And it's barely a blip on Reddit and no where on the front page; we've passed the Weimar Republic threshold.

Decades from now people will be wondering how this could possibly happen in a democracy and the people committing it rn still don't believe that they're doing it

A lot of them know that they're doing it.

Half the people on the fediverse think Bernie is practically a right winger.

I think we’re just doomed

it's not the fediverse that's cause for concern and the shared sentiment about democrats is a symptom of our system's decline; not the cause of it.
