They’re geared up for the authoritarian state. Corporate rule. Gutted EPA, FDA, etc. No privacy. Moderated online content. Increase the “domestic supply of infants” (read: work and military forces) by making women more brood mare like (see: Roes fall). And now a president is more like a king and can do anything. All of it points in one general direction.

Just think, November 5th of 2024 may be the last time American's can vote freely in a presidential election.

I want to get off of Mr Bones Wild Ride

Seriously though this is why being politically active AND voting is God damned important.

Voting seems to be doing fuck-all if I'm being perfectly honest. We need to stop coasting to a stop and slam on the brakes.

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago

Voting without being politically active does do fuck all. But not voting ensures that the people you really don't want to win can do so without any pushback.

Voting costs you nothing and you should do it, even if it feels like a waste of time. However, going to BLM in 2020 made me realize how pointless being "politically active" is. Nothing will change for the better in the US unless people arm themselves and strike fear into the state itself.

It sounds really grim, but if politicians feared they’d be shot for their greed, maybe we’d have a more fair society.

Definitely. Society is fucked right now because people are brought up to believe that peaceful protest is some sort of societal panacea.

The rule of law seems awfully flimsy today.

Actually the "rule of law" looks exactly like this.
