Yeah, my reply was too brief & misunderstandable, so let me 'splain.
We need to stop deluding ourselves into thinking there’s a political solution to what Trump, Musk, and the Republicans are doing. There’s not.
Most Americans have been thoroughly misinformed and won’t care about the destruction of democracy until the repercussions smack them personally in the face, but by then the coup will be completed. Dems in Congress will not spontaneously evolve spines. I’m out there picketing, but only for my conscience and mental health, not because I imagine the fascists will hear us and yield. They won’t.
Politics as usual is finished in America. We will be left with whatever rights Trump & Musk decide we should have, which won’t be much and won’t be up for ‘debate’. The current dismantling of America will lead to violence, which I neither want nor call for, and which I’m too old, weak, and generally chickenshit to participate in. The violence is going to happen, though, with the police, the military, and the un-regulated militia against we the people who hope for freedom, and we will lose. After that, reconstructing democracy in America will take generations of struggle and bloodshed.
It’s moot and silly to talk of ‘fixing this’ via elections or reforming the Democratic Party. That ship has sailed and sunk. America, 1776-2025, RIP.
There will be no ‘fixing this’.
Lol, you sound like you’re on the MAGA’s side.

Lol I understood you the first time. You want to tear down the government. Just like MAGA.
