For the majority of us, we aren’t going to ever wake up to it until it’s literally dragging their neighbors out of their houses for wrongthink. We have a terminal case of “it can’t happen here” and a media ecosystem entirely owned by billionaire right wingers. We’ll be gaslit into believing anyone speaking out is just exaggerating and fanning the flames of political violence.

I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that we come out of this without first having to go through a God knows how long brutal dictatorship.
