of the Republican vote as a starting point.

    We should be talking about this now, but we need to be treating it like we’re now witnessing a replay of Hitler’s rise to power. We don’t just need to talk about a second presidency, we need to talk about the very likely second coup attempt, his flirtation with dictatorship, and the fight for democracy we’re going to have for the next decade at least.

      Historically, the expiration date for a country, before a major revolt or dictatorial uprising, is usually 250 years or so after its founding… That’s 2026 for us.

        I’ve heard that before. I wonder how much of our current state of affairs is organic vs some fascist history-bros who think we’re on a schedule.
