    Dude. We’re actively heading towards Nazi germany style fascism. It’s far past the point where people can be forgiven for ignoring what’s happening especially those that voted for this. So many republicans are saying things about not knowing it would end up like this when they had their whole fucking playbook readable online.

      I mean, the cold, hard truth is that we’re all pretty powerless in this situation.

      It’s what we get for funneling as much power as possible to as few people as possible. The most abusive among us have the most control.

      Aside from terrorism, there really isn’t anything the average joe can do besides look out for themselves and their loved ones.

      As soon as we start threatening those in power, they spend a little bit more of our money to convince us that they’re right and we’re wrong.
