I can’t believe there’s no countermove to the USPS electoral sabotage

At least things like gerrymandering and the electoral college have a veneer of procedural legitimacy to them. You may not like those things but at least they’re part of a legal scheme you can consent to. This is a kind of next level lawlessness taking root.

I no longer trust native-born Americans’ sense of what’s going on. Exceptionalism is too deeply ingrained in your psyches for you to recognize how *not* unprecedented this is.

You think you’re headed for an impossible state and surely something will stop it. The rest of the world sees reversion to the global historical mean
This might be the least exceptional chapter in American history.Show this thread -
The only thing exceptional about American politics is really the patronizing contempt Americans being to the idea of recognizing non-American histories as meaningful precedents to learn from and act on. It’s a political version of NIH syndrome. Not Invented Here.

Yup. I am a first generation American whose father came here running from the Nazis when he was a teen. Germany ELECTED Hitler and then he dismantled the democracy. Democracies by nature are vulnerable to authoritarians bc they rely on people believing that others will not cheat.

Let's be clear, Germany never elected Hitler. He was granted the position of Chancellor, after the conservatives and industrialists pressured Hindenburg to do so, and the DNVP formed a temporary coalition with the Nazis, after which they violently suppressed political opponents.

It’s been asked before, but if the president dismantles the USPS, what can anyone actually do about it? Forget the normie centrists - nobody expects much from them anyways. I’m talking about “the resistance” What can they do? Boycott? Right. What can anyone realistically do?
