    Yeah, because you were being a dick on your first comment.

    Just say “my bad” and be more thoughtful going forward, that’s all it takes.

      TIL not wanting to discourage standing up to fascism makes me a “dick.”

        While grue may have said it rude and crude, they aren’t wrong.

        The longer people mill about waiting for someone else to lead them - vs organizing, preparing, etc themselves - allows Trump and his syncophants more time to settle into power.

        Wait too long and Americans miss their chance to shut this shit down.

          Indeed, exactly this. They are, just like the nazis did, using the small window of opportunity (where most folks still don’t realise what’s going on) to disable the basic checks and balances our modern system of governance provides.

          However, as most of us in the West have such little understanding of how it would be to live under autocratic or even fascist rule, it’s just hard to grasp that we’re mere months away from precisely that happening.

          I get where Grue is coming from.
