      take it seriously. fascist regimes wont’ tolerate criticism, or mockery, or pointing out how fucking evil they are. the direction we’re rapidly mimicking is north korea. btw fun fact: it’s illegal to call it “north korea” in north korea; it’s “democratic people’s republic of korea,” and south korea isn’t called south korea, it’s called “puppet regime”

      “that could never happen in america!!!” too many people are still saying

      while it’s literally happening

          you’re not alone. it’s so depressing, shit getting worse every single day. whatever “good” things are happening don’t outweigh the fascism

            I’m in my forties, and it just feels like we’ve been constantly losing ground since Obama left office, I’m just so frustrated by all of the apathy, corruption, and dishonesty, and have been since 2015.

              same. add to that, that everyone i try to talk to about this would rather pretend it’s somehow going to get better, or that somehow “the law” will catch up to these fascists and stop them in their tracks.

              i guess we’ve been conditioned to believe that the bad things will just go away if we just say ‘this is fine’

              the protests are a noble effort. but they’ve done nothing

      the year is 2025, a Chinese citizen responds to the Tiananmen Square copypasta with a picture of BB Vance and the Alligator Auschwitz copypasta. The American citizen’s internet access is immediately cut off and they are ordered to lay face down outside where the Amazon Prime predator drone can see them to wait for an ICE collection crew.
