I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

    Manchurian candidate activated. Hahah Just think in terms of domestic abuse or domestic problems. Once Trump’s base realizes that he lied to them, the left wing won’t need to do a thing. The last thing you want to do is be reactionary and create a climate of dangerous leftist mob. Once Trump’s base is angry, just remember these are the individuals with the guns and have been preparing forever. We’re not to the point where we’re at World War 3 completely. Once your kids get drafted, watch all hell break loose. The right wing is repulsive, but just wait. They will be your friendenmies. Most domestic terrorism is created by right-wing ideology. The guy that shot President Trump was a Republican from Pennsylvania. Just remember that. Keep your head on a swivel. Hold tight the American impiralist Empire is falling apart. Trump is accelerating this, which tittolates me.

      The naivety that still people have about authoritarian followers baffles me…

      There is no point at which his base will turn on him.

      There is no action he could perform, no line he could cross, no hardship he could impose that they won’t accept gladly so long as he promises them that “the enemy” suffers more.

      There is no turning back from this point of the fascist take over, I’m not a historian, but I’ve been reading books on how countries fall and there isn’t a single one I can think of (please i’m begging you name one, no snark I honestly don’t want to be right) that have turned back from this precipice, what comes after is blood, famine and war… Maybe we get some sort of stability after, but that’s a crap shoot…
