Donald Trump has said that he will withhold funding for New York City if presumptive Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor after November’s general election and doesn’t do the “right thing.”

Not very close, despite the online rhetoric. Life continues and our feudal lords play their games.
If things continue to get worse and another lunatic succeeds Trump, I think talk of secession will start to gain more traction in the West. But even then, it would take something really major (and not something the Lemmy politics crowd considers major, but something that actually snaps average liberals out of their comas) to garner enough support for it to actually occur.
Western secession would be an uphill battle; it’s just as likely we’d lose an armed conflict with the rest of the country, and an all-out war would be absolutely terrifying.
I mean they’re arresting citizens with brown skin now so not too long before being a democratic registered voter is a crime.
It will come, a lot of us are anticipating it. For now the important thing is that we cannot give them reason to start massacring people.
The fascist uses debate to waste time. The resistance uses that time to waste the fascist’s time. The regime got a lot done in 6 months, but we’re still on here communicating freely. I can still go to the store, buy candles, paper, glass bottles, foam, gasoline, storm matches, lighters, nails, hammers, tape, twine (which actually makes me wonder why do I not have rope?).
The problem with the fascist mindset is that it will reach a point where they see everyone as a threat. And the goal is for everyone to be a threat by then.
