      i think a some people are in a little bit of a denial of just how bad a political crisis we lived through early this year

      There is so much denial on this -- particularly from people who have locked themselves into some version (left or right) of anti-anti-Trumpism.

          Most people have to “lol fake” because what are they really going to do? We have been so successfully shut out of the decision making process and bought off with the post war boom, that is now gone, easy debt replaced wealth.

          I feel like I recognize it as bad and also wish more people saw how the 2000 election was actually stolen (with an organized riot)

          For my own part I’m a little unclear on what the stakes were. Like, I get that Trump was unwilling to put the demonstration down and would have accepted the mobs support if he could have, but it doesn’t sound like he was never really in a position to make that happen

          Like, I’m not sure we can say that democracy was hanging in the balance given that there doesn’t seem to have been anyone in the military or federal bureaucracy that was actually trying to support what was happening. This isn’t exactly “for the want of a nail”

          Yes, and no, I have a sense, the first time in my life that we are facing a fascist threat.

          A large portion of one of the two major polical parties in this country supports the overthrow of democracy.

          “The temporary failure of the right-wing coup endorsed by a supermajority of one of only two viable parties is…a validation of the immaculate vision of Our Founding Fathers.”
