    How can we be in such a stupid timeline?

    It is perfectly obvious that Trump and his fascist brain trust are methodically testing every limit to democracy, they are already arresting citizens who have broken no laws, they are using physical violence and military control over civilians, and this is obviously leading up to a militarized authoritarian state. And at the same time our Congress - including many GOP opportunists who don’t actually believe in Trump but think there’s no real danger - are utterly incapable of seeing the big picture.

    You spineless windbags in Congress, it’s happening right now, Trump is dismantling democracy right now. Do something. Introduce articles of impeachment and shut down Congress until they’re voted on, put pressure at every possible point.

    Yes, congresspeople, you didn’t have the votes, that’s why you influence public opinion in service of what’s right - you know, politics. Have you heard of it?

    Their learned helplessness is just giving Trump unitary lawless control on a silver platter.

      I guess I’m so powerful that I can control a national election by sharing news on Lemmy. Hah!

          You commented 12 hours after the comment in question was deleted. So you were not even aware of the context. Why comment to defend ozma?

          You upvoted ozma’s response after the original comment and context was deleted. Again you don’t know what was said but you support ozma.

          I suspect you’re in cahoots.

            I checked the mod logs.

            Why comment to defend ozma?

            Because I like his posts.

            Ya got me, skipper. I’m also a Russian bot and a secret trump supporter and a woke mob and whatever you wanna call me without proof.

              I never said you were Russian or a Trump supporter. Why did you assume that?

              Also, why do you go searching the modlogs to defend him?

              Seems weird to me.

                It’s called a joke.

                Also, why do you go searching the modlogs to defend him?

                Because other users were complaining about it being removed. It takes 5 seconds to click the 3 dots and read them.
