    They might finally actually admit it’s a dictatorship and start behaving accordingly.

    But yeah, they could cling to their denial. That’s already happening right now though. The shock still has a better chance than the slow boil though, slim a chance as it is neoliberals will ever wake up.

      That’s so delusional. “Sure, it will become a full Christofascist theocracy, but people might become aware of that, so it is better.” You have childish hot takes on the matter.

        How is it childish? What’s more dangerous; a public that sliwly acclimates to fascism or one that is shocked into action at its immediacy?

        All you have to offer is more slow decline. That’s the opposite of what I want. This conversation kind of demonstrates why the only hail-mary left is shocking you guys back to reality. It’s literally the only option you’ve left anti-fascists.

          You made your position clear that you want a fast decline and permanent Christofascist theocracy. Then what are you going to do? Let’s assume the neolibs are woken up. They are not going to be La Resistance, they are going to be Good Germans.

          It’s galling that you’re talking about shocking other people back to reality. It will be harder to push left under the dictatorship, especially after they start executing leftists.

          “You guys say every election is the end of days,” again, we are literally in the comments section discussing the Repub candidate who has been expressing his desire to do political executions.
