The US is sleepwalking into fascism. Well, don't say we didn't warn you.

Oh, the fascists are waking wide-eyed awake straight into it. And they’re dragging the rest of us with them.

I'm wide awake, my heart is pounding, and my vocal chords are shredded from the screaming. Not all of us are asleep. 1/3rd of the country actually wants this.

1/3rd of the country actually wants this.

Not-so-fun fact: in 1930s Germany, the highest the Nazi Party ever performed in a national vote was 37%.

It's not sleepwalking if we all know that it's happening and are screaming about it, but nobody in power is doing anything to stop it.

Fact is, like any normal distribution, 2/3 if American voters are uneducated centrists that dont understand how their system of government works or what the meaning of scary political words mean. To them, the world is just fine, but that Biden feller made me sleepy so fuck him.

Most Americans have no idea what is waiting for them on January 21st 2025.

sick of this talking point, we're wide awake and the warning signs are all there.

Yep law and justice is either complicit or nutless and that’s why we’re all sweating this.

What worries me is that we keep getting reassured that someday, at least one of these 91 charges will stick and it will take care of everything. But I see absolutely zero reason to believe that there will be any consequences whatsoever. The delay tactics have thus far been working and his popularity just grows and grows.

We are wide awake and still letting it happen; and we see it happen in other countries the world over. My only conclusion is that this is what people want.

I disappointingly keep finding out people at work support him and now I just assume no matter how decent someone might appear… they probably deep down are shit. I have to awkwardly avoid conversations about their dumb world views whenever politics come up. It’s concerning the number of every day people that want this shit.

It's always from someone who doesn't live in the US, too.
