I've pointed this out elsewhere, but if I'm going to have something of a megaphone, this needs to be endlessly pointed out. What is happening is not normal, and the more we normalize it, the more they win.

We are in the late Weimar. Some 248 years was a good run, but this is no longer a democracy, and the sooner people realize that, the better.

This is not hyperbole. And fuck off with "we were always a republic." So was Rome until exactly this inflection point. Learn some fucking history.

If we look back on history, 100% of the worlds population with the exception of Trump, Vance, Musk and the moronic MAGAs would believe that the best time to put Hitler out of his misery is before he took total power.

We are having that moment right now. Trump needs to be eradicated.

Let's please not go all the way to espousing assassination. Yes, this is terrible, but we are a small instance with limited resources, and while I will let this stand for now, I'd prefer you to reconsider how you interact in a public space where you have no control over who sees your posts.
