Oh trust me, I understand how fascism and these sorts of things works. The vast majority of people will be surprised if the US experiences some kind of genocide or civil war. But that’s just it, the average person has a hard time seeing it coming, so you can’t raise the alarm on things that seem innocuous. They’ll think you’re crazy. You have to point at the really fucked up stuff happening right now so they can imagine what would happen if those people got their way.

In any case, we still have time to change course, and this post would be a good one for getting people politically organized and fighting that way, since they have a hard time understanding how this sort of thing leads to violence.
