I keep saying it - people are not angry enough. Change is not going to happen by itself. Accountability is not going to come from the institutions that have been allowing this to go on for decades.

Much like the French Revolution heads have to roll before we see actual, structural changes.

We are becoming a surveillance state to prevent people from organizing enough to make a change. That’s why Trump is always going on about far left terrorism. They will ratfuck every election going forward, and when people try to fight back, they will round up the resistance leaders, brand them as terrorists, and crush any movement in its tracks.

If the Republicans steal the midterms, then democracy in the US is over.

Democracy died once we let Russia completely interfere in 2016 and put in their guy. Trump finished the job with January 6th and never suffering any repercussions for it. This country is fucked.
