I see, you’ve decided all of trumps support, and votes were from fascist and the thousand(s) who stormed the capital represent majority of the nation.
Ok, I can see how “we’re doomed” might ring true to you.
Far as I’m concerned those are fringe groups and in no way shape a form a representation of the vast majority of Americans.
Agree to disagree
Brother, I have white family members. Most live in the south. They are "regular people" but they are ready to take up arms against evil heathen liberals at a moments notice. Ready to shoot liberals, illegal immigrants, BLM, and the enemies of Trump. They talk about it all the time. They are easily misled and riled up. Those are the same people who were there on 1/6. They are not rare.
Most of these salt of the Earth people think some pretty uneducated junk. They have no intellectual framework or theory grounded in any sort of reality. If Trump explicitly told his followers to overthrow all their state governments to overthrow the federal government we would have tons of terrorist attacks for years. Assassinations. Why do you think they took away his social media?
History shows it doesn't take that many people to destabilize a country or that many people to take it over. Look at the communist revolution in Russia or the start of WWI. There is a lot in common with what happened pre-Nazi Germany and our country, especially around those leaders and dissidents going to jail and then getting out and coming into power to lash out against the people who put them there. Of course, our situation is different, but it's also still potentially horrifying because of our power and firepower. You know, we have an obscene amount of guns, bombs, rockets, and nukes?
How many people in history thought they lived in some golden country and everything was safe only to have genocide, civil war, and strife come to obliterate them the next day? This is a cyclical reality.
Americans for some strange reason think they are at the end of history and free of consequence. We're not. If we let our limited ideologies delude us into thinking we are infinitely safe we will fall. I mean, this is at the least a very white perspective - black people have been living under fascist rule this whole time. They have been fukking us over this whole time. They are one step away from pointing that fascism at its own white citizens.
IMO Fascist wouldnt have lost both houses of congress and the Oval Office... and made the butt of countless late-night jokes. You must be worried about soft ass, bytch made fascist.
